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. |

Find out who is wanting to have it re-zoned, and how much that official is getting "paid" (bribed) to do it. |

I am strongly against the rezoning of sections of Public Open Space in Sea Point Pavilion, specifically Seapoint boulevard, pavilion and the promenade |

I remember roller-skating down the pavilion when I was a youngster. This means that my kids might never get that chance |

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!!!!!!
leave some nature around, so little of that left |

The prom should be protected from development. We have precious little open spaces, free and unrestricted use by all, alongside the ocean. Keep the prom for the people. |

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. |

The new democracy in 1994 was all about protecting the rights of the previously disadvantaged, these are the very people who rely on Public Spaces for enjoyment away from their home environments. |

Sea Point Promenade, the Baths, the grass, beach, sidewalk, parking lot means a lot to everyone here. The parking lots are always full, whether it be weekends or weekdays. Old and young, we all enjoy being there. Why break it down in order to make one small group of people benefit when right now we're all benefitting from it. 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!!' |

the rezoning is a terrible idea. it would be interesting to see who stands to gain from all this. those asked to approve the rezoning are probably benefiting financially. |

I run along the sea front every morning and enjoy taking evening walks with my fiance. I think that so much of Cape Towns skyline and views have been ruined by new construction and that this is the last area that should be touched by another hotel or shopping centre. We already have three shopping centers in Sea Point and surely don't need another one especially on the sea front. Many people have paid exorbitant amounts of money for property in the area with sea view only to be ruined. |

We've been walking on seapoint promenade for years, in winter and summer. Its a great place for the kids to ride their bikes and get some fresh air. A wonderful public space. Cape Town must keep as many of the free space recreational areas as possible. |

I really believe that this public space along the Promenade should not be redeveloped for commercial use. I find it suspect that this tender was awarded in the first place. Relevant persons at local government level should be hed accountable for this decision. If there is anything I can do to assist please let me know. |

I was on holiday in your beautiful city last December and we had wonderful evening walks on the promanade, it will be a shame to replace this beautiful open PUBLIC space for another concrete monster. I look forward to another visit to the most beautiful city in South Africa. Please don't spoil it. |
