INTRODUCTION 1.1 STUDY AREA The Cape Winelands district is situated next to the Cape Metropolitan area and encloses 22 309.47km². It is a landlocked area between two coastal regions, the West Coast and Overberg districts and inland regions, Namakwa (Northern Cape Province) and Central Karoo districts. 6 | P a g e 2019/2024 CAPE WINELANDS DISTRICT SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 1.2 STRATEGIC CONTEXT The Cape Winelands Spatial Development Framework identifies eighteen (18) key focus areas for intervention that are spread across four chapters (refer to table 1 below); Chapters: Key Focus areas: A. DEMOGRAPHICS AND BUILT 1. Population growth & migration ENVIRONMENT: 2. Hierarchy of towns 3. Growth potential of towns 4. Municipal services financial model 5. Integrated district public transport network 6. Cultural landscapes: Sense of place 7. Water infrastructure 8. Energy & telecommunications infrastructure 9. Solid waste disposal 10. Disaster management B. DISRTICT SPACE ECONOMY: 11. Economic growth sectors 12. Municipal space economy linkages 13. Agri parks C. BIODIVERSITY & ECOSYSTEMS: 14. Biodiversity SERVICES 15. Ecosystem services 16. Invasive alien species 17. Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve D. CLIMATE CHANGE: 18. Rain and temperature The key focus areas were chose based on the functions of the Cape Winelands District Municipality in terms of Section 84 (1) of the Municipal Structures Act (117 of 1998), assigned functions i.e. Disaster Management and relevant issues and concerns that have an impact on the Cape Winelands District and broader Cape Metropolitan Functional Region landscape. Cognisance is also given to the structural deficiencies that was highlighted by the Greater Cape Metro Regional Spatial Implementation Framework (GCM RSIF) which are; • Pervasiveness of socio-spatial segregation, • Sprawling and low-density multi-nodal network of settlements, • Mismatches between where people live and work, 7 | P a g e 2019/2024 CAPE WINELANDS DISTRICT SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK • Isolated concentrations of poverty severed from economic opportunities, and • Underinvestment in public transport and freight infrastructure, making the region inaccessible to most residents and inefficient for business to operate in. These challenges must be addressed, although site specific and at a lower scale than the CWDM SDF’s strategic focus, strategies will none the less be proposed to deal with these structural deficiencies that are evident throughout the CWDM.

Groundwater Assessment. Prepared by G Papini of Groundwater Consulting Services as part of the Breede River Basin Study. DWAF Report No. PH 00/00/2502. BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objectives of this study were to assess the significance and distribution of groundwater resources in the Breede River catchment, estimate the amount of abstraction and degree of stress it may be causing and to indicate the scope for further development of groundwater resources. This was achieved by a review of all available literature and obtaining yields and quantities from all significant schemes. The characterisation of important aquifers and assessment of the groundwater balance (recharge versus consumption) allowed for identification of further groundwater potential. The geohydrology of the Breede River catchment is controlled by the occurrence of the rocks of the Table Mountain Group (which form the mountainous areas), the occurrence of high levels of faulting and folding in the syntaxis area of the upper catchment and the variable rainfall, being highest in the mountainous areas in the west. These factors result in a catchment with highest groundwater potential in the west, where recharge, yields and abstraction potential are greatest and the quality is the best. As a result of these factors, the western half of the catchment is also the area with the greatest groundwater use.

    Extreme Rainfall Distributions: Analysing change in the Western Cape JAN DE WAAL BSc(Hons) 16848861 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MSc (in Geography and Environmental Studies) at Stellenbosch University. SUPERVISOR: Dr JN Kemp CO-SUPERVISOR: Mr A Chapman 2012 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this research report electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ii ABSTRACT Severe floods in the Western Cape have caused significant damage to hydraulic structures, roads and other infrastructure over the past decade. The current design criteria for these structures and flood return level calculations are based on the concept of stationarity, which assumes that natural systems vary within an envelope of variability that does not change with time. In the context of regional climate change and projected changes in rainfall intensity, the basis for these calculations may become unrealistic with the passage of time. Hydraulic structures and other infrastructure may become more vulnerable to damaging floods because of changing hydroclimatic conditions. This project assesses the changes in extreme rainfall values over time across the Western Cape, South Africa. Using a Generalised Pareto Distribution, this study examines the changes in return levels across the Western Cape region for the periods 1900-1954 and 1955-2010.

  • Cultural Transformation Process
    CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION PROCESS • This process sets out to review existing policies on arts, culture and heritage presently utilised by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport of the Western Cape Provincial Government. • The national White Paper on Arts, Culture and Heritage has been utilised by the Department as the guide to practice. • After the dawn of our new democracy in 1994 we need to reassess our progress and learn from the lessons of the past years. This policy provides a new vision and policy direction for the Department and its statutory bodies. It was decided at a Western Cape Provincial Cabinet Lekgotla that the MEC for Cultural Affairs, Sport and Recreation, should host a Cultural Transformation Indaba during August 2004 for most of the stakeholders in the arts, culture and heritage sphere in the Western Cape. The purpose of the indaba was to provide a platform for interactive debate in order to kick-start the development of transformed policies that aid efficient and effective service delivery in the arts, culture and heritage field in line with the vision of Cabinet to “make the Western Cape a home for all”. At the indaba the way forward was divided into various phases: • A consolidated report on the indaba would be provided by the facilitators. • The deliberations at the indaba would be taken into account by the Department in the development of its strategic plans. • A reference group would be appointed by the Department to assist in the drafting of the policy. • The draft policy itself. • A Cultural Impact Conference would be held at the Cape Town Convention Centre.

  • Royal Tourists, Colonial Subjects and the Making of a British World, 1860–1911
    THE MAKING OF A STUDIES IN IMPERIALISM TOU ROYAL GENERAL EDITOR: Andrew S. Thompson FOUNDING EDITOR: John M. MacKenzie ROYAL TOURISTS, COLONIAL ROYAL TOURISTS, SUBJECTS AND THE MAKING OF A BRITISH WORLD, 1860–1911 COLONIAL SUBJECTS This book examines the ritual space of nineteenth-century royal tours of empire and the diverse array of historical actors who R AND THE MAKING participated in them. It is a tale of royals who were ambivalent and ISTS, COLONIAL SUBJECTS AND ISTS, COLONIAL bored partners in the project of empire; colonial administrators who used royal ceremonies to pursue a multiplicity of projects and interests or to imagine themselves as African chiefs or heirs to the Mughal OF A BRITISH WORLD, BR emperors; local princes and chiefs who were bullied and bruised by the politics of the royal tour, even as some of them used the tour to ITISH WO symbolically appropriate or resist British cultural power; and settlers 1860–1911 of European descent and people of colour in the empire who made claims on the rights and responsibilities of imperial citizenship and as co-owners of Britain’s global empire. Royal tourists, colonial subjects and the making of a British world suggests that the diverse responses to the royal tours of the nineteenth century demonstrate how a multi- centred British imperial culture was forged in the empire and was R LD, 1860–1911 constantly made and remade, appropriated and contested. In this context, subjects of empire provincialised the British Isles, centring the colonies in their political and cultural constructions of empire, Britishness, citizenship, and loyalty.
