Introduction
The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements' (GDHS) mandate is to ensure the
provision of Integrated Sustainable Human Settlements within a smart Gauteng City
Region. The Department’s vision is aligned to the strategic paradigm shift away from
sporadic and uncoordinated developments to purposely planned and developed
“Mega Cities” that are completely self-sufficient in providing for the housing, economic
and social needs of the community.
As the Department rolls out the Mega Cities programme which focuses on building
new cities of the future which will radically transform how human settlements are
delivered across all the corridors of Gauteng, there is a need to form key partnerships
to ensure proper planning and provision of all required infrastructure services such as
water, sanitation, electricity, energy, roads and social amenities.
This is a move away from one project delivery approach to a more clustered method –
in order to maximise output in the provision of decent houses and impact on the
eradication of informal settlements. The new cities will promote social, racial,
economic and cultural integration. Additionally, the concept of Mega Cities reinforces
the key principles and considerations of spatial reconfiguration, township economy
revitalisation and massive infrastructure investment as a means of transforming
settlements and cities into productive cities that are inclusive, sustainable and founded
on principles of good governance.
Mega Cities are in line with the fifth administration of government as pronounced by
Gauteng Premier, David Makhura’s pronouncement during the 2014 State of the
Province address. All the new cities will have major socio-economic benefits with
regard to decent employment and economic inclusion.
The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements will roll out a number of the Mega
Cities Programme in this financial year. These new post-Apartheid cities will be rolled
out in phased stages in the identified five (5) mega city corridors. These developmental
corridors are categories into Northern, Eastern, Western, Southern and Central.
Through the Mega Cities programme in the five corridors, the Gauteng Department of
Human Settlements targets to build 520 000 housing units allocated into 140 000
housing units in the Central Corridor; more than 100 000 in the Eastern Corridor; more
than 160 000 units each in the Northern and the Western Corridors and more than 120
000 units in the Southern Corridor by the end of the current term in 2019.
4
This move of the Gauteng Provincial Government towards radical housing delivery
management seeks to change the current inefficient model to projects that yield less
than 15000 units per project, either as an existing development cluster or as a new
nodal development. It is envisaged that the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG), in
partnership with the key stakeholders, will be successful in transforming and growing
the economy. It is the collective view of the leadership in GPG that strong partnerships
with the private sector, labour and the rest of society will help in the government’s
efforts to deliver on this vision. Going forward, the GPG will work hard to consolidate
and further enhance the important role played by cities as engines for economic
growth, employment, innovation and invention.

Detailed Project
Description
The Durban Roodepoort Deep Mining Company (DRD) developed a gold mine on
certain portions of the Farm Roodepoort 237IQ. They proceeded to build a town
on the northern part of the property adjacent to Randfontein Road/Main Reef
Road.
In 2003 the mine ceased all production, closed the mine down and started to
vacate the town.
In 2005 Dino Properties (Pty) Ltd bought the land from DRD Gold but due to a
counter claim from an aggrieved party which lead to a very lengthy legal battle,
the property was only transferred and registered in the name of Dino Properties
in 2012. The objectives of the owners of Dino was to create and establish a fully
integrated mixed-income residential township complete with all amenities
required to make it a fully self-contained town.
Currently the whole township is known as Goudrand Ext 4 and it will be
subdivided into 15 different phases to be known as Goudrand Ext 5 to 19. The
proposed Goudrand Ext 4 development is an integrated development consisting
of 13 000 plus potential housing opportunities.
The first phase of the development is a mixed use project comprising of 13 197
housing opportunities in a mix of 1 204 Residential 1 bonded units, 1 325
Residential 1 FLISP units, 10 668 Residential 3 units, 5 educational sites, 3
shopping centre sites, and 7 crèche sites, 8 worship sites, a hospital site, a
cemetery and municipal sites.
The housing units will have mixed ownership. Ownership will be funded by
major financial institutions and they have already approved the project.
The proposed units will comply with the current norms and standards of the
Gauteng Department of Human Settlements. The FLISP houses will be freehold
houses and 3-Storey walk-up sectional title units while the BNG units will be
built as duplex units consisting of a living/kitchen area and bathroom on ground
floor and two bedrooms upstairs and single units in 3-storey blocks.

