Financial modelling for Tafelberg site out for public comment

21 November 2016

Financial modelling has been released for public comment on the viability of social housing for a Sea Point property known as the Tafelberg site.

The Western Cape Government is making the modelling available from today, with notices appearing in print media to this effect. 

Over 8 000 responses were received during the two previous rounds of public comment regarding the potential sale of the Tafelberg site. None of the comments to date have included any financial modelling on the viability of social housing for the site. The Western Cape Cabinet then took a decision to task the Department of Transport and Public Works with preparing a financial model to enable the Cabinet to take a rational decision on the future use of the site  in light of some of the comments received in support of social housing on this site.

Members of the public are encouraged to obtain the proposed financial model and provide comment.

The financial model is contained in a PDF spreadsheet which can be accessed in the following ways:

  1. By downloading it here: https://www.westerncape.gov.za/assets/tafelberg_school_site_proposed_housing_project_-_hight_level_viability.pdf
  2. By emailing a request to John.titus@westerncape.gov.za for the file to be emailed; and
  3. In hard copy from the reception  at No 9, Dorp Street, Cape Town between the hours  of 10am and 3pm from Monday 14 November 2016 to Friday 2 December 2016.
