Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape
Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape WESTERN CAPE SPATIAL INFORMATION FORUM 14 November 2013 Growth Potential Study (GPS) of Towns IN A NUTSHELL PURPOSE? Purpose of the GPS is not to identify where growth (e.g. economic, population and physical) should occur, but rather where it is likely to occur (in the absence of significant interventions). HOW? Use quantitative data (measurements) to model the growth preconditions and innovation potential.

Water Quality of Rivers and Open Waterbodies in the City of Cape Town
WATER QUALITY OF RIVERS AND OPEN WATERBODIES IN THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN: STATUS AND HISTORICAL TRENDS, WITH A FOCUS ON THE PERIOD APRIL 2015 TO MARCH 2020 FINAL AUGUST 2020 TECHNICAL REPORT PREPARED BY Liz Day Dean Ollis Tumisho Ngobela Nick Rivers-Moore City of Cape Town Inland Water Quality Technical Report FOREWORD The City has committed itself, in its new Water Strategy, to become a Water Sensitive City by 2040. A Water Sensitive City is a city where rivers, canals and streams are accessible, inclusive and safe to use. The City is releasing this Technical Report on the quality of water in our watercourses, to promote transparency and as a spur to action to achieve this goal. While some of our 20 river catchments are in a relatively good /near natural state, there are six catchments with particularly serious challenges. Overall, the data show that we have a long way to go to achieve our goal. Where this report has revealed areas of concern, the City commits to full transparency around possible causes which need to be addressed from within the organization, however we request that residents always keep in mind the role they have to play, and take on their share of responsibility for ensuring the next report paints a more favourable picture. It is in all of our interests. On the City’s side, efforts to address water pollution are being intensified. We have drastically stepped up the upgrading of wastewater treatment works, assisted by loan funding, and are constantly working to reduce sewer overflows, improve solid waste collection/cleansing, and identify and prosecute offenders. -

Following in the footsteps of Working for Water’s much-admired green jobs initiative, the aim of the Kader Asmal ICMP is to improve the condition of the city’s freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, while simultaneously creating job opportunities for the unemployed. Executive Mayor of Cape Town, Alderman Patricia de Lille.

Inland Water Quality Report Summary
2019 INLAND WATER QUALITY REPORT GUIDING THE TRANSITION TO A WATER-SENSITIVE FUTURE. 2 CITY OF CAPE TOWN 2019 INLAND WATER QUALITY REPORT Acknowledgements The City thanks the consultant team for their scientific comprehensive analysis of the City’s inland water quality database and preparation of the technical report which this summary publication is based on. The team comprised Dr Liz Day and Messrs. Dean Ollis, Nick Rivers-Moore and Tumisho Ngobela. 3 1. FOREWORD In its new Water Strategy, the City of Cape Town has committed itself to becoming a water- sensitive city by 2040. A water-sensitive city is a city where rivers, canals and streams are accessible, inclusive and safe to use. This summary booklet – City of Cape Town Inland Water Quality Report – is being published as a companion to a more comprehensive technical report – Water Quality of Rivers and Open Waterbodies in the City of Cape Town: Status and historical trends with a focus on the period April 2015 to March 2020. Both documents are published to promote transparency and as a call to action. While some of our urban river catchments are in a relatively good or near-natural state, six catchments face serious challenges. Overall, the data show that we have a long way to go to achieve our goal of being a water-sensitive city. Where the report has revealed areas of concern, the City commits to full transparency as to possible causes that need to be addressed from within the administration. However, we also request that residents keep in mind the part they have to play, and take on their share of responsibility for ensuring that the next report paints a more favourable picture. -

Weskus Visitor Trends & Patterns 4.1 Origin of visitors 4.2 Age profile of visitors 4.3 Travel group size 4.4 Mode of transport 4.5 Main purpose of visit 4.6 Top activities undertaken in the Weskus 4.7 Overnight vs. Day Visitors 4.8 Length of stay 4.9 Accommodation usage 4.10 Average spend in the Weskus 4.11 Top Information Sources 5. Weskus Towns 6. Trends and patterns by origin of visitors 7. Performance of the Weskus Attractions 8. Weskus New Routes 9. Weskus New Tourism Developments 10. Acknowledgements 1. Methodology This report provides an overview of the tourism trends and patterns in the Weskus. The findings will illustrate key visitor trends obtained from the regional visitor tracking survey. Responses to the regional visitor tracking surveys are used as a proxy to indicate the key trends within the Western Cape and the various regions. It is important to note that absolute figures cannot be determined from these surveys, as the survey responses are a sample of the tourists into the respective tourism offices across the Western Cape, and would thus represent a sample of the visitors. Therefore, where statistically relevant absolute numbers may be given, however, a share is provided to indicate the trend. This is based on international best practice in the use of surveys within the tourism industry for determining key trends. Definition: Tourist: refers to any visitor travelling to a place other than that of his/her own environment for more than one night, but less than 12 months and for whom the main purpose of the trip is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated for from within the place visited. -
