The City of Cape Town’s Local Planning Support Community Outreach is in Westlake Village today, Monday 20 October. They are offering homeowners the chance to get expert advice on property development and community planning. This event highlights the significance of local planning support for Westlake Village residents.
Residents are invited to meet the city team at WUCT Commando Hall from 15:00 to 20:00. The initiative aims to help homeowners grow household income and develop additional affordable housing on their properties. It also helps navigate the often-complex planning and building processes required for self-build projects, with specific support available in Westlake Village.
This outreach provides a rare opportunity for residents to engage directly with city officials who support community development. These officials can guide residents through planning applications, permits, and financing options for property improvements. Additionally, they will answer questions, provide advice on land use, and discuss strategies for improving the overall neighbourhood. Local support for planning in Westlake Village can be advantageous for such improvements.
Homeowners attending the event are advised to bring key documents, including their title deed, municipal bill, home plans and identification. These will help city officials provide tailored guidance and ensure any applications or consultations can be processed efficiently.
The outreach forms part of the city’s broader effort. They support local communities in making sustainable improvements to their properties while boosting household income opportunities. Residents of Westlake Village greatly benefit from planning support at the local level.
For more information, residents can contact the Local Planning Support Office via email at LocalPlanning.SupportOffice@capetown.gov.za.
Ward 71 Councillor Carolynne Franklin encourages all Westlake Village homeowners to take advantage of this initiative. She urges them to use the opportunity to strengthen both their properties and the wider community.
