The priority projects in the Western Cape’s newly announced single integrated infrastructure pipeline currently consist of 52 projects to the value of R132-billion, says Western Cape Infrastructure Minister Tertuis Simmers.

The province this week held its inaugural Western Cape Infrastructure Ministerial Roundtable in Cape Town, where it unpacked the pipeline and the science behind it to the private sector.

Simmers said 11 projects from the list – valued at more than R20-billion – had been identified for release to the market as they reach maturity.

“This Ministerial Roundtable is not intended to become another annual conference,” he noted.

“It is a permanent platform for collaboration – a place where government, municipalities, investors, financiers, engineers, planners, contractors, researchers and communities work together to build our future Western Cape.”