Site Inspection /
Description
Helderwyk is located just South of the Carnival City primary economic node,
within the urban edge of the Ekurhuleni Spatial Development Framework. The
SDF supports the site for development and the area is earmarked by the
Municipality for residential and other development. The site has excellent
access to major routes, including the N17, R554 and R23.
21
The Brakpan and Boksburg CBDs are within a short distance and can be reached
with relative ease. Development along the R554 axis has been ongoing for
many years and the expansion of Brakpan and Boksburg southward is an
expected evolution. The site is well placed to benefit from its proximity to major
roads and being relatively close to both CBD’s.
Number of Units 12 954 housing units
Proximity to
economic centres
and amenities
The Mega Project is located within the Provincial Eastern development corridor
which encompasses and prioritises the economy of the East Rand district and
the creation of new industries and new economic nodes within the corridor.
Interventions, such as the Mega Project, which aim to spatially reconfigure,
revitalise and stimulate area economies and attract investment in infrastructure
have been prioritised under the recent development corridors’ profiling
exercises.
The development site is furthermore situated within close proximity to the
Carnival City Node. The Carnival City Node straddles two major east-west road
links, the N17 highway and the R554 North Boundary/Elberg/Springs Road, and
a major north-south road, the R23 Heidelberg Road. A secondary road system
has been proposed linking to these major roads, including a widened Van Dyk
Street linking northwards across the N17 to Dalpark, and a new north-south
bridge connecting Carnival City to the Mall Precinct.
It is envisaged by the RSDF (2015) that the R554 and R23 will in future be
earmarked as Bus Rapid Transit routes, with a number of stations positioned at
500 metre intervals. These stations will become the hubs of a non-motorised
transport network linking across the node between the various precincts and
beyond into the surrounding residential neighbourhoods of Van Dyk Park,
Helderwyk, Dalpark and Sonneveld.
The Carnival City Node already includes two existing precincts, located on either
side of the N17:
The Mall precinct, located north of the N17 highway (Region D), is home to the
72 000m2 Mall@Carnival regional shopping centre. The mall is home to more
than 200 shops and attracts an estimated 800 000 visitors a month. A proposed
extension to Rangeview Street will connect the precinct southwards to rest of
the node via a new bridge across the N17;
The Carnival City precinct is home to the Carnival City Casino and Entertainment
World. The development includes a casino, shops, bars and restaurants,
entertainment venues and two hotels. A new commercial sub-precinct, located
along the southern boundary bordering onto the R554 Elsburg Road is
proposed.
22
Potential number of
jobs created
Preliminary estimates indicate that during the Construction Phase around than
R8.2 billion could flow into the local area as a result of the development and
that more than 13 800 jobs may be created in the process.
The above impacts will occur over the duration of Construction Phase of the
development (in the region of 10 years. Significant permanent employment will
also be created in the Operational Phase of the development. Through the
operation of the development, sustained annual expenditure will create
significant new business sales and additional GGP (estimated to potentially be
more than R11.9 billion), creating sustained employment opportunities of
around 11 900 jobs.

and liveability, a balance will be struck in order to meet the end-user needs in
the light of all project constraints. In order to make the best possible use of the
proposed sites, the residential building types will include a mix of 2 four-storey
options, as well as 2 RDP typologies for the housing. They have been arranged
to relate to each other in such a way that their different scales create harmony,
and integrate well with the existing framework around the site.
There is a current trend of moving away from 3-bedroomed units in favour of 2-
bedroomed units, each having an area of 40square metres. The final typologies
will however be confirmed once beneficiary needs have been established.
In as far as the urban environment, the town planning scheme has indicated the
need and the inclusion of various public facilities and other amenities with
24
emphasis on non-motorised transport throughout the development. It is
anticipated that there will be a mix of visitors and residents, and dynamic
movements of people throughout the area during the course of the day, week,
and over weekends.
Environmental sustainability is an aspect with underlying importance, and in this
project, various systems that contribute to that will be promoted at macro or
micro level with wetland areas in the middle of the proposed scheme adding yet
another interesting element.
Number of Units 10 265 housing units

and has transferred the rights to carry out the wishes of KCA to IP.
Detailed Project
Description
The land is currently known as Portions 1, 2 and the Remainder of the Farm
Rietfontein 278 IR. The land parcel is located approximately 15km south east of
Springs along the R29 Leandra/Springs road, opposite the Kwazenzele township
and informal settlement on a Greenfield site. The site has both the electrical and
water pipeline servitudes. There is also a sewer pump station and a quarry on
the site.

