The land include vast hectares of undevelopable land parcels such as open space and drainage systems and is scattered across the EMM area as no spatial criteria was applied in the identification process. – Phase 2: Assessment of existing housing programmes represent the current commitment of the EMM human settlement department and involves in situ upgrades hence aligns with the footprint of original settlements. This phase also included the land parcels identified for future projects. Most of these parcels comply with the broad footprint of the ESDF, especially along the rail and road corridors. Current projects = 8 353ha, potential projects = 4 601ha – Phase 3: Supplementary MSDF land audit including privately owned land parcels, predominantly located within the mining belt and within the SDF footprint = 6 398 13 Strategic Overview (1) Land needs – Phase 4: Consolidated EMM vla and SDF land audit, totalling 11 353 (phase 1 and 3 combined) – Phase 5: Ranking of phase 4 vacant land in terms of SDF alignment and zoning revealed that 5 702 (50% ) of the land falls outside the SDF footprint. After applying the zoning, a total of 3 094 remained as suitable for residential development. This land still needs to be subjected to feasibility studies, which is likely to eliminate more land parcels. – Phase 6: evaluation and ranking of prioritised vacant land in terms of cost of services through a modelling exercise. This was done by the project team currently working on the GDS and it assessed access to both social and engineering services. Land parcels were classified from category A to E, the latter being the most expensive to service. 14 Strategic Overview (2) Spatial analysis Strategic Key development imperatives Directive Gauteng Location: Develop viable human settlements in well Sustainable located land close to economic nodes and hubs of our Human towns and cities Settlement Mix use developments: Promote quality mix housing Strategy products for mixed income groups as a means of fostering (GSHSS) racially inclusive settlements Bulk infrastructure: Intensify human settlement development in locations with existing bulk infrastructure and existing spare capacity to lower engineering infrastructure costs of developments Social facilities: prioritising access to social facilities for beneficiaries Optimising growth potential of former township areas 15 Strategic Overview (2) Spatial analysis Strategic Key Development imperatives Directive EMM Spatial Infill development on vacant land located close to CBDs, industrial areas, bus Development and taxi routes and railway stations. Social housing should be provided on Framework developable vacant land close to the EMM CBDs Developing PDA’s into sustainable “CBD’s”/ neighbourhoods in their owned right. Directing growth of the PDAs to the Ekurhuleni Core Node. Outward sprawl of the PDAs should be curtailed as this is mostly leading to the further polarisation of the disadvantaged community. EMM GDS 2025 Housing infilling and densification should be prioritized; Housing provision need to be integrated with engineering and social services provision in order to enhance sustainability. A functioning property market need to be created through the development of mixed income human settlements; and A range of alternative housing typologies and tenure options need to be provided. EMM GDS 2055 The two key spatial restructuring elements emanating from the draft GDS 2055 are (1) the East - West link that follows the Main Reef spine in the former mining belt and the (2) North South Link that incorporates the areas of Tembisa, Kempton Park and the Southern parts of the Gauteng City Region 16 Spatial Concept Tembisa • Hierachy of Nodes. • Aerotropolis, Core Triangle as Primary Activity Nodes. Kempton Park • Linking Primary Activity Daveyton Etwatwa OR Tambo Edenvale Nodes and Secondary Benoni Activity Nodes.
