Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape (2004) Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape (2004) A research study undertaken fot the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning of the Western Cape Provincial Government by: CENTRE FOR GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH PROJECT LEADER: Prof IJ van der Merwe RESEARCH TEAM: Ms AJ Davids (University of Stellenbosch) Dr S Ferreira (University of Stellenbosch) Mr GP Swart (Urban Dynamics Western Cape) Prof HL Zietsman (University of Stellenbosch) i FOREWORD Linked to the Western Cape’s vision of a ‘Home for All’ and the iKapa Elilhumayo strategy for growing and developing the Western Cape, my Department’s role is to create a Sustainable Home For All – Now and Forever. Drafting the Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (WCPSDF) has been our major contribution to the iKapa strategies. This Framework is aligned to the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) published by the President’s Office in 2003, which suggests inter alia that Provinces determine the potential for economic growth and human need in towns in the Provinces. Where potential for economic growth is found infrastructure investment is required and where human need is great but economic potential low, social investment in enabling people to participate in alternative labour markets, is essential. Thus it became necessary to understand the potential and challenges of the Western Cape which led us to undertake a scientific study into the Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape. During March 2004 the Centre for Geographic Analysis at the University of Stellenbosch was appointed for this task. The information in this document is the result of thorough and careful analysis of the towns outside the City of Cape Town. As the City has been extensively studied, it was excluded from this exercise. The information was collected through direct contact with the towns. The qualitative research undertaken through interviews augmented the quantitative research collated through layers of indicators. The results may at first glance be controversial but they should be carefully examined as they emerge from extensive interaction with key LOCAL roleplayers. Readers are invited to study the document carefully and to contact my Department should any explanation or clarification of issues be required. As much as areas with the potential to grow will receive the attention and support of government for improved economic infrastructure, the people in dire need in declining areas will receive attention and support from government for social development and poverty alleviation. The central message of the report, as argued in the NSDP, is that infrastructural investment should be concentrated in towns with growth potential, while the people in towns in decline should be assisted through social investment. It should be noted that no attempt has been made to rank the towns in terms of priority for investment. Instead the towns have been divided into two categories / typologies, with the listing of the towns in each category done alphabetically. Although this study may be used in its own right, it is an informant to our Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework which makes provision for a much broader sustainable development approach to the Province’s growth path. Furthermore, I would encourage municipalities to take the findings of this study further by doing a similar study at a municipal level. ii I am pleased to introduce the Growth Potential Study of Towns in the Western Cape and its findings to our colleagues in national Departments and State Owned Enterprises, to my colleagues and the heads of departments in the Province, to councillors and officials in municipalities, to our social partners and to the general public.

This goal led to the development of the Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF), which identifies the areas of growth in the province and the areas where, in terms of the sustainable development paradigm, growth should be emphasised in the future. It also addresses the form that this growth or development should take and further emphasises the restructuring of urban settlements to facilitate their sustainability. To provide guidance and support for implementing the PSDF, a thorough understanding and knowledge of the characteristics and performances of all the settlements in the province is needed. The aim of this study was to revise and update the Growth Potential Study of Towns in the Western Cape (Van der Merwe et al.

  • Section 5 Industrial Market Analysis
    Saldanha Development Zone Pre-Feasibility Analysis - Final Report _OCTOBER 2009 SECTION 5 INDUSTRIAL MARKET ANALYSIS 5.1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 7: INDUSTRIAL ANALYSI Saldanha has developed into the largest industrial centre along the West Coast and there is further growth potential in the downstream steel manufacturing sector, agricultural sector and the mining sector, which can lead to job creation. Further growth potential in the oil and gas industries along the coast could also alter the function of the area. As a cautionary note it may be added that the town operates within a particularly sensitive marine and atmospheric environment highly vulnerable to air and water pollution. Great care will have to be taken to ensure sustainable maintenance of a healthy environment. The town is fully dependent on the already heavily taxed Berg River for its water supply - a strategically vulnerable limitation in terms of possible development. Apart from creating a vibrant industrial sector and supportive services and infrastructure, development in the region should also focus on creating a quality of life that contributes to a productive labour force and a favourable working-playing-living environment. This includes initiatives for human resource development, community empowerment, local economic development and basic infrastructure provision. In order to determine the development opportunities that can be exploited for the purpose of industrial establishment in the IDZ, it is necessary to assess the potential provided by existing economic activities in the province, as well as to identify opportunities through planned development initiatives in the country. Linked to this, are the current international market trends in product trading, the potential of establishing industries in the value chain of existing production lines and the potential of products to be manufactured competitively in South Africa (refer to Annexure A : Industrial Market Overview / Indicators).

  • 7. Water Quality
    Western Cape IWRM Action Plan: Status Quo Report Final Draft 7. WATER QUALITY 7.1 INTRODUCTION 7.1.1 What is water quality? “Water quality” is a term used to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses, such as agricultural, domestic, recreational, and industrial, or aquatic ecosystem processes. A particular use or process will have certain requirements for the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water; for example limits on the concentrations of toxic substances for drinking water use, or restrictions on temperature and pH ranges for water supporting invertebrate communities. Consequently, water quality can be defined by a range of variables which limit water use by comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of a water sample with water quality guidelines or standards. Although many uses have some common requirements for certain variables, each use will have its own demands and influences on water quality. Water quality is neither a static condition of a system, nor can it be defined by the measurement of only one parameter. Rather, it is variable in both time and space and requires routine monitoring to detect spatial patterns and changes over time. The composition of surface and groundwater is dependent on natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological, and biological) in the drainage basin and varies with seasonal differences in runoff volumes, weather conditions, and water levels. Large natural variations in water quality may, therefore, be observed even where only a single water resource is involved. Human intervention also has significant effects on water quality. Some of these effects are the result of hydrological changes, such as the building of dams, draining of wetlands, and diversion of flow.
