OPTION SELECTION WORKSHOP SUMMARY

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

OBJECTIVES

We agreed objectives. (updated from the Vision Workshop)

ENVIRONMENT • Conserve water resources & biodiversity • Sustainable urban drainage • Best practice/sustainable approach

INFRASTRUCTURE • Resilient supply • Demand reduction • Affordable

DEVELOPMENT PLANNING • Social integration • Quality public realm • Development delivered as promised • Positively transform the city • Urban efficiency: job density, modal density, people density.

TRANSPORT • Catalytic • Affordable • Connected • Integrated • Internally and externally linked – When? For whom? Linking what/where to what where (hub to hub approach).

• Look at bike store systems for nonmotorised transport with the development. Also look at the feasibility of the umbrella organisation operating a car share system.

ECONOMICS • Job creation • Foreign direct investment • A place of opportunity • Financial sustainability for region • GDP/GVA • Ensuring key levers exist to attract FDI (e.g. services, infrastructure and incentives for investment).

• Unique value proposition to avoid cannibalising biz from one area to another.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

ALL • Productive

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

DESIGN PRINCIPLES – consistent in all options Principles from the Vision Workshop: • Environmental areas of importance are integrated into the development and maintained and/or improved.

• Our site is fully integrated into the fabric of the city • The Gautrain station area will be designed as a mixed use hub.

• Each part of the development will be designed as a fully functional neighbourhood, with access to amenities and community faciliteis.

• Green linkages define the neighbourhoods and provide urban access to nature.

• Green corridors and high quality public realm are integrated into the neighbourhoods for increased access.

• Cycles routs and pedestrian routes are integrated into the scheme to ensure walkability.

• Founder’s Hill is preserved as a cultural and academic area.

• Development plans are flexible and allow for a mix of uses and incomes.

• A significant amount of public spaces and amenities are maintained to promote social integration.

New Principles from Option Selection Workshop: • Vibrant indoor stations – retail, biz etc. (mixed) where passengers walk thru retail area. Example: Penn Station and Washington DC. • Decentralised water and electricity supply for development given the electricity crisis and potential water crisis SA is facing.

• Improve eco-efficiency = reduce waste and other outputs by development.

• Energy efficiency measures to be implemented in the buildings.

• Reduce ecological footprint.

• Types of education? Public? Private? Tertiary? Technical?

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

We confirmed design principles.

1 – Up, Not Out

We evaluated the options.

2 – Distinct 3 – Linear Cores Neighbourhoods

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS DEVELOPMENT PLANNING “On what basis was the deprivation assessment completed?” Liana Strydom (Development Planning) Action: Atkins to arrange video conference with Socio Economics team to discuss in detail.

OPTION 1: “Option 1 works because density in the form of economic opportnties, people and buildings makes public transport work. It is also in line with the Transformation agenda that CoJ is moving towards.” Ayanda Masuku (Development Planning) “It’s better when the M60 avoids the wetlands.”

“Could be very vibrant.”

“Shortest water bulk line, cheapest infrastructure and good/easier for demand reduction.”

“Best Option.”

“Most density, best economic outputs and best connectivity.”

“Inclusionary housing works best in Option 1.” Ayanda Masuku (Development Planning) “More links to surrounding areas are needed.”

“Be weary about the Eskom power line running through the site. Option 1 is the only one that avoids it.”

OPTION 2: “Strong sense of community in neighbourhoods.”

“Option 2 is not viable as the distance travelled should be short.” Mohini “Communities are fragmented and hard to travel between.”

OPTION 3: “It is private car oriented and not sustainable due to lower densities.”

“Development is too spread out.”

“More green!”

“Routes through site are too long.”

“Very car oriented with a very low density. Option 3 encroaches to much on the green spaces.”

(Note from Atkins: The density is lower in Option 3 than 1&2 but still much higher than the average residential neighbourhood in Joburg.)

(This is an example slide. Please see Option Selection Workshop Report for the full slide deck.)

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS ENVIRONMENT “Are the flood lines certified and the wetlands delineated?”

Lebo Molefe (EISD) Answer: Yes. “We need to review the reports that were used to complete the sensitivity maps.”

Jane Eagle (EISD) Action: Zendai to issue reports Other comments: • How do we code public space?

• How can we regulate regeneration over such a long time span?

• We need to use policy mechanisms to ensure funding goes to the right place. (land trust) • Leticia Potts (Zendai) explained that all the open space will be managed by an Umbrella Organisation. It has already been established. Any business that operates a business or lives in Modderfontein will pay a contribution to the Umbrella Organisation.

The Modderfontein Reserve is already under the ownership of the Umbrella Organisation and is being funded by tenants. The Umbrella Organisation will have charge for design for individual sites as they are developed.

• In projects of this scale, you can’t code all of the environmental areas.

What can we do instead to ensure future delivery team engage and deliver to the principles we have established?

(This is an example slide. Please see Option Selection Workshop Report for the full slide deck.)

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE “There are limits on existing capacity and no expansion plans until 2025. Cogeneration and a proactive plan are both critical.” Hein Schuld (Plantech Associates) .

ECONOMICS “How do we manage to ensure that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that happen when Sandton was developed?” Herman Pienaar (Development Planning) TRANSPORT .

“Public transit can help avoid what happened in Sandton.” Gugu Mbambo (Transportation) “Public transport should be linked to areas of development that investment sectors are likely to target. This could lead to a requirement for 24 hour service.” Beatrice Abil (Economic Development) “We have not looked at rail specifically in the SDF process yet but this discussion might help incorporate it.” Herman Pienaar (Development Planning) Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

(This is an example slide. Please see Option Selection Workshop Report for the full slide deck.)

We understood how to deal with potential obstacles.

BREAK OUT SESSIONS - Environment Most important elements for inclusion in the masterplan

Potential obstacles that might hinder implementation

What we might do to mitigate the obstacle

Maintaining environmental performance & functionality Mapping of environmental potential and status – need to identify where we can make it better as well as where is already good Identifying and respond to impacts – don’t try to pretend there aren’t any Heritage and visual impacts need to be included Understand geohydrology

Lack of stakeholder involvement (including Zendai, CoJ, plot developers) Lack of and/or poor quality of existing and new information; Information Verification Defining Ecological Potential Habitat Restoration costs Transport corridors have to cross the site Competitive demand for land uses Budget constraints upfront

Economic analysis of value added Funding models (c.f. umbrella body) Education and awareness To all stakeholders Developing high quality environment; Maintaining and managing access

Design principles and codes SUDS Integration of ecological and hydrological environment (blue and green) with the built environment Permeability and accessibility for people and ecology Inclusivity Inclusion of all sensitive elements Building and maintaining resilient and robust ecosystems Linkages and synergies

Lack of coding – or lack of respect of codes Misinterpretation/misapplication of principal codes at all scales Lack of institutional memory as staff move on Benchmarks – what is good?; Competency of professional team and authority’s staff Limited experience of projects of this scale Poor investigation, lack of multidisciplinary approach Time and budget constrains Lack of ownership and sense of place; Lack of awareness Landscape architecture need to be core (nearly as important as geohydrology);

Umbrella Body (Independent of Zendai) Management plans Compliance to Framework Enforcement Permits and Licences Maintenance Development of robust codes Review process – what is working and what isn’t?

