Should Bo-Kaap be a protected heritage site?
Locals are encouraged to have their say about the proposed plan to make the Bo-Kaap, Cape Town’s oldest surviving residential neighbourhood, a Heritage Protection Overlay Zone (HPOZ), between January 18 – 22 2019.
The City’s Executive Mayor, Dan Plato, says that the public participation process is invaluable and will have an influence on whether the Bo-Kaap is declared a heritage protection zone. If the Bo-kaap becomes a HPOZ, the preservation of its heritage would be paramount, and possible future developments may be approved to go ahead only if they are sustainable and sensitive to the neighbourhood’s unique history and culture.
