The city said the golf course played an important role in managing water pollution in the Rio Negro ecosystem.
The field is situated within a high flood line or wetland and is therefore prone to flooding, and is designed to “provide a retention area for on-site floodwater storage to prevent flooding of the adjacent area” .
The city said: “While the Rondebosch site has severe development restrictions, golf course lease renovations on city-owned land should not be confused with a final decision on whether future homes will be built on property, which is a completely separate legislative process. “
He said his draft human settlements strategy, which is pending public comment until November 30, “is clear that all municipal lands are being evaluated for their potential for human settlements, including golf courses.”
Rondebosch Golf Club played a significant role in Cape Town’s golf community, with a diverse membership and a successful youth development program, the city noted.
“The club’s community benefits include a multipurpose facility and public access park while contributing to employment, all at no cost to the city. Golf charity events are regular at the club, with no charge for use of the venue. “