if required for the rest of the development
Number of Units A total of 1 794 housing units (1 349 units in the first three years)
Location Analysis Land Survey
The SG Diagram No. 4014/2016 is in place.
Geotechnical
A geotechnical investigation conducted in Kwazenzele by Intraconsult CC
revealed the presence of dolomite in the vicinity of the project. According to the
geotechnical report, the area designated for development is located in an area
declared dolomitic. The findings of the report support the type of development
to be undertaken in Kwazenzele Phase 2, provided all recommendations stated
in the report and the necessary precautionary measures stated in the PW344 –
Appropriate Development of Infrastructure on Dolomite – Manual for
Consultants (September 2010), and SANS 1936, Parts 1 to 4: 2012 –
27
Development of Dolomitic Land will be strictly followed to ensure success of the
project.
Traffic infrastructure
Traffic impact of the development is negligible and the surrounding
(provincial) road infrastructure is of adequate capacity;
Save for the two intersections, no external road upgrading are
required;
Cognisance should be taken of provincial road planning (the future
K134 and D1133 being a class 3 road), and the township layout should
be adjusted to accommodate these; and
Special care should be taken to provide adequate public transport
facilities.

9. Lanseria Airport City
The Mega Project for Integrated Residential Development at Lanseria Airport City is designed to be a high-density mixed-use residential area of an urban plan in layout, infrastructure and economy that is centred on the airport. It is designed to promote a new city form of cross-cultural living. Site Location Lanseria falls within Region A of the city of Johannesburg Metropolitan
Municipality. Region A is the northern gateway to the city, combining the best of
urban and rural living.
Lanseria International Airport is located 20km north-west of Sandton, in an
urban fringe to the north-west of the recently upgraded N14 National Highway.
The K29 (Malibongwe Drive) is the main vehicular access route to the airport.
Direct access is also obtained via the K31 along the north. Other existing and
proposed national routes will provide additional access into the airport region,
with key routes having already been identified as primary connectors to and
from the Gauteng province, Rustenburg and Brits areas.
Detailed Project
Description
The Mega Project for Integrated Residential Development at Lanseria Airport
City is designed to be a high-density mixed-use residential area of an urban plan
in layout, infrastructure and economy that is centred on the airport. It is
designed to promote a new city form of cross-cultural living.
The existing Lanseria International Airport will anchor the success of the
proposed Lanseria Airport City Mega Project. Crosspoint, in partnership with the
Public Investment Corporation (PIC) will develop a 90ha land parcel into a
mixed-use commercial precinct – the Lanseria Business District.
Further development of the airport region requires government support to
secure the installation of key bulk infrastructure including sewer and water,
electricity, roads and public transportation.
Crosspoint, in cooperation with the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements
will implement the Lanseria Airport City Mega Project phased over a ten-year
period. The initial development comprises approximately 5 088 277m² of
commercial floor space and 50 000 residential units. The project will be
developed in: Precinct 1 and Precinct 2.

Proximity to
economic centres
and amenities
The area still has plenty of developmental opportunities to offer investors and is
home to Lanseria International Airport, which is on the rise. With easy access to
the inner city, the West Rand, Pretoria central business district and Ekurhuleni,
Region A is ideally placed for metropolitan economic development.
Another key component towards the overall sustainability and efficiency of the
Lanseria Airport City development is the extension of the Gautrain to be
integrated with the public transportation system within the province:
The Gautrain Management Agency is planning to extend the rail route by 150
kilometres over the next twenty years. Speaking to journalists at a press event
on Wednesday (1 March, 2017), Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Dr Ismail
Vadi said that the proposed new line starts from Mamelodi – Irene – linking to
the old network, and branching off from Sandton to Randburg, Cosmo City, the
Cradle of Human Kind, Lanseria.
Potential number of
jobs created
Lanseria International Airport demonstrates key characteristics that not only
provide an opportunity to supplement and enhance the provision of major
aeronautical infrastructure in the Gauteng province, but also offer the additional
opportunity to stimulate and activate economic growth within the surrounding
area – the opportunity to create a fully-fledged airport city.