Inclusive of built and unbuilt environment (not just green space) Prioritisation of implementation of amenities Education for all

Camley Street Natural Park – Kings Cross, London 1950s

TODAY

An urban oasis for wildlife and people • Only 1 hectare • Provides access to nature in a densely populated area • Plays a role in providing a habitat and nursery for wildlife • Plays a role in the property market • Plays a role in reducing noise • Adjacent houses and commercial properties more likely to command higher sale prices • The total ecosystem services value is £2.8 million per annum

Placemaking and the Environment ‘Placemaking’ is paramount in regeneration schemes • A recent report by Savills has highlighted that redevelopment at Kings Cross and Stratford (the 2012 Olympic Park) are already creating vibrant new communities, whilst redevelopment in Paddington worked less well thanks to “little early investment in the wider environment” Our research has shown that the features homeowners value most about their home are not necessarily associated with the building itself, but more with the environment in which it is located

Placemaking and the Environment ‘Placemaking’ is paramount in regeneration schemes Factors such as neighbourhood, safety, greenery and access to amenities are cited as more important than simply building attractive buildings”

These must be created by focussing on the relationship between individual developments and the wider area or in other words ‘placemaking’ Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

Environmental Framework Report (EFR) •

Sets out overall Environmental Principles to guide further development and implementation of the Zendai Modderfontein Masterplan

•

Report provides evidence-base for these Environmental Principles

•

Opportunities and constraints have helped to shape the Masterplan – to be understood and taken into account in detailed planning and design

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Vision • • •

Zendai initiative to invest in Modderfontein is resulting in some important changes to the Vision for the development of the site.

An opportunity to consider how environmental factors (and sustainability) are to be incorporated into the new Vision and Masterplan Complex environmental situation on the site • • •

Environmental legacy from past uses Geohydrology Sensitivities where there are features of value (especially wetlands and grassland habitats)

“The environment is integral to the development of Zendai Modderfontein” Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles •

The Environment Principles recognise that: • In many cities there is a growing disconnect between people and nature • Ecosystem services provide a foundation for human well-being

•

The Environment Principles are: • A means to ensure that environmental factors are incorporated into the new Masterplan • Grouped according to two broad stages of the project cycle – “Strategic Planning” and “Design and Management”

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles - Strategic •

The natural environment (natural and semi-natural habitats, including rivers, wetlands, grasslands and other environmental features) will be treated as a core theme of the development.

• •

•

High biodiversity areas will be identified & safeguarded Open space will be planned, designed and managed to maximise its value Blue and green infrastructure will be given the same importance as more traditional infrastructure

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles - Strategic •

Ecological connectivity will be maintained and enhanced wherever reasonably possible • • •

•

Within Zendai Modderfontein - especially to the Modderfontein Reserve Regionally - especially along river corridors Across roads public transportation routes and associated infrastructure

Where there are proposals for essential infrastructure that impacts on environmentally sensitive receptors and satisfactory alternative solutions cannot be found then consideration will be given to offsetting measures that compensate for the impact.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles - Strategic •

The use of indigenous plants will be promoted in both the public realm and on private property

•

Wetland systems will be properly investigated to the level needed for each design stage

•

Watercourses and wetlands, and their associated vegetation, will be integrated into the overall landscape and restored/ enhanced where possible, to improve their hydrological and ecological function

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles - Strategic •

Water management on the site will apply the principles of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and Water Sensitive Design Systems (WSUD).

•

The project is focused on the reclamation of degraded land which is considered more sustainable than expanding Johannesburg onto pristine greenfield sites.

Development sites will be appropriately investigated and remediated to protect both human health and the environment prior to development.

•

To reduce environmental impacts there will be a commitment to the adoption of sustainable infrastructure wherever practical and at an early stage.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles - Strategic •

To ensure that the these environmental policies and other opportunities and constraints are recognised and incorporated within ongoing plans and designs: •

An “Open Space” Strategy and Plan will be prepared, taking into account the Masterplan’s requirements for urban/infrastructure development

•

Implementation mechanisms, including environmental and design guidelines, will be put in place

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles – Design and Management •

•

Landscaping guidelines and plant palettes will be prepared for the Zendai Modderfontein area that are supportive of water conservation measures and the provision of food sources for foraging birds and insects.

Gautrain Station and the Town Centre provide an opportunity for integration of the built environment with blue-green infrastructure, including the Modderfontein Spruit, the floodplain and the reserve. The design of the Centre will adopt a creative design response which provides for the restoration of the wetland system and its linkages to the systems beyond and an attractive public realm in an urban setting.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environmental Principles – Design and Management •

Wildlife Conservation/Management Plans will be prepared for the Modderfontein Reserve and areas of Open Space (on the Zendai property) and these will be monitored and updated on a regular basis (at least every 5 years) as a tool for implementing the above policies/principles.

•

Urban design guidelines will be prepared that seek to maximise the connectivity of residential areas and their communities to the planned areas of open space and will incorporate “safe by design” principles so that open space is used, valued and protected by residents and visitors.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Mitigation – Geo-hydrology •

•

Complete avoidance of wetlands and watercourses isn’t possible • Connections needed for NMT, public transit and even roads • Valley bottom wetlands and streams are linear features which often extend outside the site – we can’t just go round them.

• Design standards (gradients etc) mean that not all hill slope wetlands can be completely avoided Mitigation approach: • Identify – high level surveys have been done, ongoing programme • Avoid - where possible • Sensitive design approach - next slide • Mitigation - next slide

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Mitigation – Geo-hydrology •

•

•

Zendai can maximise the value of the environmental assets of its landholding (sensitive design approach) • Work with topography, avoid cut-and-fill where possible • Piling in sensitive areas to reduce excavations Mitigation • Preserve flow paths – permeable sub-base for roads • Provide alternative flow paths – gravel/pipes to carry water around foundations to prevent flooding and “groundwater shadows” • SuDS/WSUD to enhance wetland function Compensation • SuDS/WSUD used to provide additional wetland habitat where loss is unavoidable

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Environment – Way Forward/Next Steps Key Objectives • Zendai to maximise the value of the environmental assets of its landholding Way Forward (post Framework Plan approval) • An Open Space Strategy and Plan will be prepared including: • Ecological Grading of Open Space • Integration of the Modderfontein open space network with Regional Open Space • Environmental principles to be incorporated into the next level of planning – Township Establishment Plans

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Transport masterplan conclusions • Space for the provision of transportation infrastructure is limited requiring optimising public transit modes and the combination thereof • The transport network requires roads for public transit as well • A public transport hierarchy caters for both short and long distance travel needs • The number of transfers from one mode to another and passenger travel time kept to a minimum – through one transfer any destination can be reached • The transport Masterplan proposes some high capacity transit systems and the technology will be finalised as development and public transport demand grows • Initial choice of public transit technology along each corridor considers the required frequency and capacity of modes • Technology choice will be based on future technology availability • Pedestrian and cycle paths to be provided on all roads & segregated cycle lanes on Class 3 and 4 roads

