The City of Cape Town’s Urban Planning and Design Department is leading a crucial community meeting on Saturday, 13 May 2023, at the Salt River Community Hall. This initiative invites residents of Woodstock, Salt River, University Estate, and Walmer Estate to actively participate in developing the area’s local spatial development framework (LSDF), or neighborhood plan.
Astron Energy, a South African refinery company, faces criticism following a recent product spill from their Milnerton Refinery that leaked into Table Bay waterways, affecting local birds and wildlife. Environmental groups and community members are frustrated with Astron’s response to the spill, with concerns raised about the fall’s extent and the booms’ effectiveness.
The LSDF (Local Spatial Development Framework) for Woodstock and Salt River is a vital plan that will guide the development and growth of the area. The City of Cape Town is requesting the input and participation of the local community, including residents, businesses, and interested parties, to create a plan that fits the needs and desires of the neighborhood.