10. Leratong City
The development is a mixed use integrated project to be known as Leratong City, and will include a regional mall, transport hub and light industrial hub. Land Description Land parcels are owned by Trendville Investments (Pty) Ltd. This vacant site is
located centrally between Krugersdorp, Kagiso, Randfontein, Soweto, and
Roodepoort, and the topography is relatively flat, thus making access to the site
relatively easy.
Detailed Project
Description
The project is aimed at transforming a disadvantaged former mining area into a
more vibrant community where housing, shops, schools, and places of work are
integrated in a single, mixed-use neighbourhood. A wide range of quality, well-
priced residential products will be offered to a range of income earners.
Situated across the road from the existing Leratong Hospital, the proposed
project will consist of 15 000 residential units (spread over the proposed Kagiso
Extensions 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26), an intermodal transport
hub, a government precinct, as well as a 30 000 m2 regional mall. The total
development extends over 400 ha.
Randfontein Road (R41) and Adcock Road (R558) will provide access to the site.
The project is located on two major regional movement routes that form part of
the primary movement network of Gauteng Province. The Leratong City project
has been selected as an area for Neighbourhood Development Partnership
Grant (NDPG) investment. It forms an integral part of a larger regional node set
in the context of a previously disadvantage township area, which has the
potential to transform into a high intensity regional node.
The development will focus on quality walk-ups with a secure attractive living
environment. It will capitalise on the location and become a trendsetter in a
very large residential and commercial development project along the new Main
Reef Corridor.
The development will be undertaken in two phases, with a total housing output
of approximately 15 000 units. The first phase comprises of approximately 3 200
housing units. Apart from the 3 200 housing opportunities in the first phase the
development will also include the following amenities:
Educational – 3 erven (1.9 ha in total)
Business – 7 erven (7.6 ha in total)
Public Open Space – 4 erven (1.1 ha in total)
34
Current status
No agreements in place
Phase one ready for commencement with the installation of bulk
services, provided R81 million funding is made available for bulk.
SDP and building plans can only be submitted for approval once the
bulk services are in place
Rezoning required for the remainder of the phases
Bulk funding required for the remainder of the phases
Number of Units 15 000 housing units (first phase 3 200)
Proximity to
economic centres
and amenities
A major benefit of this development lies in its location. Positioned across the
road from the regional Leratong Hospital and at the intersection of major roads
linking Mogale City, Soweto, Randfontein, Merafong, Roodepoort, Florida and
Johannesburg, Leratong allows generous access to these business nodes.
Potential number of
jobs created
The implementation of this project will stimulate the local economy through the
participation of the local community in the different phases of the project.

Key Economic Indicators of the Boksburg Sub-Economy
We have used the economic indicators of the area as the basis for current
Residential and Commercial demand. These indicators also serve as drivers for
future growth and demand. Below we highlight the main indicators for the
market area.
High density residential – 80du/ha – 200du/ha, between 8750 and 21
876 units
Industrial component proposed east of the K133
Work opportunities through informal trading areas, non-residential
uses in the residential blocks, business sites, educational node and
community centre
Shared facilities encouraged at schools - shared sport fields, a social
hall, library and computer centre
Crèches, churches and adult learning centres to be developed in the
same facilities. Community garden projects
Great emphasis must be placed on the design and layout of the
residential units to create sustainable and safe environments
Mixed use buildings encouraged to support enterprises such as hair
salons, limited retail, laundromats and play areas
Management of buildings is crucial - institutions with ample experience
must be contracted to make sure that the maintenance are done,
people pay their levies and the blocks remain a safe and enjoyable
haven for residents.
Development
Potential
The Tambo Springs Inland Port, near townships such as Vosloorus, Magagula
Heights and Katlehong, would focus on manufacturing, transport and logistics. It
will create a competitive working environment attracting foreign direct
investment and creating about 50 000 new decent full-time jobs for the
surrounding community. The port would link Gauteng with the other ports in
KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape and Eastern Cape and serve existing industrial
areas. (Gauteng online, February 2011)