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Transport masterplan conclusions • The Modderfontein development is ideal for creating a sustainable transit liveable city high density housing, employment, educational & shopping opportunities and social interaction • The above activities will generate new trips within the area but will generate a significant proportion of internal trips • The land-uses were aimed at balancing supply and demand and optimal all day use of infrastructure i.e. directional flow of people to be balanced and with significant in off-peak demands • Transport use and modal shares depend on the type and quantity of transportation infrastructure that is provided • The success and attractiveness of the development depends on the level of accessibility that can be maintained within and around the area

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Conclusions • Electrical infrastructure to be developed in parallel with the phasing of the development; • No demand trigger points anticipated to happen. Any delay in the primary substation development might cause a trigger point which will need to be addressed; • The electrical infrastructure is going to be built but the capacity on this infrastructure is dependent on the transmission lines supplying Sebenza Substation; • Rooftop PV to be installed in parallel with the phasing on the development; • Rooftop PV to offset the daily demand from the grid; • Ground mounted PV could be built in the AECI land. Conversations already happening and the installed capacity could be round around 60MWp; • For 50% water supply from solar we would require 11% of the total roofs to have Solar Water heating systems installed; • Waste to energy is an option for the energy production mix which can potentially add 17MW to the generation side.

Modderfontein Regeneration Masterplan Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

Next Steps • Discuss further energy efficiency options that could be implemented in the project; • Investigate further the proposed transmission lines to supply the development; • Guidelines for the Energy Efficiency as well as PV installation for the developers building in the Modderfontein land;

Strategic Economic Prospects & Drivers •

Economic growth is slowly recovering reflecting stronger world trade and past depreciation of the Rand

•

However, infrastructure insufficiencies (mostly electricity shortages) are slowing the economy.

•

Exports will rely on manufacturing goods, as commodities remain depressed by low international prices.

•

Infrastructure investment will contribute to growth - providing demand and alleviating bottlenecks.

•

As incomes increase & confidence slowly improves - private domestic demand is projected to pick up.

•

Fiscal policy will remain mildly restrictive, as the government seek to stabilise public debt and contain inflation pressures

•

High levels of inactivity and unemployment add to high inequality - require structural reforms to boost employment creation and make growth more inclusive.

COMMENTS

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Herman Pienaar, Development Planning, CoJ: “We are very happy with the level of detail and rigour apparent in the development of the framework plan and in these presentations.”

Who attended the public engagement sessions?

Key community groups and the general public. Invitations were made in newspapers and social media, as well as directly to key stakeholder groups. Full details can be found in the report.

What is the breakdown of number of units for each phase?

Overall numbers can be found in the Delivery Strategy and details can be found in the Colliers Commercial Report.

The N/W and N/E connections seem to improve permeability on the site. Are there any more opportunities to connect to the S/W? We have linked to every available connection that borders our ownership boundary.

Can the proposed public transit link in with city-wide networks?

Yes, we link to all existing and proposed public transit networks that border our site. The BRT networks in the City of Johannesburg and Ekurheleni are both included.

Have we conducted an EIA as part of this process?

Response: No new EIA’s are needed at this stage. Further EIA’s will be required when precinct plans are produced.

What is the breakdown of the lower income housing provided on-site?

We are in negotiations with CoJ Housing and can provide details of our agreements when consensus has been reached.

What level of detail is being prepared for this planning submission? Is it a township establishment for the entire 1,600 ha?

No, this is only the framework masterplan. Further detail will be submitted at the stage of future planning phases for individual neighbourhoods within the 1600 ha. Township establishments are yet to come and we understand they will require a higher level of detail.

Development sites within the overall 1600 ha should only be released with careful urban design guidelines, so the vision is sure to be maintained.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Emannuel Sotomi, Housing, CoJ: What are the functional socio-economic linkages of this project?

The socio-economic links created by the regeneration of Modderfontein are improved public transit, new pedestrian and cycle connections, more jobs and better access to public realm/parks.

Herman Joubert, Transport: How are we ensuring that the traffic impact on the city is manageable? Busses won’t be enough.

We have developed a traffic model to indicate the level of traffic increase at each stage of this regeneration project.

Public transit plays a role in decreasing demand and new roads are introduced when the model indicates that they are needed. We agree that it is unlikely that busses will provide enough capacity to support the level of density preferred by CoJ. Have you considered the Gauteng Environmental Framework?

We have considered key connections to the wider environmental network that surrounds our site. Most of the connections within our site boundary are made via river corridors. It is likely that these link to the new Gauteng Environmental Framework.

Constand Van Deventer, Urban Dynamics: What is the phasing strategy for social housing?

The framework provides a location for lower income housing in each of the mixed use neighbourhoods and it is therefore phased in throughout the full delivery of the scheme, along with the required community amenities.

What is the difference between the level of detail needed now and later for the environmental work?

The level of detail is consistent with what is needed for a framework plan at this stage. Later when individual sites/neighbourhoods are put forward for further planning approvals, EIA’s will be required.

Even though an EIA is not needed now, please keep the key stakeholders in the loop, so when an EIA is needed, we already understand the context. This will lead to quicker approvals.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS ENVIRONMENT - Summary Herman Joubert, Transport: What is the environmental impact of the landbridge?

We know that the town centre needs a connection between the north and south sites. The landbridge offers the most environmentally friendly intervention as it is not at grade and allows ecological crossings.

The height of the bridge will determine the quality of the space under it, so we are investigating the maximum viable height.

Jane Eagle (EISD): “The detailed design stage, that comes after the framework plan, is really important. We need to ensure that the next round of design work incorporates the ideas and principles from the framework plan appropriately.�

Building on the wetlands is not the norm. This must only be allowed when appropriate justification is given. The normal wetland buffer is 32 meters. This can be increased or decreased depending on the site and the design of the scheme. The actual buffer width for each site should be determined by a detailed study, at the next level of planning approval.

Rehabilitation of non-pristine areas is as important as conserving pristine areas. We have an opportunity to do some rehabilitation on this site. These areas should be highlighted in the a more detailed study after the framework is approved.

In the next stage of work, detailed design will be needed for the landbridge. Ensure the landbridge allows visual and ecological connections. It must also allow natural light and be scaled appropriately.

Make the most of the stormwater and get a team on-board, at the next stage, that can deliver innovative and efficient systems and solutions.

How do we reduce our carbon footprint?

How do we minimize the lose of wildlife?

What is the most important environmental asset?

