City of Cape Town provided an updated report on Table View Beachfront upgradation project. It faced significant challenges in the year 2024 that caused delays in the upgrading of civil infrastructure.
The City of Cape Town would like to advise the residents that the agreement of the contractors with the city was terminated in November 2024 due to the ongoing performance issues and failure to meet construction milestones.
Despite of all efforts to resolve the delays, the contractor failed to adhere to the approved schedule and address defaults within the required period, resulting in the termination of the contract. However, the city has developed a revised plan to ensure the completion of the project.
Reportedly, the City of Cape Town will be appointing new contractors through its existing City Framework contracts which will be allowed for a faster mobilisation on-site.
Once appointed, the major focus of the contactor will be on completing the essential elements such as the stormwater outfalls, walkways, parking areas and ablution facilities through structured work packages.
However, the city Cape Town is very much hopeful that is all goes according to plan then the work will recommence in April 2025.
Considering this, Deputy Mayor and Member of the Mayoral Committee for Spatial Planning and Environment – Alderman Eddie Andrews said that they can assure the residents that the team is committed to successfully complete the Table View Beachfront. It will upgrade and ensure that all the remaining work is carried out to the highest standards.
Deputy Mayor Andrews also assured the public that information around the new project timeline and regular updates on the project will be communicated through the local Ward Councillors, Sub-Councils and also via media.
Eddie Andrews said that they shared the frustration of the residents and would like to thank all for their patience in the execution of the project.