Phase 1:
The land condition is barren and degraded agricultural land surrounded by
mines dump on both South West and North Eastern portion.
Phase 2:
The land condition is barren and degraded agricultural land surrounded by
mines dump on both South West and North Eastern portion.
Detailed Project
Description
With informal settlements at various parts within the Rand West City Local
Municipality, and a housing shortage that is estimated at some 25 000 units, this
project will be a modernised development of a Smart City. The development will
include residential housing (including affordable housing, low cost housing and
upper market residential housing), retail, filling station, education facilities,
medical facilities, a community centre, an early learning facility/crèche and
religious facility, commercial and industrial development both light and heavy
industries.
The Project comprises the Development which relates to the use of the whole of
the Land for establishment of Internal and External Services and the
construction of 13 792 new housing units on the basis of mixed use
development, the approximate mix of which will be in the following categories:
39
Residential (Phase 1)
RDP and BNG 1609
FLISP/Bonded Houses 1225
Community Rental 680
Military Veterans 174
Social Housing 1915

Integrated retail development:
Retail development
PRASA station precinct
Private hospital
Filling stations
College
Office parks
Public amenities
Schools
Open parks
Health facilities
Current status
The project has sufficient water and sewer capacity for the entire project.
However only 2 500 units can be delivered on phase 1 due to electricity bulk
constraints. The Services Level Agreement has been submitted to Rand West for
consideration. The Service level agreement is still outstanding as the project
requires bulk funding of approximately R530 million.
Way forward
The signing of the subsidy and turnkey development agreements between GHS
and Montrose is priority as the project has been budgeted for in the 2017 / 2018
APP business plan.
The issues of bulk capacity and township establishment must also be prioritised
at the Randfontein Council.
40
The payment of the land of approximately R130 million requires further clarity
from the developer because the project will not be sustainable should the land
owner requires an upfront payment for the land. The project requires either an
equity injection to pay for the land or a payment for each parcel of land that is
transferred.
Number of Units 13 792 new housing units:
First phase 5 602
Second phase 8 190
Location Analysis The land is situated in Randfontein area and it is less than 10 km to the
Randfontein existing CBD. It is under the newly merged Rand West City Local
Municipality. It is in the following proximity of the existing mines; Harmony gold,
Sibanye gold, Mintails South Africa and Goldfileds.
The development proposal includes the revival of the old Middelvlei station
which will be linked to the newly designed integrated transport system of the
Montrose City Mega Development and the surrounding arrears including
Mohlakeng and Finsbury.
The railway line currently links Randfontein, Westonaria, Carletonville and this
will be an advantage to the communities as rail transportation system is the
cheapest mode of transport.
Proximity to
economic centres
and amenities
A major benefit of this development lies in its location. Given its location within
the gold mining belt, the proposed township will bring people close to
employment and business opportunities. It is positioned across the road from
the regional Leratong Hospital and at the intersection of major roads linking
Mogale City, Soweto, Randfontein, Merafong, Roodepoort, Florida and
Johannesburg, Leratong allows generous access to these business nodes.

City Mega Project Team.
Detailed Project
Description
The town of Bronkhorstspruit is situated approximately 50 kilometers east of Pretoria
along the N4 national highway. This relatively small town is located within the
Gauteng province where it borders with the Mpumalanga province and therefore
possesses high development potential owing to its central location.
Bronkhorstspruit was formerly administered by the Kungwini Local Municipality (KLM)
of the Metsweding district until 2010/2011 when the municipalities were absorbed by
the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CoTMM).
The proposed housing development will be among the largest residential undertaking
of its kind in the history of Bronkhorstspruit. The housing development will have
precincts with different architectural themes which will be fenced-off separately and
have their own entrance and exit and electronically controlled gates. Within each
precinct, there will be several blocks of apartments with biometric access control for
residents.
The estimated cost of the development is R4.05 billion, to be expended over an
estimated period of 5 years. The project is a fully integrated development that will
offer living, work and play opportunities within a secure environment over a total area
of approximately 400 hectares. Other products offered will be social amenities such as
schools, churches, business and commercial opportunities. The benefits of the
development include amongst others, urban renewal, creation of employment
opportunities and the upgrade of infrastructure. Government interventions will
render the execution of the development more viable through the various grants that
are offered by the department of Human Settlements and its agencies.
The Park City development takes into account the parameters established by City of
Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CoTMM).
The proposed residential development includes the following:
Free Standing Units (FSU) Housing Scheme
Social Housing Scheme
Community Rental Units
BNG Housing
Open Market Affordable Rental Units (OMARU)
47
Typology Number of Units
Social Housing Units 3200
Open Market Housing Units (Affordable) 600
Breaking New Ground Units (BNG) 2200

