Role of the Outer West Region

Environmental Management Priority Area

Strategic Industrial Expansion

Limited Residential & Commercial ExpansionKey Tourism Destination

Outer West Region

Contains 16.5% of eThekwinis population

(577 700 people) on 34% of land

Contributes 6.6% of eThekwinis GDP

50% of the land is under Tribal Leadership

Contains 50% of Municipal open space area


10/25


11/25

Six local areas

Separated from one another by major

topographical features and major barriers such

as river valleys and main roads.

Each local area has its own character and

opportunities for development and need to be

planned and managed accordingly.

The planning and management of these areas

is aimed at turning these functional districts into

local activity systems which provide a range of

facilities, opportunities and services required by

local residents.

Two of the local planning areas: Inanda Damand Zwelibomvu are entirely traditional authority

areas, while Cato Ridge and Mpumalanga have

some traditional authority land within its

boundaries.

Socio- Economic Informants

CURRENT POPULATION TRENDS

High population in rural areas,

disconnected from Metroopportunities

High risk generated by informal

settlements being in vulnerablelocations, pressure on natural

environment.

High levels of unemployment, low

levels of skills and few existing

employment opportunities

Transport Informants CURRENT TRANSPORTATION TRENDSAND PROPOSALS

N3/M13/R103 provide main east/westlinkages.Access is constrained by topographyresults in lack of alternatives.Main Durban/Johannesburg rail line in thesouth, affected by steep gradients, axleloading and tunnel clearance.

Rail from Western Suburbs to Cato Ridgeused mostly for tourism.N3 highly pressured system due to lack ofalternates. Diminishing capacity to servethe metropolitan area from an economic

point of view.N3 Toll offers challenges.

Poor linkages results in inefficient andinconvenient and costly travel patterns.Providing public transport service isconstrained by topographyHigh levels of congestion in WesternSuburbs due to increased developments

Proposed Movement and Development Corridors

PROPOSED CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT

Industrial Corridor

Eddie Hagen Drive has the potential to be developedas an industrial corridor providing much neededeconomic opportunities for the rural hinterland.

Rural CorridorsSome routes in the rural areas which link rural nodes

together have the potential to be developed as ruralcorridors that support rural activities including artsand crafts and informal trade.

Agriculture CorridorsThis section of the MR385 is predominantly focused onagriculture as the main economic activity. This use

should be maintained, and supported in the short

term.

Urban Service CorridorsMR385 and Old Main Road have the potential to bedeveloped as urban services corridors supporting

mixed use urban development.

Proposed Metro Housing Projects

Large range of existing lifestyle choice(agriculture, suburban)

Significant (approx 8500) middle income

cluster housing units developed in recentyears.

New market trend for apartment blocks/

affordable units in well located spaces along

main roads.

57 000 Metro Housing units proposed for

Outer & Inner West UMzinyathi, Fredville

Lack of social, commercial and community

facilities, exacerbated by lack of

infrastructure, low thresholds.

Development Trends and Spatial Challenges in the Outer West

50%) of the study area is covered by traditional

authorities50%) of the study area is covered by criticalenvironmental assets and servicesUnder performing agricultural areas resulting inpressure for land use change and impacts on foodsecurityLow densities and fragmented settlement pattern

with low thresholds for efficient service deliveryLack of space for service industry in the broaderOuter West area has led to inappropriatedevelopments along the R103 which negativelyimpact on the tourism potential of this routeSteady middle to high income housing demand inWestern Suburbs

Steady office and retail demand in Western

Suburbs.Pressure for conversion of agricultural landAdhoc densification resulting in increased stormwater flows.Poor linkages to areas of opportunity.Increased industrial land demandIncreased pressure on road network

Increased pressure on infrastructure capacity inWestern Suburbs and Cato Ridge.

SDP Progress to Date

2009/10/11 SDPs were approved by Council

Gave in principle support for the SDPs

Supported and mandated the Deputy City Managers (SustainableDevelopment & City Enterprises; Treasury; Procurement andInfrastructure) to

actively pursue and enter into partnerships with other spheres ofgovernment (National and Provincial) and the Private Sector to support thefinancing and the release of Phase 1 Priorities.

to identify and implement a range of funding options, including but notlimited to the application of a development levy.

prepare an Infrastructure Plan and MTEF budget that appropriately

considers Phase 1 Priorities
