Chapter 11 - Sedibeng District Municipality

6.2 Land Use Development Trends
The intention in the Sedibeng District is to consolidate the existing urban structure
which is located parallel to the east of the N1 freew ay around the Evaton-Sebokeng
complex, and up to the CBDs of Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging in the southern
parts. All the larger, vacant pockets of land w ithin this functional area have been
identified for residential densification and infill developments. Along the R59 corridor
which is located to the east of the N1 and the associated major residential areas,
extensive economic development is expected in the next few decades. Several
strategic development areas w ere identified along the R59 freew ay that could
accommodate part of the increased need for residential development in this area.In
the far eastern parts of the Sedibeng District w ithin the Lesedi Municipal Area the
major features comprise the planned infill developments betw een Ratanda and
HeidelbergTow n, as well as the formalisation of informal settlements around Vischkuil
and Devon, both of w hich are located to the north along the N17 freew ay.
