Commercial agriculture takes up the largest area w ithin Lesedi at approximately 95% of the total land surface, and is dominated by large scale crop (maize, grain, sorghum, w heat soya and dry beans, ground nuts, sunflow er seeds and vegetables) and animal production (milk, beef, mutton and lamb, port, eggs and poultry). In respect of agricultural development, the Gauteng Agricultural Plan (2008) identifies several Important Agricultural Sites (IAS) and an Agricultural Hub w ithin the study area. According to the Agricultural Plan, the Agricultural Hubs identified should become the focus areas for the location and development of all activities (primary and secondary) related to the agricultural industry – e.g. dow nstream agri-processing, agricultural villages, incubators, etc. Furthermore, in support of the Hubs, the Important Agricultural Sites (IAS’s) or the areas falling outside of the boundaries of the Hubs, should be protected from uses other than for agricultural purposes. Consequently, the SDF identifies a focus area for agriculture stretching from Vischkuil/Endicott in the north, southw ards tow ards Balfour. More specifically, in support of agricultural development and the strategies being implemented by the DLA and the Gauteng Department of agriculture, the SDF proposes the establishment of six Area Based Planning (ABP) areas. Essentially, these areas (as proposed by the Agricultural Plan) are being reserved by the SDF solely for agricultural purposes. Furthermore, the SDF identifies the strip of land located betw een the R29 and N17 roads as a Development Zone for agricultural-based LED initiatives. Apart from industrial and agricultural uses, a number of old mine shafts are found east of Heidelberg and south of Nigel. The most important of these are the old Witw atersrand/Nigel Gold Mine situated ±3 km south of Jameson Park, and the vertical shaft in the “Heidelberg Zone of Opportunity” betw een Heidelberg and Heidelberg x9 (Bergsig). The Blesbok, Boesman and Suikerbosrandspruits, the Suikerbosrand and Alice Glockner Nature Reserves, and the ridges represent important environmental features within the study area. In respect of the SDF and the Lesedi Environmental Management Framew ork (EMF) (2006), the Blesbokspruit w etlands north of Nigel and west of Vischkuil/Endicott, and the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve w est of Heidelberg represent ecological focus areas. According to the SDF and EMF, these areas should be conserved and promoted as major eco-tourism and recreational centres. Grow th and developmental pressure over the last 7 (seven) years has resulted in a large number of development applications falling outside of the existing urban edge being approved. Furthermore, several of the existing rural settlement areas w ere ignored in the delineation of the previous urban edge. These rural settlements (Devon/Impumelelo, Vischkuil, JamesonPark and Kaydale) play an important function in the provision of housing opportunities for the rural dw ellers, social facilities and economic opportunities. Consequently, the SDF proposes that the existing edge be amended. In respect of land ow nership, a total of 20 113 registered farms and erven are found within the Municipality, of w hich the majority of the land (92%) comprising these farms and erven are in private ownership. Significantly though, in terms of the existing spatial structure, Government-ow ned land is strategically w ell-located to facilitate infill and densification. SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 112 31 Aug 2010
7.3.6 Corridor and Nodal Development Potential In respect of opportunities for nodal development, the Situational Analysis revealed several areas featuring high potential for nodal development (based on existing economic activity, planned development initiatives, and general potential for development in respect of sectors being targeted by the LED Strategy) w ithin the study area. These areas are graphically illustrated on FIGURE 7.4 and include the follow ing: • The Heidelberg CBD (1) • The Ratanda CBD (2) • The area (Zone of Integration) betw een Ratanda and the Heidelberg Agricultural (3 and 4) Holdings • The area surrounding the intersection of the N3 and R23 (5) (6 and 7) • The Zone of Opportunity and the industrial / commercial areas to the south • The area to the south of the Eendracht A.H., betw een the N3 and R102 roads (8) • JamesonPark (9) (10 and 11) • Devon / Impumelelo • Vischkuil Agricultural Holdings (12) 7.3.7 Summary The Lesedi Nodal and Corridor Study concluded that there is limited potential for the establishment of Activity/Development Corridors in the municipal area. Instead, the bulk of development potential w as found to be concentrated around tw elve activity nodes located along some of the most prominent transportation corridors running through the municipal area (the beads-on-a-string concept). From the investigation it w as determined that these tw elve activity nodes could generate as much as 39 573 job opportunities if developed to full potential. In line w ith the LED strategy of the municipality these activity nodes focus on promoting economic activity related to: • agriculture, land reform (agri-villages), and agri-processing; • manufacturing (light industries); • transport (freight and public transport facilities); • residential development to create “critical mass” around certain nodes; • provision of social/community services by w ay of one-stop Multi Purpose Community Centres (Thusong Centres); and • tourism development.
