Upper Cable Station

Lower Cable Station

Kloof Nek Signal Hill

Lion Battery Strand St. Quarry 4 THE CHALLENGE

• 800 000 visitors p.a. to Table Mountain

• 200 000 visitors p.a. to Signal Hill

• Congested access and parking

• Low level of visitor facilities

• Crime and grime • Multiple authorities responsible (SANParks, City, DPW, SANavy)

Table Mountain 5 National Park THE OPPORTUNITY • New visitor access system to get from City to Signal Hill and Table Mnt. • Upgrade existing and potential visitor sites (Strand St Quarry, Lion Battery, Signal Hill, Kloof Nek) • Improve visitor experience and safety

• Authorities partnership initiative

• PPP opportunity

• Potential income generation

29 OVERALL PROCESS (page 46, point 5)

Phase one: undertake a feasibility study and risk assessment to determine the technical viability and identify the associated risks of a proposal.

Phase two: preparation of detailed precinct plans for the affected visitor sites and to determine the final „people mover‟ type, route and stations.

Phase three: outsourcing and implementation of the project as a Public Private Partnership subject to all applicable regulatory approvals (environmental, heritage, land use, building plan etc). 30

STUDY AIM and OBJECTIVES (page 44, point 1) Overall Aim: “To undertake a Technical Feasibility Study and Risk Assessment of the proposal to establish a mechanical „people mover‟ from the Strand Street Quarry site to Signal Hill via Lion Battery”.

Objectives: • Determine a preferred „people mover‟ type. • Determine a preferred „people mover‟ route. • Identify optimal station locations. • Financial feasibility. • Projected number of visitors. 31 APPROACH (page 44, point 2)

• Technical engineering investigation of „people mover‟ type, route station locations.

• Assessment of options, risks, benefits in relation to environmental, heritage, legal institutional issues.

• Economic evaluation / cost benefit analysis to test sustainability of options.
