6.4 Proposed Vaal Logistics Hub (a) Background The consortium w as established in 2008 w ith the aim of conducting and coordinating research to explore various options to revitalise and regenerate the industrial and commercial business opportunities in the Southern Gauteng and Northern Free State.The current unemployment rate in the Vaal is around 53% and it ranks the highest in GautengProvince. There is therefore a great need to implement a project that w ill accelerate dow nstream manufacturing in the Vaal that w ould address the socio and economic needs in this region. (b) The Need for Logistics in the Vaal A Logistics Hub w as identified as the ideal suitable vehicle to accelerate economic grow th in the Vaal.Apart from once being one of the largest industrial hubs in Southern Africa, the Vaal’s proximity to Gauteng’s markets and its excellent rail and road transport networks makes it a natural location for a logistical hub. The Vaal’s manufacturing sector contributes about 17% to the total manufacturing GGP of the GautengProvince.The proposed Vaal Logistics Hub w ould therefore be of strategic importance for economic development not only in its immediate location, but in the entire Southern Africa Development Community Region. The EmfuleniLocal<strong>Municipality</strong> supports this initiative since the development of such a logistics hub is in line w ith the South African Government’s Policy to: • accelerate the economic grow th rate; • create new employment opportunities; • reduce economic inequalities; and • integrated Spatial Development Framew ork. The implementation of such a logistics hub w ould facilitate access to sustainable economic activity and employ ment opportunities in the Vaal Region. The Vaal Logistics Hub w ould: • promote and attract industrial investment (Manufacturing Facilities); • increase access for South African products and services both locally and internationally; • create a fair, competitive and efficient market place for domestic and foreign businesses; • create a fair, competitive and efficient market place for consumers; and • facilitate inter-modal transportation and value added services platform. (c) Pre-feasibility Results The Vaal Logistics Hub should be placed central to future industrial development in the area, and that the Vaal Logistics Hub should address the follow ing issues: • emphasis on the regeneration of the “Van der Bijl” rail station, and to provide the required associated mechanis m to serve the station (loading, storage, processing); SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 84 31 Aug 2010
• emphasis on the development of a container depot adjacent to the rail station, together w ith the facilities to handle road transportation and truck facilities; and • a new Airfreight facility and dedicated runw ay. The container depot w ill operate like a “port” w ith an export-import freight container terminal. Similar to Johannesburg’s City Deep it w ill offer a cluster of transport (rail and road), w arehousing and distribution facilities in a single node, allow ing exporters to benefit from the economies of collaboration, scale and localization. The features will include: • bonded w arehouse facilities; • efficient loading, off loading and freight transfer handling; • IT systems w ith data interchange, electronic trading, and consignment tracking and tracing; • emphasis on medium and large sized processing w arehouses as part of an Industrial Development Zone / Export Processing Zone; and • emphasis on the International Air link to Southern Africa and mainly Europe (Air Cargo/Freight). A preliminary economic impact assessment conducted by the North WestUniversity indicates the follow ing w ith regard to the positive impact it can have on the economy in the Vaal: • potential to create 45 000 jobs (direct and Indirect); • increase in total output R13 billion plus p.a.; and • increase in Gross Geographical Product of R3 billion plus. (d) Findings The preliminary findings demonstrate the project’s feasibility and include findings on: • government policy on such development; • airspace structures; • environmental Green-Belt requirements of ArcelorMittal; • future transport planning by Provincial and National Government; and • academic demand studies for freight handling services. (e) Discussions with the Vanderbijlpark Estate Company (Vesco) Vesco, contracted by ArcelorMittal‘s Vanderbijlpark Works to manage its off-site land assets, was consulted in the pre-feasability process and supported the initiative to establish such logictics hub.Vesco expressed a desire to be part of such development initiative. (f) Location The Consortium intends establishing the Vaal Logistics Hub to the w est of the Arcelor Mittal Works in Vanderbijlpark, w est of provincial route R553, south-east of the national route N1 and north-east of provincial route R57. The land is ow ned by Arcelor Mittal (approx. 1 300 ha). The Consortium w ill request ArcelorMittal to enter into an agreement w ith the Consortium to explore the development of this land and to consider an appropriate land use mechanis m or divestiture.
