Despite resistance from informal housing occupants in the surrounding areas, preparations are underway for refurbishments at Cape Town International Airport.
Airports Company SA and the City of Cape Town signed a memorandum of agreement called the Symphony Way Development Corridor on 13 December 2013., Acsa claimed that this agreement aims to develop the land on the eastern and western sides of Symphony Way, including the Symphony Way Urban Park.
Thea Govindsamy from Acsa reportedly confirmed that a total of 3 200 state-subsidised Breaking New Ground units are planned for construction on the Symphony Way Development Corridor. Govindsamy said Acsa is currently in consultation with the industry and regulating committee and will provide more detail on the project timelines of major capacity projects in the next three months.
‘A key measurable benefit of our infrastructure development is to ensure job creation. This is a key measurable outcome in Acsa’s strategic objectives and outcomes. Acsa is aware of its social responsibility in the promotion and facilitation of skills development, socio-economic development and job creation through the implementation of infrastructure projects,’ Govindsamy explained.
He added that the airport’s expansion will involve the construction of a new realigned runway, the refurbishment of the domestic arrivals terminal and the expansion of the international terminal. This growth is expected to contribute significantly to the local economy and the City’s enterprise and investment department is working closely with the airport to maximise the benefits for local contractors and communities.
