Boost for Klapmuts soon
2007-07-19
RAPID expansion of Klapmuts is on the cards. The subdivision of the farm Groenefontein south of Merchant Street by developer Francois Klomp has been approved in principle by the Stellenbosch Municipality and final objections, if any, must be lodged by 6 August.
The 38 hectares farm is to be subdivided into about 1000 erven, with business erven along the R44 between Merchant Street and the Potbelly Pantry.
A new traffic light on the R44 at the intersection with Merchant Street and the Simondium Road will improve traffic flow. There might also in future be a fuel station at the intersection.
The development will include 260 smaller erven with affordable housing intended for farm workers.
These erven of 200 to 230 square metres will boast houses of about 26 square metres in size.
Further south will be an extended private development including group housing and an old age home for 150 people. Provision will also be made for a high school, a small hospital, nursery schools and church.
The total development will mean a boost of about R300 million for Klapmuts.
It will compliment the proposed lifestyle development of R200 million on the wine estate Anura nearby, which plans about 150 housing units along with a boutique hotel and spa.