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS ENVIRONMENT – Detailed notes Province/GDARD:  Question: It is important that environmental issues are incorporated into the plan – as per the presentations - but at what level of detail does the Framework Plan stop and the EIA process start.  Answer: The Framework Plan is strategic and will be subject to modification due to changing circumstances, especially in the longer term. The Framework Plan does not have sufficient detail to provide the basis for one or more EIAs which it is suggested are best carried out at precinct level. The Framework Plan recognises environmental issues and establishes principles and key next steps for addressing the issues.  Response: It will be important to have a good working relationship with GDARD on environmental matters e.g. establish a pre-application process for EIA, with consultation/involvement of Gauteng Province.  Statement (GDARD): A new Environmental Management Framework (EMF) for Gauteng Province was gazetted in June which will be applicable to Zendai Modderfontein.  Answer: Zendai would appreciate a copy of this EMF and will take this into account going forward, especially at the precinct level. (Post-meeting Note – a copy of the EMF was provided by GDARD to Atkins/Zendai on 31 July 2015).

Herman Joubert, Transport:  Question: Town Centre and the connection across the Modderfontein Spruit – is this achievable? The project should not head towards the side of an (immovable) mountain.  Response: Subject to sound environmental (water, ecology, landscape) and engineering studies an elevated connection should be possible in which a restored watercourse and riparian vegetation in the river corridor are valuable (visual and functional) assets to the Town Centre. The water course would be designed and managed to accommodate flooding but public access would be facilitated and ecological connectivity along the river and to the reserve would be retained.

Nevertheless, where there is a compelling case to develop close to Wetlands (<30m), applications will be considered but given careful scrutiny with respect to design details and their approach to restoration of degraded wetlands.  Point 2: Though wetlands have been delineated and sub-catchment studies done, the source of all the ground/surface water on the site and the flow paths are not fully understood (“where does all the water come from and go?”). A geo-hydrological study for the whole site is still required.  Answer: Zendai recognise this, and that the results of the study may affect the details of development for some precincts and infrastructure, and proposes that such a study is done post-approval of the Framework Plan to inform the more detailed development plans.  Point 3: Wetland Buffers. It is suggested that a standard buffer (30m) should be applied to all wetlands, recognising that this can be increased (e.g. to 60m) or decreased subject to detailed requirements and studies.  Answer: Atkins/Zendai understand this and will state this in their Framework Plan, but prefer to show the delineated wetlands as the absolute “no go” zone and then to explore appropriate buffers (e.g. 10m to 30m or 60m) as a part of the Open Space Planning and Precinct Plans. Some of the medium to long term developments are so far in the future and will need review/revision anyway so the exact buffer is not critical at this stage.  Point 4: The principle that much of the site is degraded (from an ecological perspective) is understood. This is typical of Johannesburg and Gauteng Province where most land is degraded, but does not necessarily mean that development of all such degraded areas is acceptable – and there may be areas of non-degraded land. The BioRegional Plan for the CoJ identifies Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs) and Ecological Support Areas that may still be of environmental value and factored into the Framework Plan.  Answer: Atkins/Zendai have looked more closely at the Bio-Regional Plan GIS data provided by CoJ. Though the full meta-data is not readily accessible Atkins/Zendai still believe that the mapping of the CBAs etc was done at such a scale that it cannot be applied directly to the environmental sensitivity maps that have been prepared.

(Post-meeting Note: Atkins/Zendai agreed to meet CoJ Biodiversity/GIS specialists on 30/07/2015 to review the data/situation in more detail).

KEY COMMENTS ENVIRONMENT – Detailed notes   

Point 5: The scale of the proposed crossing/land bridge at the future Town Centre is of some concern e.g. a large dark culvert would not be a good solution. Light, air, safety are all required to make a sustainable solution.

Answer: Atkins/Zendai agree completely that this crossing has to be designed to a very high standard; the soft and hard landscaping and ecological connectivity required mean that this is a very important piece of “Green Infrastructure”.

Point 6: Drainage. Water conservation is a big issue in South Africa. Healthy wetlands need to depend on properly functioning drainage regimes, to factor in uses/pressures from people and play a role in “water efficiency”. How can stormwater serve people and the natural environment (role in hydrological and ecological connectivity) ate the same time? A highly professional team is required to work on the SuDS for the development; there a limited number of local engineers with the necessary experience and Zendai should look at bringing in expertise to assist – including wetlands specialists (i.e. not a task for engineers alone).

Answer: Zendai appreciates the complexity of the stormwater drainage SuDS challenge and will take this point into consideration.

Point 7: Ecological connectivity. The problem of the fence with very limited passageways for animals, that was noticed on the bus trip/site visit associated with the Options Workshop, highlights the need for mechanisms to be found for environmental commitments to be carried through (in this case to maintain ecological connectivity).

Answer: Atkins/Zendai understand this point and that such details need to be addressed both by “Environmental Principles” to be adopted by Zendai and competent EIAs with mitigation for precincts and infrastructure and the active involvement of those managing the Modderfontein Reserve (currently the Endangered Wildlife Trust).

KEY COMMENTS TRANSPORT Herman Joubert, Transport: Can the landbridge help deal with off-peak storage of public transit, when extra trains/busses are not needed?

Yes, there will be extra space for both car parking and pubic transit storage on either side of the park and under the place where the bridge meets the development site. Please see the report for a conceptual section, to better understand the way this will work.

Herman Pienaar, Development Planning, CoJ: We would like a meeting with the transport team and CoJ Transport to discuss the traffic modelling. We need to understand that sufficient connections are being made through the site, as well as within.

What is the impact of freight traffic on the masterplan?

Light-industrial and warehouse land uses have been placed adjacent to roads that allow (and are appropriate for) freight traffic. The traffic model accounts for freight traffic and has confirmed the agreed roads are likely to handle the traffic sufficiently.

We need to ensure that ‘through routes’ don’t become highways that are only used to speed through the site.

We agree. The road network has been designed with placemaking and appropriate road hierarchy in mind. Through routes and internal roads have different land use and density adjacencies. The width and number of directional changes has also been adapted to encourage or discourage speed as appropriate. Areas where large trucks and service vehicles are prevalent, has been matched with roads to link to the major roads adjacent to the site, and do not require passage through residential neighbourhoods.

We must replace ineffective transport with efficient and accessible public transport.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE Herman Pienaar, Development Planning, CoJ: Have we included other new development in our capacity study?

Yes, we have included other new development that we are aware of.

Have we met with Joburg Water to agree a strategy?

Yes, Joburg Water is supportive of our approach but does not have funding to produce a new water masterplan at this time.

We must confirm that we have up-to-date information on supply timelines. There are delays sometimes.

Are there additional green/renewable systems that could be considered?

We must ensure any upgrades that are required actually happen and keep pace with the delivery of new development.

Victor Chewe (Joburg Water): Upgrades to the water supply are coming and will support this masterplan.

Very little wind is available on-site for wind turbines.

Municipalities should be investing in renewable power.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE Jane Eagle (EISD): Short term tie-ins to existing sewer system do not always work well and sometimes cause overflow. We must avoid this. Has consideration been given to an onsite treatment plant?

