We support an LSDF that balances smart growth, community needs, and environmental protection.
What is the LSDF?
The Local Spatial Development Framework (LSDF) is the blueprint for Big Bay’s future—a long-term plan that dictates what gets built, what changes, and who benefits.
Our homes – Will development respect the community’s character?
Our roads – Can infrastructure handle rapid growth?
Our public spaces – Will they be protected or privatized?
5 Storey buildings ? The LSDF could open the door to unchecked density.
More congestion? Roads and services may not keep up.
Less public space? Key areas could be rezoned for private use.
ERF11117 - A massive development risk with unclear plans, potential high-density housing, and no guaranteed infrastructure support.
This plan is being shaped RIGHT NOW—but without proper community consultation and it will impact:
Our Green Spaces & Coastal Public Land
Public recreational spaces could be reallocated. Environmental impact on coastal and dune areas
ERF1117
A last remaining coastal site – A rare chance to get development right.
Critical biodiversity & wetlands – Home to endangered species that must be protected.
Borders Blaauwberg Nature Reserve – A natural extension, not a site for urban sprawl.
A gateway to Big Bay – Needs world-class, sustainable planning.
Our Residential Estates & Homeowners
Higher-density housing developments could increase population pressure
Short-term rentals and investor-driven properties may rise
Potential financial burden on homeowners for infrastructure costs
Our Roads
Otto du Plessis Drive & Coastal Roads
Proposed road expansions and new intersections could increase congestion
Infrastructure upgrades are unclear
Our Area
Eden on the Bay & Surrounding Areas
More commercial growth = more congestion
Short-term rentals could shift the area away from a residential balance
Parking shortages and overcrowding may worsen
These aren’t hypothetical risks—they’re real possibilities based on the LSDF’s vague wording and lack of clear commitments.
By the time you notice the changes, it will be too late to stop them.
