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, 2015. 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

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