Arup met with Johannesburg Water (JW) to discuss the sewer aspects of the development. The Modderfontein site is well served by a large diameter sewer outfall running through the valley of the catchment and sewage discharges from the site have already been incorporated into the JW sewer masterplan for the area (the masterplan does however need to be reviewed and possibly updated for the current scale of development). Considering that JW has already invested heavily in infrastructure to collect sewage produced on the site, it makes sense to use this connection. Furthermore JW stated that there is a new 150 MLD sewage treatment plant planned near Lanseria airport that would alleviate potential capacity issues at the Northern Wastewater Treatment plant. Nonetheless, onsite sewage treatment has not been ruled out and is being considered as part of the medium to long term strategy with due consideration of: • Required land take in a suitable location and of a suitable size.

• The need for a critical mass of people (a plant is not viable in the short term when sewage production is low).

• Complexities around operating a high tech piece of equipment and where the responsibilities lie for operating the plant.

• The potential to recover and use treated sewage effluent for irrigation of landscaped areas.

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES Herman Pienaar, Development Planning, CoJ: “Design is not about what it looks like but how it functions and this is apparent in the design guidelines you have shared with us and the examples you have used.”

The city is transforming towards design that encourages public transit.

Best practice and international examples can really help us shape the future Johannesburg.

We must get the urban design right. Landscape design is often used to cover up poor urban design. Modderfontein is and opportunity to get both right.

“We must incorporate the principles of the design guidelines now, so when the work is implemented in the future, our intentions are still clear.”

Anton Comrie, Landscape Architect: How can the environment be linked into the urban design guidelines?

We often design the landscape guidelines in parallel to the urban design guidelines. This allows appropriate integration.

Parking requirements often hinder the public realm – what can be done?

We have proposed a lower minimum provision of parking in Modderfontein. If this is approved, we might be able to provide less parking, as supported by our public transit strategy.

How do you ensure the residential design works on the inside?

We often design indicative layouts to ensure appropriate building widths for internal design.

How is local culture incorporated?

We often work with local design teams.

Emannuel Sotomi, Housing, CoJ: Is there a method to determine how much low value housing is supported by a certain amount of high value housing?

This is a delicate balance and will be reviewed when overall quantity of housing types are agreed with CoJ. Commercial considerations will factor into this discussion.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS COMMERCIAL ECONOMICS Emannuel Sotomi, Housing, CoJ: Working from home might effect our overall office provision.

Continuous engagement is needed with CoJ housing.

We must establish a model for how much social housing is viable based on the overall commercial assessment.

Waterfall ran past us. We want Modderfontein to take us with them (in the planning process).

Johannesburg’s CBD is disorganized and crowed. We must do better at Modderfontein.

Herman Pienaar, Development Planning, CoJ: The city wants more lower market accommodation.

We want to plan for the ‘median’ income level.

Getting a mortgage is a bigger issue for most – bigger than affordability.

What makes Modderfontein special? Unique land uses? Niche market?

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

KEY COMMENTS SOCIO-ECONOMICS Liana Strydom, Development Planning, CoJ: “We seem to have reached an agreement on the masterplan and things seem to have settled into the right locations.

However, the illustration of the displacement calculations must be clear.”

The Airport Corridor of Freedom was identified as part of the SDF process and it is not yet confirmed.

We must illustrate how the offering at Modderfontein is different than other nodes in Johannesburg – we must diversify.

Emannuel Sotomi, Housing, CoJ: Expand the local study area and get more specific about areas such as Alexandra and Sandton.

Herman Pienaar, Development Planning, CoJ: Make sure the outcomes of the study are manifested in the Framework Masterplan.

Can we make a direct link with SME? Define the income level and job level of the new jobs we have shown. (Who are they really for?)

Renewables offer significant impact in terms of jobs and economic uplift due to new facilities and implementation staffing.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

MASTERPLAN COMMENTS Give us your thoughts…

Where can we find information about municipal services (health clinics, libraries, sports fields, swimming pools, rec facilities, community halls, public schooling, religious facilities and other social services)?

At the stage of the framework masterplan, we have identified the neighbourhoods/locations of the community facilities and schools. Please see diagram called ‘Community’. The amount of community facilities and schools will be determined by population, which will be confirmed when the framework plan is approved and detailed design begins at the next stage.

We need the links to neighbouring areas. More than physical links – we also need socio-cultural links like agriculture and economic activity.

When urban design guideline are required, review the Energy Efficiency Guidelines, Sustainable Human Settlement Index and Building Regulations for some minimum requirements applicable to CoJ. Include green elements and sustainability elements. Align to GDS204 principles.

Integrating planning between work streams is important.

Sustainability and resilience principles in infrastructure is important.

A regional attenuation pond could be useful.

When rivers and wetlands are crossed, try to use underpasses, span bridges, other infiltration/mechanisms that enable/promote infiltration should be incorporated into the design.

Pedestrian and cycle lanes, taxi ranks, and landscaping should all be done at the same time.

Should be incorporated into planning upfront.

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

MASTERPLAN COMMENTS Give us your thoughtsâ&#x20AC;Ś Zendai and CoJ should have a GIS session to check alignment of layers.

Include sustainability principles.

Offsets are not always implemented properly, so there is a negative perception towards the process.

GDARD has plans to write environmental guidelines.

At least two major parks will be needed. One in the north and one in the south.

This will serve the higher density residential development.

The Gautrain Station is one of the most urgent pieces of infrastructure to be provided for Modderfontein from a Transportation point of view. Not only will the station make Modderfontein more accessible, but it will lend the area more gravity as a destination. The station is expected to act as a catalyst for first development to occur and will draw pioneering tenants to establish within the area.

There is currently an undertaking with the Bombella concession to provide a station at Modderfontein. The Bombella concession expands over a 15 year period of which 5 years have expired. It is therefore imperative that the station is designed and built within a shorter timeframe rather than a longer one to avoid having to renegotiate the opportunity to provide a station with a future concession.

As a starting point the transportation strategy needs to be carefully coordinated with transport network planning by provincial and local planning and transportation authorities. This includes provincial roads planning (including K routes and PWV routes) as well as public transport planning i.e. Rea Vaya by COJ Transport and the Tembisa to Boksburg BRT on Zuurfontein Road by EMM. Modderfontein planning needs to make the most of this infrastructure, by linking into it as far as possible.

COJ have appointed consultants to develop a public transport plan for the North East Johannesburg area. These consultants needs to be informed of the planning for Modderfontein so it could be incorporated into the wider area planning.

Zendai can provide infrastructure on land which they own. However this is not the case on third party land. Transport links between Modderfontein and surrounding areas such as Tembisa should be facilitated where possible with the support of local authorities; The K113 and Centenary Road will provide access for the development of existing planning rights including Longlake, Pinelands and Westlake and is therefore required within the short term; As the first stages of development starts to role out supporting access and internal roads will need to be provided. A link from the K113 to the first residential phase of the Modderfontein North residential development is required as well as Mastiff Road.

Pedestrian and cycle infrastructure will be developed simultaneously with the role out of the development and road network.

Within 10 years 

    

The success of Gautrain is dependent on supporting transport facilities such as vehicle parking, road linkages and bus services. Due to the fall of the land, limited cutting and the proximity of the Gautrain to the green area to the north, all of the supporting transport facilities cannot be provided on the southern side of the Gautrain line.

