The project is expected to improve the area for residents and visitors, while also addressing long-term coastal protection needs.

As reported by Cape Town Etc, consultations with local stakeholders, business owners and the community are underway.

These will provide information on timelines, potential disruptions and measures to minimize inconvenience during construction.

The project will be completed in phases, starting with the western section of Surfer’s Corner, near the railway line. Despite the work, the beach will remain open and accessible at all times.

The project’s key elements include coastal infrastructure, ablution facilities, parking and heritage features.

Public information displays detailing the project scope and artist impressions have been installed along the beachfront. 

Ultimately, the upgrade is aimed at creating a more resilient and accessible parking space, while also preserving the cultural and historical identity of Muizenberg.
