Flood damage forces resort to shut down for festive
December 01, 2025
|Cape Argus
THE City of Cape Town has confirmed the popular resort and pool in Kogel Bay will be shut down this festive season, following its two-year closure due to extensive flood damage which cost over R1.5 million.
The closure will allow authorities to focus on restoring basic services such as water and sanitation.
During the 2023 storm season, initially, 154 roads, including parts of the N1 and N2, were closed. Due to the Western Cape Department of Infrastructure (DOI) work, this number is now down to 37. Progress is being made on key routes.
Following the storm, the resort saw damage to its water supply system, infrastructure, sewer system issues including its solar panels, electricity and roofs of the ablution facilities.
At the time, the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning issued over 100 emergency environmental approvals in less than two weeks to expedite repairs like damaged river crossings.