Community Rental Units (CRU) 1000
Open Market Affordable Rental units 3000
In addition to:
Educational Facility
The developers will partner with education providers such as Curro
Holdings and Summit Education to establish a low-fee paying
independent school. The final fee structure of the school will be advised
once the construction schedules have been concluded.
Business Facilities
The developers will partner with other developers to establish business
facilities in the development to encourage commercial activity in the
township precinct. The nature of the business activity in the
development will be dictated by the needs of the community in
conjunction with the Municipal requirements. There has been 20.2
hectares set aside for business use which will include retail facilities and
other business amenities.
Industrial Facilities
In addition to above, the developers will partner with other developers to
utilise the portion set aside for Industrial developments to establish an
Industrial zone within the township to promote job creation and commercial
activity. The nature of the industrial activity to be undertaken in the
development will be dictated by appropriate commercial activity in the area in
conjunction with the Municipal requirements.
Institutional Facilities

Mixed use development which will accommodate approximately 12 300 families and an estimated population of 50 000 people, as well as a wide range of supplementary services and facilities. Land Description The study area – Portion 1 of the Farm Tswaing 149 JR is registered to the
Republic of South Africa via title deed number R 75646/1996 and comprises
approximately 415 hectares of land.
The site is partially developed, comprising New Eersterust X8 to the north-west
and portions of X9 to the south thereof.
The Study Area is situated in the northern section of Region 2 of the City of
Tshwane (CoT). To the south it is bordered by Soshanguve, and to the east by
New Eersterust (Stinkwater). The Tswaing Crater and surrounding nature
reserve borders the study area to the west.
Detailed Project
Description
The project comprises the development of a mixed use town which will
accommodate approximately 12 300 families and an estimated population of 50
000 people. The primary aim is to serve their social and economic needs of
residents in a sustainable manner by offering a wide range of supplementary
services and facilities in the area.
The development will consist of seven township extensions (Tswaing X9, X10A
and B, and X11A, B, C and D) which will be rolled-out over six consecutive years
from 2017 up to 2023. (Extension 8 already exists).
An incremental approach will be followed by developing the respective
extensions in a sequence which will allow for the gradual expansion of
engineering services.
The Land Use Budget for the area shows the following projected land use
composition for the township once fully developed:
10 735 Residential erven (some sectional title)
27 Business erven comprising about 7 hectares of land (4 larger
business erven are located at the main entrances to the town
comprising about 0,84 ha, 0,85 ha, 0,6 ha and 1,34 ha respectively)
21 Church sites
19 Sites for community facilities e.g. clinics, community halls etc.
5 Primary schools
4 Secondary schools
Number of Units The Tswaing township will eventually comprise 10 735 residential erven and 12
334 residential units. The residential units (top structures) will be developed
54
through the Mixed Housing Development Programme and will yield a total of
8634 fully subsidised Breaking New Ground (BNG) units; about 2469 FLISP
funded units; and 1231 rental units funded through the Community Residential
Units (CRU) programme.
The total yield for 2017/18 will be 470 units; followed by 1231 units in 2018/19;
1374 units in 2019/20; 3876 units in 2020/21; about 4335 units during the
2021/22 financial year; and a final 1048 units during 2022/23.
Proximity to
economic centres
and amenities
The study area is located between two Urban Core areas in the context of the City of
Tshwane namely Mabopane/Soshanguve and Temba/Hammanskraal. Mabopane
Intermodal Hub holds about 14 000 job opportunities and is located about 7
kilometres to the south. The Temba/ Hammanskraal/Babelegi Node offers about 22
000 job opportunities and is located about 16 kilometres to the east. Further to the
south is the Rosslyn/ Klerksoord node (43 500 job opportunities) as well as
GaRankuwa which holds an estimated 12 400 jobs. The study area is also close to
the Tshwane Zone of Choice to the south which, amongst others, holds the
Wonderboom/ Montana Activity Area (24 000 jobs), the Rainbow Junction Activity
Node (17 000 jobs) and Wonderpark (5600 jobs). This brings the total number of
jobs offered in surrounding areas to an estimated 138 500. This region also holds an
estimated population of about 711 000 people.
The main land use features in the precinct surrounding the study area can be
summarised as follow:
A protected natural environment along the western boundary of the
study area known as the Tswaing Crater and Nature Reserve. A
museum is located opposite one of the approved entrances to New
Eersterust X 8 along route M 35 (Soutpan Road).
The Soshanguve residential area borders the site to the south and
consists of a well-established residential area with ancillary uses.
Supporting land uses include schools, clinics and business stands.
The site is bordered to the east by the New Eersterust (Stinkwater)
settlement, earmarked for in-situ upgrade.
The immediate surrounding area has very limited business activity.
There are a few relatively small and dilapidated business buildings
along Soutpan Road, including a neglected filling station.
A large number of community facilities are located in the urban fabric
around the study area as shown on Figure 5. A total number of 55
schools are located in the Soshanguve HH, V, W, S and New Eersterust
Extensions. Furthermore, New Eersterust X 8 and 9 provides for two
primary and two secondary schools in the proposed layouts.
With regards to health services, 4 clinics are located in close proximity
to the study area.
The regional offices of the Department of Health and Social
Development is situated about 1 kilometre to the south at the
intersection between Lucas Mangope Road and Soutpan Road while
55
two cemeteries are situated to the north-east of the Study Area. It
should be noted that 8 sites have been reserved for community
facilities in New Eersterust X 8 and 9.
The area is primarily served by route M35 (Soutpan Road/K95) which
stretches from the Onderstepoort area in the south towards
Soshanguve in the north. From here it extends past the study area into
the Moretele Local Municipality. It passes along the western border of
the study.
Route M21 (Lucas Mangope Road/ K212) with links Ga-Rankuwa to
Mabopane and Soshanguve runs past the study area about 1 kilometre
to the south from where it links up to Temba-Hammanskraal.
The future PWV 9 Freeway will run along the eastern boundary of the
site, passing between New Eersterust and the study area. The proposed
route is the planned extension of the R80 freeway which currently
terminates at Soshanguve L.
The only operational railway line in close proximity to the study area
links Mabopane with Pretoria Central and continues towards
Germiston/ Soweto. The planned northward extension of this line is
intended to link Mabopane station to Hammanskraal station and will
run along the southern border of the Study Area, with a proposed
future station proposed along the southern border of the Study Area.

