Although limited, there are strong linkages to the central areas of the Province. The Vaal Triangle (Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging and Sasolburg) is associated w ith the production of steel and fuel (ISCOR and Sasol), as w ell as other types of heavy and noxious industrial activities. Furthermore the agricultural is also a primary contributing sector to the regional economy. Spatial Economic and Industrial Overview : The SDM economy is dominated by the manufacturing sector w hich contributes approximately 32,4% to the total local economy. Sub-sectors include fabricated metal and the chemical sector. Other sectors include inter alia: the services, transport and construction sectors. Industrial activity is a major component w ithin the SDM economy. The ISCOR steel plant, the Samancor ferromanganese plant and the chemical activities revolving around SASOL are major economic stimulants contributing substantially to the economic base and employ ment pool of the municipality. Manufacturing w ill remain the dominant economic sector in the region and should thus remain the key sector on w hich revitalisation efforts should be focussed. This sector also has strong backward linkages to support and enhance the region’s economic base. Manufacturing is responsible for 42% of the economic activities of the Vaal region (Vaal Logistical Hub brochure). The Vaal Logistical Hub: The Sedibeng Grow th and Development Strategy promote the development of the Vaal Logistical Hub. The proposed hub consists of an InternationalAirport, container terminal, and Industrial Development Zone. A feasibility study was carried out by the private sector and the proposed node for the development is the south-east quadrant of the intersection of the R54 and N1. The hub is considered critical for the regeneration and diversification of the Vaal economy, and has the potential of creating 60 000 new employment opportunities in the Vaal. The Vaal Logistical Hub is view ed by the Sedibeng District Council as the most innovative initiative in this regard and is totally committed to ensure that the VLH becomes a reality (Source: Vaal Logistical Hub Brochure). SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 166 31 Aug 2010
Activity Areas: There are three prominent industrial activity areas w ithin the SDM: • ISCOR - ISCOR is a major and extensive industrial development and contributes to the emphasis of the significance of industrial activity w ithin the SDM. Industrial activities related to ISCOR are mainly situated around Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging. • Linear industrial development along R59 from Kliprivier to Meyindustria - The most important industry along this strip is Samancor and relates mainly to heavy and noxious industrial activities. • Heidelberg - Significant industrial activities in and around the Heidelberg complex include the BAT cigarette manufacturing plant and ESKORT meat processing. There are also numerous lesser industrial activities concentrated in this area. Other major industrial and commercial areas include: Duncanville, Peacehaven, Leeukuil, Pow erville and Vereeniging Industrial. There are commercial uses such as warehousing, distribution activities and transport businesses interspersed with the above-mentioned industrial uses. Retail and business activities are concentrated around the Central Business Districts (CBDs). Major Transport Network: The SDM is serviced by and extensive road network and prominent national roads. Freew ays traversing and connecting the area include the N1, R59 and N3. These routes connect the District predominantly to CoJ and EMM. The main north south routes are: • N1 Toll road and the N3 both being of national significance; • R553 – the Golden Highw ay –linking Vanderbijlpark through Evaton/Sebokeng tow ards Johannesburg in the north; • R59 running parallel to the N1 – as main north-south linkage linking Vereeniging/ Vanderbijlpark w ith Meyerton and extending tow ards Alberton and Ekurhuleni; and • R82 as a secondary north-south link. The main east-w est routes are: • R42 is the main east-w est link stretching from Lochvaal to Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging, Heidelberg and Nigel tow ards Endicott and Delmas; • N17 w hich is of national significance; and • R29. The SDM is also w ell served by rail infrastructure. Rail is not available on all the main transport corridors and there is a lack of connectivity to major road infrastructure. The R59, M61 and commuter rail line running parallel to each other from Meyerton Northw ards have the potential to be developed into a functioning and effective development corridor w hich could accommodate major transport routes and connect large activity nodes within the region. The development corridor w ill aim to provide appropriate and sustainable regional accessibility and mobility as well as economic concentrations offering mixed-use development opportunities and job opportunities. Issues List: The freight transportation problems and issues include: • lack of route control (e.g. past schools); • no parking control in low income areas; SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 167 31 Aug 2010
