Proposed Salt River Market Social Housing Development
The City of Cape Town rejects the skewed comments made earlier today, 1 November 2018, by former City councillor Brett Herron, who has severely misrepresented the debate within Council on the proposed development at the Salt River Market.
It is important to re-iterate and ensure that there is no misunderstanding regarding the City’s ongoing commitment to theprovision of affordable, well-located housing.
The Salt River Market Council agenda item, which served before Council on 25 October 2018, remains a demonstrable step towards achieving our goal.
The proposed transfer of the land at a discounted value would facilitate the development of the provision of much needed social housing stock within Salt River.*
If approved, the development of the site and ongoing management would be undertaken through a partnership arrangement with a leading social housing institution, in this instance Communicare.