The proposed land bridge provides more space for supporting transport facilities within close proximity of the station and is therefore an opportunity to address the limited space issue. At this stage the southern town centre will be in place which will require strong public transport support.

Further role out of the internal road network will be required to serve additional phases of the development; Metro rail services will be highly beneficial to Modderfontein during its later development phases. Further / more detailed exploration of bringing Metro rail serves into Modderfontein should be explored; At this stage Modderfontein North will require access from another direction. This can be provided by extending Marlboro Road further to the east, across the conservancy area; Enough demand will at this stage be established to start introduce local bus services / mid capacity public transport to provide people the opportunity and to get people into the habit of using public transport.

Pedestrian and cycle infrastructure will be developed simultaneously with the role out of the development and road network.

At this stage both the town centre to the south and Modderfontein North is expected to have developed enough gravity in terms of demand that will warrant the proposed High Capacity Transport HCT system proposed. This system needs to be implemented, creating a north south link. Together with the HCT system, a road link, pedestrian and cycle link needs to be provided.

Modderfontein North will require the first full east west link to provide access options from surrounding road networks It is expected that the warehouse and light industry uses adjacent to Zuurfontein Road will be well developed. To take advantage of the potential opportunities associated with direct linkage to the Aerotropolis area, it is proposed that the K115 is constructed; Kempton Park road will be required to provide additional east west linkage to and from Kempton Park. This road will provide a direct link from Kempton Park to the proposed town centre; The internal road network will be rolled out further to facilitate access to new development.

Additional bus services / mid capacity transport needs to be rolled out and integrated with the HCT that have been provided; Pedestrian and cycle infrastructure will be developed simultaneously with the role out of the development and road network.

Not before 20 years   

Within the longer term, depending on the development densities achieved, a second north south link between Modderfontein North and the town centre would be required; A rail llink to Johannesburg City Centre should be seriously considered to tap into the extensive Metro rail network that provides vast coverage of Gauteng urban areas; General traffic growth will require strategic linkage within Gauteng. The PWV 3 provides this linkage between the N3 and the R21 freeways addressing a critical east west demand within Gauteng.

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

DELIVERY STRATEGY -- ECONOMICS Key Tasks

Don’t forget to assign an order to the actions, if they need to happen in a certain sequence.

First 5 Years •

The Precinct Plan for the town centre should include analysis of issues such as engineering implications of land bridge and other options, and implications for other commercial hubs such as Sandton.

•

Completion of Longlake is the first development priority outside the town centre. Mixture of residential, light industrial, offices and retail. The same design guidelines should be applied there as are to be applied to the rest of the development. The opportunity should be taken to punch roads through to ensure east-west linkages across the development.

•

It is envisaged that residential units across the whole development will be developed at a steady pace c.1 -1,500 units per annum.

•

CoJ has aspiration for 30% of the residential to be affordable to people below median income.

•

Development of the light industrial-office zone on Allandale Road will also be a next priority.

•

Big support for Surf Lagoon and Downhill Sports Centre!

•

Establishment of a Modderfontein Development Agency – a partnership of key public sector organisations that co-ordinates and oversees the work needed by the public sector in working with Zendai to deliver the infrastructure and facilitate planning. It needs a small staff. THIS IS AGREED TO BE A MAJOR PRIORITY

•

The first development at the town centre should be planned to coincide with construction of the Gautrain station.

•

It should be a landmark that anchors the development and signposts the vision and intent, with enough critical mass to make the investment in infrastructure worthwhile.

•

It is envisaged as featuring a striking tower building. The idea of it being called something like World Trade Centre or Africa Trade Centre was supported. There could be a special emphasis on attracting tenants from China and other growing trading partners. It requires at least one large anchor tenant. It is also envisaged that the first phase of the town centre will include substantial residential in apartments (perhaps 5,000 units)

After First 5 Years •

Completion of Gautrain Station and key infrastructure improvements (especially road and electricity) shortly after 5 years, with development of phase 1 of town centre in similar time frame.

•

The overall Framework will need to be amended roughly every five years to take changing circumstances over time.

Objective – Planning, Design and Management of the Environment (i.e. many of the next environmental steps are not about building/actions on the ground).

Key Message – “Environment is Part of the Solution not Part of the Problem” • Establish good working relationships with authorities and institutions – on planning and permitting matters • Review of Masterplan/Framework to consider potential environmental and heritage impacts/issues e.g. road alignments, infrastructure proposals, development locations. (Suggest adjustments to these if required).

• Prepare Open Space Strategy including:o standards, taking Modderfontein context into account and o accessibility/connectivity o use of a 3-D Terrain Model so that topography can factored in e.g. for pedestrian and cycle routes • Ensure Conservation Management Plan is under preparation for Reserve with participation of Zendai • Stormwater Management Plan for Whole Site (Update/Complete) • Engagement with catchment stakeholders e.g. with respect to: o Water quality improvements • Prepare Environmental and Sustainability Guidelines to dovetail (link) with Urban Design Guidelines • Prepare EIAs for Precinct Level Plans • Prepare Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) for both “Development/Construction” and “Operational” phases of the Modderfontein “project” • Prepare Landscape Development Plans at Precinct Level (Green infrastructure, cycle lanes, footpaths) • Prepare Biodiversity Codes (matrices) – taking into account that there should be integration of these into the built/urban form) • Start implementing Open Space Strategy • Plan and start implementation of rehabilitation programmes e.g.

• Gypsum dump • Wetlands • Riparian zones (habitat restoration) – especially at the Gautrain Modderfontein Station where this task needs to be undertaken in preparation for the development of an attractive Town Centre • Establish system and programme of regular audits of the project and of the site’s environmental/ecological status (self/independent or combination?)

Engage with Prasa to develop possible opportunities to connect Modderfontein to the Metro Rail network; As land use planning changes over time or is updated, transport demand and supply should be recalculated to ensure that the proposed infrastructure can accommodate the number of trips; Develop a working document where the operational aspects of public transport is constantly reviewed to achieve a system designed towards the comfort and convenience of the end user. This includes: Operational hours of the services (also operational off peak hours) Critical review of the number of stops / transfers proposed along a route to avoid waiting time; Consider appropriate operational speed and distance for each service type.

Consider the strategy and role out of minibus taxi infrastructure within the short medium and long term. Provide laybyes along strategic routes, ranking areas within town centre areas and appropriate holding areas; Continue the design of the Gautrain Station within Modderfontein and how road linkage and secondary public transport linkage can be provided; As new developments occur, linkage to these developments from strategic routes should be provided together with internal / access routes servicing specific properties; Explore and agree with COJ end EMM how Modderfontein road and public transport linkages can be linked to adjacent areas such as Thembisa, Kempton Park and Linbro Park; To ensure that tenants, residents and visitors to Modderfontein gets into the habit of using public transport from the start, temporary public transport services i.e. shuttle services should be considered; Continue the role out of key road links including K113 and Centenary Road to open development opportunities.

