City's Big Bay plans challenged

- GENEVIEVE SERRA

THE Community Representation for Blaauwberg (CRB) is protesting against the City of Cape Town's Big Bay Local Spatial Development Framework (LSDF), raising concerns over nuclear safety evacuation plans and its risks.

The CRB claimed the LSDF proposes adding 10000-25000 new residents (low-cost housing opportunities) within the Koeberg Urgent Protective Action Zone (UPZ) without disclosing the Traffic Evacuation Model (TEM) or demonstrating whether the sole evacuation route (R27) can cope.

The City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayco Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Eddie Andrews defends the LSDF as a statutory process, clarifying there is no existing development application for Erf 1117, which proposes approximately 3600 residential units and that the number of 25 000 was inaccurate.

The CRB, along with other community groups, is holding a public demonstration on Saturday, December 6, from 10-11 am, at Erf 1117 (corner of Big Bay Boulevard and R27).

Key Objections raised by CRB:
