Repeal of By-Laws Adopted byt former Municipalities Residential Electricy Reticulation Policy Revised Urban Design Policy CITY OF CAPE TOWN 26 OCTOBER 2023 MEDIA RELEASE Call to co-create Traffic Calming Policy and Road Safety Strategy The City’s Urban Mobility Portfolio Committee is calling on residents to collaborate with the City on ideas and solutions to make Cape Town’s roads safer for all users. On average, more than 700 lives are lost on our roads and more than 7 000 people are injured every year. The City is determined to make our roads safer, reducing the number of accidents and loss of life. Read more below: The Urban Mobility Portfolio Committee is reviewing the City of Cape Town’s Road Safety Strategy and Traffic Calming Policy. The directorate takes road safety seriously, and as such is strengthening its efforts to improve this for all road users in Cape Town. ‘The Portfolio Committee is testing a new approach to policy development, which includes calling for ideas using the City’s Collaboration Platform and hosting focus group sessions via Subcouncils. This trial step precedes the policy drafting phase, giving residents and stakeholders an early opportunity to help shape the directorate’s efforts to make roads safer. The Portfolio Committee is tasked with ensuring meaningful public engagement and as such is always looking for innovative ideas,’ said the City Council’s Chairperson of the Urban Mobility Portfolio Committee, Councillor Mikhail Manuel. The formal public participation phase will continue, as required, after developing the draft Traffic Calming Policy and draft Road Safety Strategy. ‘The Urban Mobility Directorate believes in open and innovative governance and this is yet another way that the directorate is working to include all road users in helping to make roads safer,’ said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas. Road users and residents can submit comments on how the City can address:

Construction Of Potsdam WWTP: Subcontracting OpportunitiesConstruction begins on R5,2bn Potsdam Wastewater Works upgradeCITY OF CAPE TOWN 2 AUGUST 2023 MEDIA RELEASE Construction begins on R5,2bn Potsdam Wastewater Works upgrade Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis on Wednesday visited the Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Works to mark the start of construction on this major R5,2bn upgrade, the Western Cape’s second largest infrastructure project. The City aims to finalise the upgrade in 2027, with the operational trial starting in 2026. The City’s goal is to steadily restore the environmental health of the Milnerton Lagoon through a combination of infrastructure upgrades and dredging of the waterbody to remove pollution build-up in sediment. Read more below: 
High resolution photographs are available here: https://bit.ly/3DGPHKo The upgrade is set to double the plant’s capacity to handle the needs of a growing city, from 47 to 100 million litres of treated wastewater per day. Cutting-edge membrane technology will be progressively added to ensure high wastewater treatment standards. Other major sewerage infrastructure upgrades under way in the vicinity include the R430m Montague Gardens Bulk Sewer Rehabilitation, R118m Koeberg Pump Station Upgrade, and long-term pump station and pipe replacement programmes. ‘The R5,2bn Potsdam upgrade is a critical part of our plan to restore the environmental health of Milnerton Lagoon, which is a non-negotiable for the City. The aim is to steadily close off pollution sources to the lagoon over time, building up to the ultimate goal of dredging the water body to remove the sediment containing the decades-long build-up of pollution. ‘The installation of cutting-edge wastewater treatment tech at Potsdam will be dovetailed with the completion of dredging at the lagoon, in around two years. ‘This is a Priority Programme of this administration, and we are closely tracking the multi-billion rand upgrades to Potsdam and the surrounding sewer network to ensure these are completed timeously,’ said Mayor Hill-Lewis. Cape Town is massively ramping up infrastructure investment, with a 223% increase in its Water and Sanitation infrastructure budget over three years, from R2,3 billion in 2022/23 to R7,8 billion in 2025/26. Highlights include:
Councillor Zahid Badroodien, Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, said the City is taking a range of short term actions to combat pollution in the Diep River catchment. ‘We have just installed over 20 litter nets all along the Diep River, and expanded our waste interception to the Black and Salt Rivers as well as the Jakkalsvlei canal. We are also investigating and correcting cross connections created by residents from Stormwater and Sewer pipes, alongside ongoing by-law enforcement operations. ‘We are also making progress on critical maintenance work to improve treated effluent quality at Potsdam, including major cleaning work to maturation ponds and the re-engineering of natural reed beds to prevent pollution from reaching the Diep River. ‘Collaboration with local communities and civil society stakeholders, information sharing, and public involvement are essential aspects of our action plan,’ said Cllr Badroodien.

