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
