Cape Town’s Call to Action: Gordon’s Bay Development Area

by

Cape Town is calling on residents and business owners to help shape the future of the Gordon’s Bay Development Area (GBDA), an underdeveloped and vacant area within the city’s limits. The City is seeking input through public meetings, online submissions, and email comments to collaborate on the Local Spatial Development Framework (LSDF), which guides the city’s decisionmaking on development applications and land usage. City officials are hosting open house meetings to discuss the LSDF, and residents can submit their comments online or via email. This collaborative approach ensures residents’ voices are heard and fosters not just the growth of structures but the development of communities as well.
