OUTER WEST CORRIDOR STUDY & CATO RIDGE LOCAL AREA PLANS
eThekwini Municipality
NATIONAL, PROVINCIAL & REGIONAL CONTEXT Cato Ridge and the Outer West Corridor are strategically located on the N3 national route between eThekwini Municipality and Mkhambathini Municipality and close to Pietermaritzburg.
OUTER WEST CORRIDOR STUDY & CATO RIDGE LOCAL AREA PLANS
METRO & LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT Back of Port area serious pressures (new roads, railways and truck routes) and space (logistics); Western suburbs are growing rapidly Areas to north and to the south of Shongweni and Mpumalanga comprise largely traditional rural settlements The area exhibits substantial tourism and recreational potential, Mpumalanga township is expanding and upgrading, Revitalisation and growth of the Hammarsdale industrial area is anticipated, The Shongweni node around the N3 and M4 intersections is to be developed further Revitalisation and growth of the Cato Ridge industrial area is already evident Areas consist of traditional rural settlements Valuable agricultural activities along the N3 are expected to remain
Cato Ridge offers potential space for industry and logistics and benefits uniquely from its positioning astride both the N3 national route and the NATCOR railway line.
The area could respond to increasing demand for industrial land in eThekwini Municipality and serve to better integrate the economies of eThekwini, Mkhambathini and Msunduzi Municipalities

PURPOSE OF THE CATO RIDGE LAP produce a plan that will inform: industrial development in Cato Ridge/Harrison Flats. Commercial & Residential expansion in Cato Ridge Town Centre infrastructure required to sustain the proposed activities
OUTER WEST CORRIDOR STUDY & CATO RIDGE LOCAL AREA PLANS
FUTURE POSSIBILITIES: This is a 20 year set of plans A large site in the Harrison Flats area is reserved as a possible future landfill site for the Metro The intermodal hub remains a possibility and has been accommodated within the plan.
To develop the Cato Ridge Town Centre and Industrial area comprehensively

OPPORTUNITIES
eThekwini Municipality
KEY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES Employment creation for the local populations at KwaXimba, Fredville & south across the valley at Mpumalanga; Provision of land for development which, at a metropolitan scale, is required in the long term for o Large manufacturers; o Service & light industry; o Logistics & distribution. The Cato Ridge area presents one of the only immediate opportunities to release significant amounts of industrial land with site sizes in excess of 5,000 m2; Large areas of topographically suitable land, much of it currently zoned industrial;
OUTER WEST CORRIDOR STUDY & CATO RIDGE LOCAL AREA PLANS
KEY ECONOMIC CONSTRAINTS Inadequate existing road capacity to support meaningful development at Cato Ridge in the medium to long term; Inadequate bulk infrastructure (particularly waste water treatment & electricity) to support any meaningful development in Cato Ridge;
Large land owners (historically speaking) not releasing their land for sale to 3rd party private developers;
Acute environmental concerns with respect to biodiversity, critical habitats & water catchments that must be balanced against any form of development. Need to preserve & support tourism and recreational service development which has the potential to employ large numbers of unskilled people from surrounding communities.
The possibility to exploit the national road & rail routes that intersect in the area.
The study area serves as a gateway to the Valley of 1000 Hills, the Msini resort at Nagle Dam & hosts existing successful tourism & recreational businesses in the Craiglea area.
