NEIGHBOURS of a proposed high-intensity mixed-use development on a 4.5-hectare property, Erf 2187 at 1 Three Anchor Bay Road, in Green Point, are optimistic about seeing the dormant space used.

Residents from neighbouring suburbs attended an open day at the Biodiversity Showcase Garden Environmental Education (BSG EE) Centre, in Green Point last week.

The public is invited to comment on the draft urban design concept plan for the prime location aimed to incorporate residential opportunities, including affordable housing, retail and office space, and public and community facilities.

The site is bounded by Sea Point Main Road, Helen Suzman Boulevard and Beach Road, and Three Anchor Bay Road.

It houses the Colin Eglin Sea Point public library, Sea Point civic centre and hall, Fives Football Green Point sports club, Glen Green Point sports centre (including the Atlantic Green Point Bowling Club), Pinocchio créche, Beach Rugby South Africa, and the Western Province Bridge Centre for the Western Cape Bridge Union.
