Master plan for a bigger, better Modderfontein
There are plans to build a Gautrain station in the area, build about 14 000 new homes and create thousands of jobs in about 10 years time
NEW developments in the establishment of Modderfontein New City were announced during an information session held at Modderfontein.
The information session, held in July, invited residents of surrounding areas and others who were interested, to give them insight on the progress of the developments.
Interested parties were treated with a walk-through at the Franz Hoenig Haus in Main Street, where they had a display of maps, diagrams of what the final product would look like, a TV screen showing a slide presentation of the developments, as well as representatives from Zendai Heartland.

According to Zendai, their vision for the Modderfontein New City project is to re-energise this growth node by creating sustainable developments which offer an ideal environment for business, industry and communities to prosper and grow.
Ultimately, their idea is to transform the old Modderfontein into a world-class and diverse city with “cultural and art elements”.
Modderfontein New City is an ever-growing establishment that aims to create an independent community within a community, in the hope of providing a safe and efficient environment which gives solutions to Johannesburg’s current socio-economic challenges.
According to Zendai’s website, “The end vision for Modderfontein New City is to create the ideal living space in which all individuals are able to co-exist in agreement with one another.”
The group has estimated a whopping R84-billion that will be spent on the changes and developments, which range from infrastructure, environment, development planning and transport, right through to economic growth.
In about 10 years time, Zendai spoke about plans to advance the transport system by building a Gautrain station in the area, build about 14 000 new homes and create thousands of jobs.
These plans have been in the pipeline for a number of years, and have been a constant working progress in order to ensure ultimate success and long-term sustainability.
Original framework plans for Modderfontein New City began in 2009 and were approved for further developments. An updated framework plan was created in 2011 and also approved.
The last few months of 2015 will see the final framework plan to be completed and hopefully approved, followed by the final stages of developments.
