As part of our commitment to building a well-run, opportunity city, the City is proud to announce the launch of a pioneer planning website.
Residents now have access through this single portal to all information and engagement processes relating to planning, building development and urban design.
The new website (planning.capetown.gov.za) offers quick and easy access to useful planning information on the City’s land use management system and zoning scheme. It also contains information on the City’s long-term spatial plans at city-wide, district and local area level and exciting urban projects and initiatives (including upgrading of public spaces and site redevelopments).
“This website is part of the City’s on-going efforts to enhance the quality and availability of information to a broad spectrum of users, including residents, investors, professionals and students. We are working hard to make planning regulations and processes as easy to understand and accessible as possible and this website is an important step in achieving this” says Alderman Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic, Environmental and Spatial Planning.
The website is divided into three broad categories: part one, ‘who we are and what we do’; two, the city’s spatial plans and policy processes; and finally everything you need to know about the City’s land use management system, including a zoning viewer to access detailed information about the zoning of individual properties.
Where possible, contact details of officials are provided in relation to specific projects and processes in order to enhance transparency, accountability and responsiveness to external stakeholders.
