Spatial Planning & Density Rationale

The 18.25 hectares (182,500 square meters) is a significant piece of land, allowing for a strategic balance between built areas and crucial green/open spaces [16].

Component Zoning & Fit Rationale

Component Zoning/Function Rationale for Fit
Elderly Living & Care Specialized High-Density Positioned adjacent to existing facilities (Tuinhuis/HAV), utilizing vertical design (low-rise apartments/assisted living blocks) [16, 17].
Medium-Density Residential Townhouses, Duplexes, Low-Rise Flats The largest segment, using efficient land allocation to prevent sprawl while ensuring private and communal green areas [17].
Youth Hub, Sports & Community Centre High-Density Facilities Designed for vertical and compact use, including sports courts (paddle) and B&B. Parking strategically placed along MC Roode Road [18].
Retail/Commercial Complex Business/Commercial Positioned along MC Roode Road frontage, typically single or double-level structures with dedicated, compact parking areas for efficiency and visibility [18].
Central Park & Playground Open Space/Recreation Created by adopting a high-density approach elsewhere, this is a large central green heart preventing overcrowding and offering breathing room [19].
