Schools, healthcare and parks planned

The MEC said the vision for Westonaria Borwa extends beyond the construction of houses, with the development also planned to include schools, healthcare facilities, parks and transport infrastructure.

Spaces for business and industry are also included in the long-term plans, creating opportunities for economic activity alongside residential development.

The development is intended to bring homes, essential services and economic opportunities together as the community continues to grow.
