As a lifetime Atlantic seaboard resident I strongly object to a commercial development being put on the Pavilion site.
If the development is allowed it shall set a precedent for similar undesirable developments on the beach front in the future |

I am absolutely behind keeping the promenade open to all,
the seapoint promenade is what makes living in seapoint so great. without it seapoint is just another suburb in a noisy busy city. My elderly parents are considering moving to Cape Town just so that they can stroll on the promenade every day. Dont make the mistake that So many coastal cities make and commercilise the beachfront - it will kill the entire area.The promenade is quirky and interesting and a place for all. PLEASE save it if you can. |

There are so few places left where you can actually see the sea. Look at Milnerton,hotels, flats, office blocks blocking out the ordinary citizen's view. The same has happened at Blouberg, Big Bay. Please leave us and the future generations this little piece of God's creation to enjoy. Please! |

There are more than enough other sites for developers to "improve". Leave our Public Places for our children's, children's, children. |

yeah this plan sucks. surely it's far too transparent for anyone to think of it as anything but an opportunity for developers to ruin our seafront further. nobody will benefit and, most importantly, cape town itself won't benefit. |

The green space is a place for everyone to enjoy- which they do.
I find it disapointing to think that this may be given up, particularly for a few individual can make a lot of money
It a place for the public, part of the city heritage. It - and we - deserve better. |

leave the promenade for the people. the greed of big business at the expense of the residents of capetown is scandalous. the promenade is our equivalent of central park in New York. it is one of the few remaining lungs left to the city. HANDS OFF!!! |

the promenade is a thing of beauty & a heritage as far as I am concerned. why do we need more malls & shopping centres in this area! if anything we need more open spaces!
its totally unacceptable to make this a private money spinner for a few greedy people |

I believe the erection of these buildings will change the face of Cape Town as we all have come to know & love it.
Being able to walk alongside the Sea with others.
I would like to keep the Sea Point Promenade as it is, perhaps some 'upgrading' in so far as amenities for the people who visit the area. |

In the interest of maintaining communities and promoting the positive contribution they provide for young and old of all races, I petition for this public space to be remain public.
A place where people of all ages and races gather and socialise along side one another is a neccessity for all South Africans.
South Africa is a beautiful country and should be enjoyed by all, not a few who pay for the priviliedge and for profit.
Economic growth in the area will not be significantly dented if this development does not go ahead. Should business wish to pursue other areas in which to invest, the opportunity will be available to them in consultation with those who use the space they wish to develop.
Perhaps the proposers of this development can find a way to allow sharing of the space and scale back their plans.
I look forward to the day when businesses work jointly with the communities they invest in with pure social responsibility intent.
To develop communities with integrity is to build a strong social structure which provides support and a firm grounding for all. It would be terribly sad to errode the social community enjoyed in this area. |

sea point pavillion has always been there for years. i originally come from gauteng relocated in 1990 and i can remeber from holidays. all walks of live enjoy that part of seapoint and it would be unheard of to trash the beach front just for living space. the are plenty of other areas to build on!!!!!!

Re-zoning this public open space would be wrong. Every weekend the promenade is full of people from all walks of life. They come from all areas to use this valuable amenity. Interactions between people are largely positive. This is the kind of thing that public servants should be promoting, not destroying. |
