Being a Cape Townian 'originally" i appreciate the beauty of the Mother City when i visit her. For 28 years i resided in Cape town and took the beauty for granted or could see it because it was there all the time, now that i reside in Johannesburg, my most forward looking holiday is my yearly trip to the Mother City...please dont distroy the beauty!!! |

I use the Seapoint promenade and swimming pool extensively in the early mornings. I am always amazed by the number of people that use this area for recreational purpose such as excercising, walking dogs, reading and just enjoying the space. To take this away from such a densely populated area is insensitive and would spoil the entire Seapoint area. Must be stopped. |

They tore down Club I-land, quite rightly. And it wasn't so bad with Wimpy's, but its better now without anything there. I know the area well. It's not worth it. |

This would be like building on Table Mountain!!! We must maintain some nature in life for all walks of life to exist in otherwise we may as well all move to Jozi!!! |

Public Open Space is a precious heritage asset and it should be preserved for the benefit of all members of the public in perpetuity. This is particularly true for the POS in such a special location alongside the Sea Point Pavilion. No rezoning should be allowed unless it is unarguably in the interest of the general public and it receives support from a clear majority of the public.

Why take away something that's making such a lot of people happy....we need tranquility in this day and age....that can't be it...there's lots of open pieces of land you can go and develop on. |

ex Capetonian - a definite NO - i love to picnic there and in the evenings it's a quick drive to go to relax and unwind. |

I love walking on the promenade, breathing in the fresh ocean breeze and catching some sun! It would be such a waste to replace all of this with buildings, why? For financial gain?
What about all the people who love exercising, picnicing and swimming there!
Definitely shouldn't happen! |

I strongly object to this rezoning of the Promenade and especially around the Pavilion area - this will destroy Cape Town's beauty and especially along the Sea Point Promenade. The Pavilion is an icon of Sea Point which is enjoyed by locals and national/international visitors alike. PLEASE STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!!! |

The Seapoint pavilion is a special place for all Capetonians, and provides the quickest access to amazing sea views when you're living and working in the city. Such developments should not be allowed, and more awareness should be brought about this issue (media, etc.) |

Rezone the crime and drug use. How can any development not affect the community or the people living there? Also, we do not have electricity to power these developments. Leave Seapoint the way it is and the way people love it. |

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Seapoint! It was my first "home" in Cape Town and remains very close to my heart. One of the very best things to do on a Sunday afternoon (or better yet, in the late afternoon after work, just before sunset) is to go for a walk down the Seapoint promenade, appreciating the beauty of God's Creation, in this, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. |

I enjoy the option of running on the promenade in Sea Point and consider it one of the best places in the cape to enjoy some fantastic scenery. It would be a dire loss to the public of Cape Town to see this area used only by the select few who can afford to use it. |

We are all sick and tired of all these silly changes. I can't show my kids anymore beautiful things or places in and around Cape Town, without paying a fortune to get in or just to have a peek. If they want to keep the element out then the help of the SAP should be called in. |

Please don't let the land go to private and commercial sectors. It's one of the most cross cultural places in the city, where so many kinds of people, local and tourists, mix and appreciate the city. It has enormous history. Selling this land would be a tragedy. |
