The V&A Waterfront neighbourhood in Cape Town, South Africa, has begun a consultation phase seeking public feedback on proposed reclamation project.
The Granger Bay proposed development will entail the reclamation of approximately 3.2 hectares of land from Table Bay to accommodate new coastal public amenities and new mixed-use development. The proposal would also provide for public access along this section of shoreline west of the V&A Waterfront, extending the existing public promenade.
New public amenities will include the new bay, providing sheltered waters for boating, kayaking, and swimming. Land-based amenities will include a coastal public walkway, a slipway, a fixed quayside, a landscaped promenade, tidal pools, pedestrian paths, and open areas.
There will also be new coastal defence structures, including two new breakwaters that will form a sheltered bay.
The public has the opportunity to comment on the neighbourhood's application and the assessment of environmental impacts. Feedback can be submitted until March 15, 2026.
A copy of the pre-approval application for the reclamation can be accessed and downloaded here.
