Expanded_Motivation:

The Sibaya Precinct includes the land surrounding the Sibaya Casino and is located between the N2 in the west and the Indian Ocean in the east and, from the Hawaan Forest in the south to the Main Road (MR 96). The Precinct has been strategically located along KZN’s north coast within the province’s Primary Corridor only 5 minutes from the King Shaka International Airport and iDube TradePort and in the middle of two of Durban’s major tourism nodes of Umhlanga and Umdloti. The Sibaya Coastal Precinct has been designed to encompass a total of seven nodes, which will be phased and developed over the project’s 15 to 20-year lifespan. Already well-established in the Precinct is the Sibaya Casino and Entertainment World which is located in the heart of the Precinct midway. In addition, Nodes 1 and 5 is currently under construction. Included in the Sibaya Precinct Development is Node 6, of which will encompass zones inclusive of residential, commercial and education to mixed-use. The proposed development is situated east of the M4 Highway, north of the M27 road, and directly adjacent to the town of Umdloti (Figure 1). The Sibaya Precinct Node 6 is approximately 173.45 ha (gross area), of which an estimated 112.57 ha will be utilised as developable land. The proposed development will encompass the following uses: • Construction of access roads and road networks (four lane main collector road and several two-lane roads); • Construction of water pipelines with a 700mm diameter bulk water main (reduces to a 500 mm diameter line along the route); • Construction of sewer reticulation to service the residential housing; • Construction of a pipe stormwater reticulation system along the main collector road; • Construction of proposed electrical infrastructure namely: Two 11kV cables and street; • Lighting; and • Construction of a boundary fence.
