We are very excited to invite you to comment on our proposed Incentive Overlay Zones (IOZ) The City of Cape Town is proposing a number of amendments to the Municipal Planning By-law that regulates development and land use in the city. One of the key initiatives for making it easier and more cost-effective to develop in Cape Town, is the introduction of an incentive overlay zone (IOZ) for Development Focus Areas in Athlone, Maitland, Parow/Elsies River, Bellville and Diep River. Residents, property owners, and business owners in these areas in particular, are encouraged to comment on the proposed IOZs that are intended to encourage private investment through enhanced development rights. The closing date for comments is 23 September 2024. The relevant documents, maps of the proposed IOZs, and brochures with more information are available on the City’s website, at https://lnkd.in/dXYdRDnx

The latest Talking Transformation Podcast focusing on South Africa's National Spatial Development Framework (NSDF) was released yesterday. The in-depth conversation with Zouna Meades and Rajesh Makan will benefit any built environment professional, particularly SACPLAN registered planners who may need to understand the context and themes of the NSDF to inform their work and may also be looking for CPD opportunities. We discuss linkages to the National Development Plan, the urban and rural landscape context and the Action Areas that frame the NSDF. We also touch on the challenges of aligning the spatial plans of the three spheres of government in South Africa: National, Provincial and municipal. You can find the episode on most podcast platforms and YouTube! See the links below...