Start with your key tasks from yesterday. What needs to happen to ensure these actions are achieved?

• The Precinct Plan for the town centre should include analysis of issues such as engineering implications of land bridge and other options, and implications for other commercial hubs such as Sandton.

• Completion of Longlake is the first development priority outside the town centre. Mixture of residential, light industrial, offices and retail. The same design guidelines should be applied there as are to be applied to the rest of the development. The opportunity should be taken to punch roads through to ensure east-west linkages across the development.

• It is envisaged that residential units across the whole development will be developed at a steady pace c.1 -1,500 units per annum.

• CoJ has aspiration for 30% of the residential to be affordable to people below median income.

• Development of the light industrial-office zone on Allandale Road will also be a next priority.

• Big support for Surf Lagoon and Downhill Sports Centre!

• Establishment of a Modderfontein Development Agency – a partnership of key public sector organisations that co-ordinates and oversees the work needed by the public sector in working with Zendai to deliver the infrastructure and facilitate planning. It needs a small staff. THIS IS AGREED TO BE A MAJOR PRIORITY • The first development at the town centre should be planned to coincide with construction of the Gautrain station.

• It should be a landmark that anchors the development and signposts the vision and intent, with enough critical mass to make the investment in infrastructure worthwhile.

• It is envisaged as featuring a striking tower building. The idea of it being called something like World Trade Centre or Africa Trade Centre was supported. There could be a special emphasis on attracting tenants from China and other growing trading partners.

It requires at least one large anchor tenant. It is also envisaged that the first phase of the town centre will include substantial residential in apartments (perhaps 5,000 units)

Modderfontein Regeneration Final Workshop July 2015

MODDERFONTEIN REGENERATION

ESID Meeting: July 30, 2015 Present: Robert Whitcombe (Atkins); Sonja Venter (Zendai); Livhuwani Nevhutalu (Senior Specialist, Biodiversity and Conservation Management, Environmental Management Department); Tshilidzi Tshimange (EISD); Jane Eagle (EISD) – 2nd part of meeting (her own meeting was cancelled).

Objective: The objective of the meeting was to discuss the GIS datasets, especially those associated with the City of Jo’burg Bio-Regional Plan (Final Draft, October 2011) that CoJ had given to Zendai/Atkins. Jane Eagle had advised that Livhuwani was very familiar with these data layers and the underlying attributes that inform them. Jane had expressed her concern, at this week’s Workshop, that use should have been made of this information to inform the No Go/Open Space layer that is being proposed in the latest Mdf development framework.

Discussion: LN stated that the various layers are a decision support tool – and are indicative. In particular, they guide what should be looked at more closely during the conduct of an EIA. They tell the user, at a crude level, which are the natural, degraded and non-natural areas and whether they are Critical Biodiversity Areas or Ecological Support Areas. Efforts should be made by projects to avoid particular sites (“conflict areas”) or to study them further. The Bio-Regional Plan mapping, based on satellite imagery, was not supposed to be applicable at a site specific scale but to provide guidance as to what might be expected. The data comes from the C-Plan (Conservation Plan) of GDARD and the detailed layers/attributes have to be provided by GDARD. The participants (CoJ/Atkins/Zendai) examined and made comparisons, on computer screens, of (i) the land cover/biodiversity mapping (Critical Biodiversity Area 1, 2 and associated layers) of various areas of the Zendai Mdf site (i.e. the GIS datasets used and provided by CoJ) and (ii) the GIS outputs of the Oryx Environmental Study (and the Specialist Report prepared by EkoInfo/W.H. de Frey), especially those used to generate the Vegetation, Sensitivity and Open Space Maps presented in the Workshops. Features such as the Gypsum Dump sites are visible on both sets of maps – i.e.

“Transformed” areas.

However, the CoJ data (which come from GDARD) tended to show more Natural and CBA classification than the “Oryx” vegetation mapping; the latter showed quite large areas of pasture, old fields, exotics etc. The latter was based on fieldwork over much of the site.

LN showed some of the attribute data that are available (but it was mostly in annotated codes about fauna, plant species etc and the full information is not immediately accessible to Zendai). He explained that it was this kind of information that had informed the CoJ Bioregional Plan with its rather large areas of land zoned as Critical Biodiversity Area 1, etc.

LN advised that the key points for CoJ EISD, with respect to the Zendai Mdf site, are the Wetlands and the Koppies (granite out crops and associated vegetation). These represent the key critical habitats and should be linked wherever possible by either suitable natural and/or degraded habitats. Ecological Support Areas (ESA 1) are potential links (corridors) believed to be of natural habitat, whilst ESA 2 are links of non-natural/degraded habitat. The main effort should be on identifying the habitats of importance – in their own right and taking into account their potential as biological corridors (connectivity). CoJ EISD emphasised that the width of wetlands was critical also – if too narrow they are treated like a ditch. Similarly wetlands and buffer zones can also be critical - the buffers must be sufficient to protect the habitat and/or the hydrology.

The mapping has been done primarily at Province Level by taxonomic specialists in various groups (plants, birds, insects) as a part of their daily job; representative habitats are targeted (in the field) by the specialists to inform the Conservation and Bio-regional Plans. More detailed GIS data should be available from GDARD, but Zendai may have to pay for it. It is worth talking to the specialists who have done some of the surveys e.g. Craig WhittingtonJones (Birds) and Lorraine Mills (Plants). They can give more information on the distribution of particular species of importance that are known to occur on the Zendai areas.

ESID Meeting: July 30, 2015 JE recognised that the whole site was not going to be “saved” for conservation and that much would be developed but it was important to identify the critical habitats and corridors for key species – maintaining ecological connectivity is the key “compromise” for biodiversity. The process for achieving this is not well defined – at what stages are particular levels of detail dealt with? An environmental objective for the CoJ is the adoption of a Spatial Framework that can be verified/refined at precinct then detailed site plan level.

LN advised that the broad data from C-Plan is useful but more detailed knowledge from specialists and others who know the site are required to give spatial definition. Over-reliance on C-Plan at this scale may result in protecting the wrong areas.

Conclusions: Atkins/Zendai believed that the Framework Plan had identified the key ecological and hydrological areas in the (indicative) “open space” figure and this should be sufficient for the Framework Plan to be approved. However, they recognised that an important next step would be the preparation of the Open Space Strategy and Plan that (i) responded to the proposed locations of urban development and infrastructure and (ii) took in to account the more detailed biodiversity data of GDARD/C-Plan and their specialists plus records of those with detailed knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Zendai Modderfontein site i.e. the Endangered Wildlife Trust and the Modderfontein Conservation Society. Together they could contribute to a Community Biodiversity Mapping exercise (using GIS) to inform the Open Space Strategy and Precinct level EIA’s.

