Summary of Objections

Suggestions

    • Involve the community

    • Maintain the same unit density as surrounding suburbs - reduce the number of units from 5,161 to less than 1,000

    • No multilevel 3-4 storey units be allowed, only single family dwellings be allowed

    • All units to be "full title" and no "council/metro" rental housing

    • No RDP/BNG/GAP units

    • Improve public transportation, The proposed BRT is inadequate, recommend providing the Gautrain

    • All educational facilities to be completed before project starts (phase zero)

    • Don't build another "South Hills", rather uplift Welfare Park, South Hills, Moffat View, Roseacre, etc

    • Conduct a forensic audit of the tender process, as it seems that due diligence and due process was not followed
