One
Planet Living® South
Africa:
Emerging Project – Sibaya Precinct, Durban, South Africa
| Developers
THDev propose to follow the ten One Planet Living principles
to sensitively develop and conserve valuable parts of
the Sibaya precinct which is about 25km north of central
Durban. Sibaya comprises some 885 hectares, comprising
mostly agricultural land and also the Ohlanga River and
floodplain, grassland, the Hawaan Forest and the Mhlanga
Forest. |
|
 |
| |
| The development
could potentially consist of 6,000 residential units,
up to 8 hotels/resorts, 186 000m2 commercial space, and
conservation/ recreational/ leisure space such as a botanic
garden, animal farm, butterfly farm and forest trails
and boardwalks. The project’s sustainability targets
are under exploration but include changing from 80% private
car use to 80% public transport use; procuring 50% of
construction materials within 50km radius from the site;
60% savings on freshwater consumption; and creating new
wetland habitats on site. |
