Cape Town residents will have a chance to comment on plans for the proposed redevelopment of Green Point Common, site of the new multi-purpose stadium to be built in time for the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup.
"A series of eleven public meetings will be held from tonight until 25 May to give residents images and information about the plans for the sports and recreation precinct," the city said in a statement.
Information packs will also be available at City libraries.
The public's comments, the city said, will be recorded in a report that would be submitted to the Provincial MEC of the Environment, Planning and Economic Development by 6 July 2007.
The public participation process and the report are requirements in the MEC's Record of Decision issued in January 2007 when she gave environmental authorisation for the building of the new stadium on a portion of Green Point Common on the site of the Metropolitan Golf Course.
The R2, 8 billion stadium will in its completion be a 68 000-seater, multi-purpose stadium and is expected to host a semi-final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup match.
At the meeting, it is expected that the urban park concept plan will be explained to the public, showing the proposed park, a consolidated sports precinct (for cricket, rugby, soccer, tennis, golf, bowls and athletics).
A display at each venue where the meetings are to take place would contain aerial photographs, conceptual drawings, and plans.
These will cover the history and proposals for the Green Point urban park located on the Common.
The size of the Green Point Common sports, park and recreation area will also be compared with other park areas in the metropolitan area.
A visual presentation will be given at each public meeting, and questions from the audience will be answered by subject experts from the City and consultants.