Location Analysis The Western Mega Project is located within the Rand West Municipality district,
west of Johannesburg CBD and basically constitutes the southward expansion of
Randfontein along the R28 motorway as well as the westward expansion along
the R41.
The West Rand is currently recognised by its mining activities, agricultural
holdings and industrial activity. The area is fast becoming a sought-after node due
to its affordable house prices and relatively short distance to the Johannesburg
city centre.
Proximity to
economic centres
and amenities
Mohlakeng, Wheatlands, Phomolong and Bundu Inn are all in close proximity of
Randfontein- about a 5-10km radius of the Randfontein CBD. It falls within
Randfontein local municipality district. Mohlakeng is where the large part of the
population is situated. It has a population of ± 55 000 (stats SA 2011 census).
The different developments are close to several taxi ranks and major public
transport routes. The community is served with Post Offices, Police Stations,
Mohlakeng Medical Centre, Leratong Hospital, Randfontein Private Hospital, and
an all-purpose sport stadium and recreation centre. A large industrial area,
Aureus, serves greater Randfontein and many industries are scattered throughout
the municipal area including the more rural areas. Notable industries, in addition
to those related to mining, include the following: Nola, Tiger Brands, and Aranda.
Other large national companies have their head offices, or main branches, in
Randfontein:
Massyn Moves

Potential number
of jobs created
A project like this will create positive spin-offs in terms of job creation and skills
transfer for at least the construction period of the project. This economic
opportunity must also be structured in such a way that it can establish long-term
sustainable economic growth both in terms of skilled and unskilled labour and
further in terms of the establishment of permanent business and economic
growth opportunities in the area. The proposed development is situated south of
Randfontein, close to various businesses, educational and industrial nodes
providing the area with access to places of employment.
Construction
The construction and building sector is an important avenue for employment
creation because of its employment generating capability and because
government expenditure has a large influence on its expansion or contraction.
There are few other sectors in South Africa that have this kind of employment
impact, particularly in relation to the employment of semi- and unskilled labour.
Professionals
The provision of professional services such as planning, architecture and design,
quantity surveying, project planning and management are part of the construction
industry value chain. Occupations in the consulting engineering sector include
managers, professionals, technicians and associate professionals and clerical
support workers.
Project Owners The project owners / developers are Awande Developments (Pty) Ltd and