Post-Script – Wetland Delineations: Afterwards RW, SV and TT went to meet Emma Netshululu (EISD – with GIS capability) who has been assisting with use of the data that CoJ received from Zendai in relation to CoJ’s own wetland data sets. She will be examining this on behalf of EISD to make sure that the wetland delineation exercise covers all areas of the site and that there are no critical gaps. (SV is intending to do the same exercise for Zendai). Zendai explained how the Wetland layer was comprised of the results of a number of different studies by different specialists for different parts of the site at different times. Zendai believed that they were based on more fieldwork than the Level I and Level II wetland layers used by CoJ and for this reason were used as the basis for the indicative open space layer.

Housing Meeting: July 30, 2015 Present: Emannuel Sotomi, CoJ Housing Simon – Social housing JOSCHCO liaison, CoJ Moses – Research, CoJ Lucy – QS, civil engineer, CoJ Deputy Director – Land acquisition, CoJ Herman Pienaar, CoJ Development Planning Leticia Potts, Zendai Mr. Du, Zendai Joy Zang, Zendai Nico Barnard, Zendai Michael Inglesby, Colliers David Geddes, Colliers Margot Orr, Atkins Richard Coburn, Atkins Objective: Understand lower income housing objectives of the CoJ. Discussion: • We need to fully understand the make-up of each category of those defined in SA as in ‘need’. ‘Social housing’ is only one part of a bigger picture of need. CoJ agreed to provide us with details on the three key groups which make up need and the eligibility criteria for each supported group. They also agreed to give us information on the waiting list for these groups. (Action for Simon, CoJ) • CoJ expect to make reasonable contribution to CAPEX for providing public housing – including build cost and infrastructure. 160,000 rand per unit subsidy was mentioned, as well as the inclusion of a ‘Shared Ownership’ type model (based on the UK model).

• Overall % of lower income housing that CoJ are targeting is 30% of new developments. 10% is envisioned as ‘social housing’ and the remaining 20% could be a combination of GAP/Flisp and Shared Ownership. Herman agreed to issue a detailed breakdown of their request. (Action for Herman, CoJ) • Inclusion policy is the key driver (Simon, CoJ to issue 2009 version) • CoJ’s aspirations are for integrated housing and layout design including vertical mix. When asked for examples of success in South Africa, this could not be provided. Reference made to NYC, London and Netherlands.

• Despite CoJ statement of aspirations, there is an understanding from the City that the development must ‘work’ (from a viability perspective) and that negotiation and agreement is expected.

• Zendai will negotiate with CoJ around quantity, tenant type and location within the Development.

Conclusion: 1.

Zendai to evaluate the commercial side of the lower income housing targets.

2. CoJ to supply materials discussed in the meeting to Zendai (noted above).

3. Zendai to arrange a follow up meeting to conclude the negotiation.

Socio-economics Meeting: July 30, 2015 Present: Ravi Naidoo (ED: Economic Development) Herman Pienaar, CoJ Development Planning Leticia Potts, Zendai Joy Zang, Zendai Nico Barnard, Zendai Michael Inglesby, Colliers David Geddes, Colliers Margot Orr, Atkins Richard Coburn, Atkins Objective: Present update on masterplan process (including the preferred option) and the socio-economic background of the economic discussion.

Discussion: David Geddes presented update on commercial assessment for the preferred option.

Richard Coburn presented socio-economics study completed on the preferred option.

Key questions from CoJ: • How do we factor in the vacancies in the CBD? Does this effect the commercial assessment? (20% office vacancy and 16.5% average vacancy rates) • How many new markets can we open within this project? Providing new economies might limit displacement. The educational campus is a good example of this.

• How do we ensure that what we agree now is actually delivered over the life of the project?

• The city needs to promote balance. We need a better understanding of the methodology around the displacement assumptions.

• What happens if the economy goes flat for 5 years? How does this change our action plan and the effect on the city?

(Action for technical team to incorporate comments into the final report) Technical team would like more information regarding long term policy aspirations and how CoJ will assess diversified growth from an economic point of view. (Action for CoJ) Key messages to technical team: 1. demonstrate economic added-value 2. outline method for minimal displacement 3. provide high level economic impact / net value-added to JoBurg economy

Conclusion: 1. CoJ to issue information noted above 2. Technical team to incorporate comments into the final report

GDARD Meeting: July 31, 2015 Present: Robert Whitcombe (RW, Atkins - on behalf of Zendai); Anton Comrie (AC, Green Inc – on behalf of Zendai); Marc Leroy (ML, Control Environmental Officer: Grade A. Environmental Planning and Impact Assessment). Gauteng Province Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD).

Objective: The main objective of the meeting was to learn more about and obtain a copy of the Gauteng Provincial (GPEMF) that was gazetted on 22nd May 2015 (NOTICE 1655 OF 2015).

Discussion: ML had previously met Zendai representatives from China, perhaps a year or so ago, and is aware of the project.

The approach to Environmental Assessment for Zendai Modderfontein was briefly discussed. Basic Assessments (EIA’s) are undertaken for infrastructure and may be required for precinct level approvals; EIA’s are normally undertaken for project “sites” within precincts. ML mooted whether a Strategic Environmental Assessment might be undertaken but was not clear of the legal requirement for this. RW pointed out that numerous environmental studies had been carried out on the site, some dating back to 2005. Atkins (as a part of the current Framework Plan) has been undertaking an environmental appraisal of the proposed development; this will be reported as an Environmental Management Framework). Atkins hopes that this should be sufficient for approval of the Framework Plan by CoJ and/or Gauteng Province.

The new GPEMF categorises land in Gauteng into Five Zones – the previous EMF adopted 16 zones. The GPEMF sets out what Development and land-uses s are compatible, conditionally compatible and undesirable with respect to the EMF. The Five Zones are:  Zone 1 – Urban Development zone  Zone 2– High Control zone (within the urban development zone2  Zone 3 – High Control zone (outside the urban development zone  Zone 4 – Normal Control Zone  Zone 5 - Industrial and large commercial focus zone There are also “Protected areas”.

ML advised that It is important to read through and understand the GPEMF and its implications for the project. There is a .pdf report covering each of the zones and GIS mapping and data illustrating the zones; the latter requires ArcReader software (note there may be compatibility issues – attributable to ESRI the software developer).

ML advised that the zone descriptions for each potential use should be considered.

The EMF is a planning and design “Decision Support Tool” – as is the latest version of Gauteng’s C-Plan for which the data was compiled by GDARD staff and other specialists. C- Plan does get updated from time-to-time, but the data layers of where plants and birds are found are not absolutely current and are not provided to the public. Nevertheless, Zendai should be able to obtain the habitat data that is available.

There are other data sets (decision support tools) that GDARD and the public may use, in particular:  Zones around known dump sites (shown on GDARD GIS layers) – with accompanying restrictions regarding development;  Ridges layer + 200m buffer – copy of this GIS layer provided by GDARD to Atkins/Zendai.

The Zendai Modderfontein Environmental Framework needs to factor in the policies of GDARD with respect to various features such as the Ridge Layer.

GDARD provided Atkins with publicly viewable layers including the Ridgelines plus 200m buffers – and also guidelines.

The GPEMF is only a guide for potential occurrence of sensitive habitat, fauna, flora etc. It does not replace the need for individual studies at Masterplan/precinct level.
