Unbelievable that this can even be considered.
We've already sold off the Waterfront.
What next!? |

As a yearly visitor I would want the open public spaces to remain so - it not only preserves the beauty of the area but also encourages tourism in that people want to go there - otherwise it becomes just another ugly commercialised spot or it becomes a place only frequented by the privilege few. PLease keep it open!!!! |

The promenade and surrounding areas are also among the most scenically beautiful urban Public Open Spaces in the world! These are treasures which we cannot let slip into private hands for these then to be exploited for profit.
Please ……… help us to keep our Public Open Space just that …… PUBLIC. |

It was delightful when that horrible Hard Rock cafe structure was demolished, the front opened up and it felt as tho' Sea pint could breathe. There is so much building in the city, areas zoned for business that are under used. What is it about developers, they always want to squat on the beautiful spots? |

Having lived in Mouille Point for years and walked extensively along the Sea Point sea board for pleasure and exercise, I realise how the residents there must feel about this ridiculous development proposal that will destroy one of the most beautiful recreational areas in our glorious city. |

The Pavilion site is just great as it is - an open space along the sea side for all to use in a green-friendly manner. Only the shed selling foods needs upgrading or removal. |

This open space is critical in an ever changing landscape where public spaces are disappearing fast. We need for public parks and amenities not just for locals but for visotors to enjoy. |

Under no circumstances should the promenade be commercialised. It must remain as public open space, preserved for the benefit of the public and not private enterprise. |

The Sea Point pavillion and promenade are important landmarks of the area. It would ruin the entire character of Sea Point to have a shopping centre next to it. Should we not preserve something for the future generation? Do we need another shopping centre? |

Is it not sad enough that one of our lovely beaches - Blouberg - has already been destroyed by utter greed?
Where will this insanity end?
I am totally opposed to any such development of the promenade, leave something for the citizens of Cape Town and allow the tourists to enjoy the true beauty of our lovely city. If they wanted a concrete jungle they would stay at home. |

This is the most short sighted and stupid decision anyone can take to put such a development in Seapoint. I disagree 1000% with the decision to do any development on the promenade, due to all the reasons already mentioned by the public. This is nothing more than fat cats feathering their beds. |

Revision of zoning to allow change of use of a developed area should be considered only if popularly and demonstrably in the interest of the public. Rezoning of these properties would make a mockery of the whole intent and process of zoning. |

Are we not trying to minimize our carbon footprint...? Another commercial development is not the way to go. Stop being greedy. |
