The Blaauwberg Road Corridor - background
Blaauwberg Road was planned in the mid-20th century, laid out in the late 1960’s and was significantly developed with primarily low density suburban residential uses by the late 1980’s. The area followed a car centric development model, with limited consideration of how the settlement interacted with the natural environment and open spaces. In the1980’s, Blaauwberg Road was the northernmost part of the West of Cape Town, a quiet suburban environment on the edge of the City.
In the following 40 years, the urban footprint expanded north to include the new formal suburbs of Parklands, Dunoon, West Beach, Sandown, Big Bay, Sunningdale, Rivergate, Frankendale and more. Informal settlement growth has proliferated within and around Du Noon. In addition, economic uses grew around Montague Gardens, Century City and Killarney gardens. Development is forecast to grow to the North, around the planned extension of Berkshire Boulevard and along the N7.
The 2023 Cape Town Municipal Spatial Development Framework and 2023 Blaauwberg District Plan provide policy guidance in relation to the future development objectives and principles for the area. The LSDF must align with these broader principles.
The Blaauwberg Road Corridor is identified as a high order public transport corridor, which is serviced by a MyCiti Trunk Route. The guidance from these higher order plans is to support a compact urban form. The policy direction focuses on resource efficiency and reducing the carbon emissions of the City, preparing for a more resilient City, and reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.
Blaauwberg Road and surrounds were designed to be car orientated and the surrounding areas have maintained a vehicle mobility focus, due to the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station traffic evacuation requirements. Blaauwberg Road is a significant collector route for traffic travelling south or east to west.
While development has expanded northwards, employment has remained primarily south of the area. Congestion has increased since the 1998 Blaauwberg Road Growth Management policy was drafted. Title deed restrictions intended to maintain a low-density suburban development pattern has made development further north a more attractive prospect, limiting the realisation of Blaauwberg Roads’ development as a corridor, increasing congestion and along with this some local resistance to increasing densities along the corridor as planned in 1998.
The challenges of addressing the historic planning of the area, recognising the extent of change in the surroundings and the shift in policy priorities are the motivations for the review of the Blaauwberg Road Management Strategy and preparation of an LSDF for the study area.