CITY OF CAPE TOWN
10 JUNE 2023 MEDIA RELEASE When it rains it pours: How to report stormwater flooding The recent rains we have experienced – while welcome in our water-scarce region – have revealed the extent to which illegal dumping into our stormwater infrastructure is preventing these critical drainage assets from functioning as they are designed to. It is important that residents know how to correctly report flooding caused by blocked stormwater systems in order for the correct teams to respond efficiently. Read more below: The flooding and ponding of our roads, public open spaces, and even homes during periods of wet weather is a headache that all residents wish to have resolved in as short a time as possible. For that reason, it is important that residents are correctly informed as to how to log instances of flooding caused by blockages in our stormwater system, and not confuse this with flooding caused by bursts in our municipal, or drinking water supply pipes. If we are experiencing, or have recently experienced rainfall, and a roadway has become flooded with water, the cause is most likely to be the stormwater drainage system being compromised in some way. In cases of extremely intense rainfall, the stormwater systems and/or canals may not have the necessary capacity to drain away the amount of rainwater that has fallen. More commonly, however, the cause is blockages in the system created by illegal dumping. While the Urban Mobility Directorate’s Roads and Infrastructure Management teams have been hard at work clearing wind-blown and illegally dumped materials from our stormwater systems, we also rely on residents to alert us to road infrastructure problems when they see them.
‘Road Infrastructure Management teams have been hard at work with pre-emptive stormwater clearing as part of the winter preparation programs in all districts across the metro. Communities must, however, be reminded of the importance of playing their part in preventing dumping and littering into our critical infrastructure. Stormwater systems are designed for exactly that, stormwater. Blockages caused by litter, refuse, building material and other inappropriate materials will cause flooding and untold misery for those affected by flooding ‘Dumping materials into the stormwater system and canals is illegal and residents are encouraged to report any incidents they witness,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

The City’s Home Composting Programme was initiated in 2016 and the response by members of the public was immediately enthusiastic. The number of residents keen to embrace the initiative was so staggering that it became necessary to revise the rollout programme and implement a scheduled, systematic approach to distributing the containers. Although budgetary constraints mean that only 600 units are available per Sub-Council now, future distributions will be coming to the area in the coming months again.
Beyond such programmes, the City encourages residents to make use of any of the 27 waste drop-off sites it manages to dispose of garden waste, recyclables, garage waste and builders’ rubble free of charge. If the City and residents can work together on this effectively, the results will be plain to see. There will be less dumping and communities will benefit from cleaner spaces, that can give our children hope for a better future. Compost could even be used for healthy and productive vegetable and community gardens. ‘Donating your recyclables to the community organisations, schools or entrepreneurs who are involved in recycling, is a direct investment in those community groups or small business livelihoods, strengthening Cape Town’s resilience and prosperity as a whole. ‘Waste minimisation can also help households save money. If their bin is overflowing every week, for instance due to many families living on the property, or backyard tenants, waste minimisation can help avoid the need to apply for another one, at an additional cost. Waste minimisation will also reduce risk that the bin contents will be dumped in a nearby field or informal dump site before the next collection days. If communities can come together around this strategy, the potential to improve their area is massive,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Waste Management, Alderman Grant Twigg. Please see below to find information on Composting bins and also a frequently asked question and answers as received via email. 
Spatial Development and Environmental Management Frameworks
Good Day All,

