Sign our petition to fully fund the Liveable Urban Waterways (LUW) Programme in the City of Cape Town.
The recent major budget cuts by the City of Cape Town to the LUW Programme will have devastating consequences. It will delay vital projects, designed to both protect our city’s rivers, wetlands, and water catchments, and to improve water quality, ecological health, and community livelihoods until 2036!
We are calling on residents, environmental advocates, and supporters of sustainable urban development to join us in urging the City of Cape Town to fully fund the Liveable Urban Waterways Programme.
What does this mean?
Years of dedicated work and significant financial investment have gone into the initial stages of the LUW Programme’s rollout. This included comprehensive studies and extensive public engagement to determine the sites and designs for the first phase, with implementation initially planned for 2024-2025.
Please sign, share and repeat.
A petition by ourselves, Zandvlei Catchment Forum, Friends of Constantia Valley Green Belts, Zandvlei Protected Areas Advisory Committee, Friends of Kirstenhof Wetland, Kirstenhof and Environs Residents Association and Young Urbanists NPC.
