So the earliest starting time might be in 2027,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first phase will focus exclusively on the Highlands Drive site, delivering 354 housing units to kick-start the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-poor-beneficiary-response\">Poor beneficiary response<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A major concern emerged when only 128 of 300 contacted beneficiaries signed subsidy application forms, with 172 failing to respond to the call-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consultants are now making telephonic contact with non-respondents to establish why they didn&#8217;t attend the sign-up process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subcouncil chair Solomon Philander immediately called for another 300 names to be released from the waiting list to ensure sufficient beneficiaries for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We cannot say in Mitchell&#8217;s Plain we only got 120 people, and there&#8217;s a long waiting list of people waiting for a house. So the 300 is obviously insufficient,&#8221; Philander stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/flow-of-water-communications-give-councillors-headaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ALSO READ: Flow of water communications give councillors headaches<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A debate erupted over proposals to change the 2019 cut-off date for the housing waiting list, with officials suggesting some residents who moved to the area after 2019 are not reflected on current lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The allocations committee has asked housing officials to consider incorporating these additions, but Philander strongly rejected any changes to the cut-off date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I do not support the revisiting of the cut-off date of 2019 because what&#8217;s happening now, people from Mitchell&#8217;s Plain will be excluded from this housing opportunity,&#8221; Philander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warned that changing the cut-off date would allow people from other areas to move to Mitchell&#8217;s Plain specifically to access housing opportunities, jumping ahead of residents who have been waiting 30-40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Someone moved in just three to five years ago and now they will be flagged to get a house in Mitchell&#8217;s Plain, which is unfair to our people,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disruption-mitigation\">Disruption mitigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a positive development, officials confirmed that beneficiaries themselves will help safeguard the construction site once work begins, with some councillor representation on the security committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach aims to prevent the community disruptions that have plagued previous housing projects in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philander emphasised the need to protect the project from community interference, referencing previous developments that were disrupted by protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/cape-town-plots-rail-revolution-with-ambitious-takeover-bid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IN OTHER NEWS: Cape Town plots rail revolution with ambitious takeover bid<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We cannot every time stop projects in Mitchell&#8217;s Plain.

that such disruptions ultimately hurt residents who have been waiting decades for housing opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-approval-delays\">Approval delays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional delays stem from the need for application approvals at provincial level, which require both project approval and funding alignment before provincial authorities will grant the necessary permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Ross admitted they cannot secure approvals without that critical application being processed first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He committed to calling a meeting with all councillors before making any decisions about the waiting list cut-off date, ensuring unified political support for whatever approach is adopted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
