Cape Town has appointed a contractor for the R11,4 million Strand Pavilion Precinct upgrade project.

The project will compromise of the resurfacing of the parking area near the launch pad off Beach Road, the establishment of a demarcated informal trading area, and the installation of public lighting. It further entails the construction of a new paved pedestrianised public square, which will be located opposite the existing circle on the main road.

The creation of public seating and soft landscaping will also be a feature of the public square and minor upgrading of underground services will be done. The refurbishment of the Strand sea wall, which is also underway, forms part of the overall pavilion precinct revitalisation initiative.

“As with all upgrade projects which involve work on much-used public spaces, there may be some inconvenience but we thank our residents for their patience as we give this area a necessary facelift,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Environmental and Spatial Planning, Councillor Johan van der Merwe.

The City contractor will be making use of local Expanded Public Works Programme labour and is expected to complete the project by June 2018
