We will be counting on the support and collaboration of our local community,\u201d said Andrews. \u201cWe will do everything we can to mitigate the impact\u2026 a project of this magnitude will cause inconveniences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"InfoBlock\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_0089ebb0\">\n<div class=\"heading\">Andrews explained the areas which would be upgraded.<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<h3>Ablution facility<\/h3>\n<p>The existing ablutions will be demolished and rebuilt in the same architectural style just landwards of the revetment, opening up more beach space.<\/p>\n<p>The new facility will be located at the central shower plaza area and universal access parking will be provided in the central area at the ablution.<\/p>\n<p>The facility will be universally accessible with family changing rooms and wheelchair accessible showers.<\/p>\n<h3>Playground<\/h3>\n<p>The pergola will be demolished and rebuilt further landward to allow for the construction and setback of the new revetment structures and promenade.<\/p>\n<h3>Pergola<\/h3>\n<p>The existing playground will be upgraded with a kelp forest theme and will include a universal access ramp and interactive play equipment for children with various abilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Paved areas<\/h3>\n<p>The surfaces landwards of the new promenade will be surfaced with clay pavers matching the existing colours and style.<\/p>\n<h3>Station forecourt<\/h3>\n<p>The forecourt will be refurbished to make it more pedestrian friendly. Parking for people with special needs and a universally accessible ramp to access the promenade will also be located in this area.<\/p>\n<h3>Beach huts<\/h3>\n<p>All eight huts will be relocated to the central plaza, as opposed to on either side of the main plaza, and thus serve as a wind shelter for the central shower area.<\/p>\n<h3>Buildings<\/h3>\n<p>The existing NGO buildings will remain, this means those who are currently operating from the beachfront will keep on doing so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere existing buildings are refurbished or demolished, these will be rebuilt in a style similar to the existing buildings to ensure we retain the heritage value, look and feel of Muizenberg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce the construction has started, there will be an impact on beachgoers and businesses along Beach Road, as well as the surrounding areas. Those who operate from the Muizenberg beachfront \u2013 be it private businesses or NGOs \u2013 must please plan ahead, and consider the anticipated impact on their operations,\u201d said Andrews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately visitors will have less parking while construction is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Cape Town has announced a major