08 September 2021
Council approved the Informal Trading Plans for Wards 1, 5, 107 and 113 on Thursday, 19 August 2021. The approved plans aim to support informal trading in the areas and grow the local economy. The development process for the Informal Trading Plans included the internal and external stakeholder engagements, where interested parties were given an opportunity to provide inputs into the draft revised trading plans. The final revised trading plan was presented at the respective subcouncil meetings and approved by Council on Thursday, 19 August 2021. The locations specific to the various Informal Trading Plans in the wards are as follows:
‘Informal trading plays a vital role in creating much-needed local employment and economic opportunities. The City is therefore doing all it can to balance the needs of the formal retail sector with the need for economic development as we continue to build a city of opportunity,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Management, Alderman Grant Twigg. Once an Informal Trading Plan is approved by Council and implemented, the City monitors the demarcated sites to ensure that traders comply with the City’s by-laws and trade within their permit conditions. ‘The approval of the Informal Trading Plans means that informal traders and individual enterprises can create vibrant economic opportunities to support the local economy and at the same time, enhance the City’s economic and growth strategies. ‘More importantly, it is vital that the City acknowledges the relevance and contribution of the informal trading sector to the local economy and the vibrancy it brings to the social environment of the area. Informal trading provides an income to those who are unemployed and affords locals with the freedom to support either local or traditional formal sector retail options. ‘An Informal Trading Plan is needed because strategically, we need to demarcate specific locations for informal trading by considering local conditions and circumstances in the area, while at the same time, we also need to prohibit informal trading in certain locations due to practical considerations on the ground,’ said Alderman Twigg.

CITY OF CAPE TOWN 26 APRIL 2021 MEDIA RELEASE City seeks to update its Animal Keeping Policy The document is available for public comment until 17 May 2021. Read more below: The revision of the Animal Keeping Policy is being driven by the City’s Safety and Security Portfolio Committee. First introduced in 2005, the policy includes aspects relating to the principles of animal welfare, responsibilities of pet owners and the public at large, complaints relating to animals, and partnerships between the City and pet owners, animal keepers, and the animal welfare sector, among others. ‘The City and animal welfare organisations are increasingly spending huge amounts of budgets on health and safety programmes dedicated to animals. We have also seen an increase in the number of complaints around animal welfare, which is placing immense pressure on the SPCA and other organisations in the animal welfare sector, but also the City’s Law Enforcement Department,’ said the Chairperson of the City’s Safety and Security Portfolio Committee, Councillor Mzwakhe Nqavashe. Among the City’s interventions in recent years to advance animal welfare, have been:
‘The updated policy seeks to provide a very clear guide to animal owners or care-givers, breeders of animals and the public at large, as to how to apply the duty to care principle to all animals within the City’s jurisdiction,’ added Councillor Nqavashe. The policy document is available for perusal and comment via the City’s website: https://www.capetown.gov.za/City-Connect/Have-your-say/Issues-open-for-public-comment/comment-on-the-draft-revised-animal-keeping-policy, as well as at City Libraries and Subcouncil offices. The public comment period started on 17 April 2021 and will conclude on 17 May 2021. The City will also engage with all stakeholders in the animal welfare sector as part of the public participation process. Dates for such engagements will be communicated shortly.

