Boundary of municipal entity to manage Cape Town Stadium to be extended
In March this year, the City’s Council approved the establishment of a municipal entity to manage and operate the Cape Town Stadium on behalf of the City. It is proposed that the boundary be extended to include the management of the entire Green Point Urban Park precinct. Read more below:
The original boundary of the municipal entity was limited to the area immediately surrounding the Cape Town Stadium. The City of Cape Town intends extending the functions of the municipal entity to include the management of the Green Point Urban Park, which was originally envisaged when the municipal entity was first recommended in January 2014. The original 2014 recommendation included the Green Point Urban Park in its analysis and business plan.
The proposed extended boundary will include the Green Point Athletics Track, all the sports fields, the golf course, and the urban park.
All interested and affected parties are able to submit their comments and input on the proposal to extend the functions of the municipal entity from today, 21 July 2017 until 21 August 2017.
‘We have identified the need for an integrated approach for the management of the wider precinct. Therefore we are proposing that the original larger precinct be managed by the municipal entity. As part of our Organisational Development and Transformation Plan, we need to optimise the use of our natural and strategic assets in an integrated manner,’ said the City’s Acting Mayoral Committee Member for Finance, Councillor Stuart Diamond.
