Controversial R4bn River Club development gets conditional go-ahead from City
Share
Cape Town – The City of Cape Town announced that the controversial R4 billion River Club Development has the go-ahead after being approved for development by the Liesbeek Leisure Properties Trust.
The development has faced numerous challenges and sparked backlash from housing activists, residents in Observatory, Khoi and San councils.
The City of Cape Town even lodged an appeal against the environmental authorisation (EA) that was granted by the provincial Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning last month, which had given the development the go-ahead last year.
On Monday, the Cape Argus reported that the Observatory Civic Association (OCA) has taken to social media to raise funds via the BackaBuddy platform to help pay for legal action against the development.
