I used to live in Sea Point and LOVE it like it is! We dont need an other bloddy shopping mal or somthing else there! Keep concentrated on the stadium and leave the rest like it is.
Love mothercity!

This is just another scheme to get more money out of the public so that a simple stroll one will have to now pay for. |

Unacceptable. There are more than enough hotels and shops in the area. This is public space and needs to be enjoyed by all. |

The Sea Point Promenade has been a place of pleasure and relaxation since the day I was born, and most probably since the day my grandfather was born, changing it into another money making centre will not only make another clone shopping facility but take away from so manys (all cultures in the new South Africa I might add) weekends, holidays and lifestyles. Please think about the people of Cape Town, not just a few people making money. |

Sea POint Pavillion is one of Cape Town\'s pride and joys, a beautiful view and a safe place to walk and run. It is also a tourist attraction as a scenic walk just outside the hussle and bussle of the city. It would be a huge lost for Cape Town if this area was developed because 1) we have enough malls and 2) Surprise surprise, tourists don\'t come here for malls - they can go to the US for that. Let\'s stay true to our South African roots and protect the beautiful routes and walk ways we have for all. |

The best way to miss the traffic is to take a walk on the promenade, and it revitalizes better than Red Bull. |

All development should include public participation and enhance the area as a fully and unconditional public space. |

We all know what happened to the Durban beach front when the Marine Parade was spoilt due to the space between Marine Parade and the ocean. Sea Point can go the same way as Durban beachfront if this is not stopped. |

Whereas I can understand the rapacious greed of the developers, I fail to understand the wisdom of the proposed development.
Many countries have proven how shortsighted it has been to overdevelop beachfront areas into ugly flats and highrise developments.
The only way to maintain ongoing interest in the beachfront areas is to keep it to what makes it so appealing to all visitors and that is the accessibility to all people and not just a select few. Wake up! We have more than enough shopping malls, kindly leave an open area for all the people to enjoy, including all the foreign visitors who come here for precisely this kind of open air beachfront and not some Tuscan or glass and steel nightmared experience which they can get in any overdeveloped city in the world. |

Enough is enough. At which point will this all come to a head. At which point will the greedy land developers and money grubbers realise that even they will have no beautiful and open places to enjoy the millions that they are making from these deals.
Is the idea to let our children play on the rooftops of these and other buildings so that they can momentarily enjoy the sensation of open space. Where and when does it stop? The \"Golden Arch\", Nike signature \"TICK\" and Audi \"Cricles\" fighting for supremecy on Table Mountain?
We are sick of this! Please stop it for us, or let us know how we can help!
And not just money, our minds and muscle are behind any actions that are trying to better this beautiful country before it is completely ruined.

The only reason they want to develope this site is to make MORE money. The developers do not stay there, nor do they use this site so what do they care. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING! |

Seapoint is one of the most beautiful areas in Cape Town, and heavy development would definately make an impact on the environment, as well as the quality of life for the people currently staying there. Go develop somewhere else. Seapoint main road is already as busy as it can get and traffic is a nightmare, dont make things worse. I am sure there is a law to the minimum amount of recreational and conservation space in an area. This government needs to do something about it, since it doesn\'t seem they can do anything else. |