Covid-19 has led to the City tweaking the way it engages with its residents in order to reduce risk and prevent the spread of Covid-19. Apart from communicating on the draft Budget via social media, telephone, WhatsApp, through mailers, media releases and the City’s website, a limited number of engagements at Subcouncil level and other forums are also being undertaken. ‘The City is making every effort to bring the draft budget to the people, residents and ratepayers as it is incredibly important that they scrutinise and comment on the budget, so that they can be a part of the City’s efforts in providing the best service to residents across the metro. We especially thank our ward and PR councillors for continuing to be our public and City ambassadors, and helping to inform our residents about City matters in an accurate, inclusive and responsible manner. ‘One of the highlights of this year’s budget is the proposed R3,4 billion available to help qualifying residents with rates and services relief. We also continue to do our best to protect residents and ratepayers as much as possible from rising costs, especially from Eskom’s massive price increase. This has resulted in extensive budget cuts. Most notably, some R460 million has been cut from staffing and contracting services, while safeguarding basic service provision as far as possible. ‘In addition, Water Management Device meter installations are proposed to be phased out. Registered indigent customers will be able to use a determined volume of water per month at no charge. Should they exceed this limit for two consecutive months, and not reduce usage despite warning notices, the property will be placed on a trickle-flow supply. ‘Looking ahead over the medium term, this Budget was prepared with the intention of keeping rates and service charges to the bare minimum to assist already struggling residents, communities and businesses,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Finance, Alderman Ian Neilson. ‘The City relies on residents to provide us with their inputs and insights on the draft budget. The City is an accountable and responsive government, and public inputs assists us to improve where required and keeps us on our toes. Once the public participation process is completed and the public’s input has been considered, it will then be taken to Council for debate and adoption in May 2021,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Management, Alderman Grant Twigg.

Sludge Removal Process Causing Bad Odour
CITY OF CAPE TOWN 13 FEBRUARY 2021 MEDIA RELEASE Sludge removal process causing bad odour Contractors are in the process of removing sludge stockpiled at Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Works, and the disruption of the stockpile is causing a bad odour, as anticipated. The City regrets the discomfort to residents, and every effort is being made to suppress the smell while the work is underway. Read more below: Removal of the stockpile in the sludge pond commenced on the afternoon of 28 January 2021, and all sludge that could be directly loaded onto trucks was removed by 3 February 2021. During those six days, over 1000 tons of sludge cake was removed from the sludge pond stockpile, and this included all stockpiled primary sludge cake. All the water contained in the sludge cake stockpile moved to the bottom of the pond over time, and therefore the remaining sludge in the pond was too wet to be removed by truck immediately. Further processing was required to ensure that the sludge is sufficiently dry to be transported by truck. This process is time-consuming and does release odour, which is contributing to the ongoing odour around the plant. Odour suppression and masking have continued throughout the removal operation. This has been ongoing since 4 February, and removal of the remaining sludge, which is expected to be fully processed/dry, will begin today,13 February 2021. This should see a reduction in odours. It is envisaged that the pond will be completely cleaned out in approximately two weeks. Furthermore, it is also noted though that the trucks disposing the sludge do have a very strong odour and are probably the cause of some significant odour along its route to the disposal site. The plant has requested the drivers of the vehicles transporting sludge to hose the vehicles down before leaving the site, which should also further aid in reducing odours in the area. The City apologises for the severe impact and inconvenience caused by the odours. Every effort is being made to clear the rest of the sludge that is too wet to transport as soon as possible.

CITY OF CAPE TOWN 12 FEBRUARY 2021 MEDIA RELEASE City advises of water supply disruption in the Sunningdale, Blouberg, Table View and Parklands areas The City’s Water and Sanitation Department will be conducting zero pressure tests on the main water supply in the Sunningdale, Blouberg, Table View and Parklands areas on Tuesday, 16 February and Thursday, 18 February 2021. Read more below: This will result in the disruption of water supply to these areas from 19:00 until 02:00 the following morning. Residents are however advised to prepare, where possible, by storing water in clean, sealed containers. Zero pressure tests are part of the City’s rollout of pressure management infrastructure. Advanced pressure management allows the City to reduce pressure fluctuations in the network that create stress on pipes over time. This reduces the likelihood of leaks and bursts. The test is done to determine if there are any unmapped inflows into an area to inform the calibration of a pressure reducing valve, which will be installed at a later date. Residents are also advised to make sure that their taps are left in the closed position during this period to prevent any water loss and/or water damage when the supply is restored. The City regrets any inconvenience caused, however this work is necessary to ensure water supply remains reliable.
