The Team’s Brief To prepare a number of framework plans for the TRUP site with the objective of obtaining development rights for precincts and special release areas identified in the ToR. To follow a Package of Plans Approach in terms of Section 136 of the Cape Town Municipal By-law, A PoP allows the sequencing of integrated planning at increasingly detailed scales and applies to areas generally known as Special Areas. The Team will commence with a review of the CoCT approved 2003 TRUP Contextual Framework and Phase 1 Environmental Management Plan, then prepare a Development Framework, Precinct Plans and Site Development Plans as part of an application for rezoning.

Key objectives of the Brief To promote inclusivity and integration To encourage sustainable development from an environmental, economic and social perspective To encourage partnerships to make public land viable so as to improve under-performing properties To explore the notion of live-work-play through high-density, transit oriented, walkable and mixed use / income environments

A green corridor should be defined and a multi-purpose environmental space created that can support learning. They are happy that environmental practitioners are on board. - Friends of the Liesbeeck Public Participation Process / meetings held thus far / extracts The development should fit into other larger development plans for the City. - OCA It is felt that NMT should be promoted; the area should not be built for cars only. -OCA Concerns were raised about the use of “density”; it was felt that density should only be suggested where appropriate/necessary and development should be sensitive to heritage and the wetlands as well as to the legacy of Oude Molen. – Oude Molen Eco Village, TRUP Association Safety is seen as essential. -OCA The wetlands and TRUP is seen as a green lung for the city; this has value to the city as a whole. – TRUP Association & OCA There was a full process of this kind done five years ago. …we want to see big development there; but we are scared that somebody will, in 5 years time, take the group through the same process again.. – Pinelands Rate payers / Resident association.. their father King Fadana had aspired to establish a Xhosa/Nguni museum and cultural village site at Oude Molen. They wish to argue for the realisation of the King's aspirations. – Xhosa / Nguni traditional leaders Langa must not be a tick box and not become part of the actual development that takes place; it must not be a talk shop. Ensure to have 2-3 people at the workshop. – Langa Civic Association

TRUP Public Participation Process Open Questions Media liaison protocol and responsibilities – What is our role in responding to media requests? How much background is useful to provide to the media? How can we use these opportunities for trust building? Weighting of potentially competing development interests on the site – When “maximizing development rights”, how does the client see the prioritization of public interest versus private sector interests for development rights in the TRUP area? TRUP- Association and Oude Molen Tenant situation – Special Meeting called by Alderman Walker on TRUP-A. -Appointment of Property Company in process Engagement with CoCT and WCG line departments in via workshop prior or after public workshop?
