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.
