investigated. Besides the green com-
ponent, the added benefit of these
measures will also reduce electricity
demand by the development and
make the township socially and vi-
sually more attractive. A new water
reservoir is being constructed while
Fleurhof will obtain electricity from
the shared sub-station the group
implemented for the Pennyville proj-
ect. The estimated project revenue is
R4 068 billion.
All of the bulk and link infrastruc-
ture upgrades that are being done as
part of the Fleurhof development are
not all project specific requirements.
The City of Johannesburg is utilis-
ing the project as a catalyst to drive
infrastructure development with
the area to unlock future residential
developments along Main Reef Road
in Roodepoort. The regional reservoir
andbulkwater infrastructurepipeline
along Main Reef Road are being built
as part of the general upgrading of
infrastructure in the old mining cor-
ridor. The R85 million infrastructure
project will alleviate the current pres-
sure on water infrastructure, roads,
sewerage, reticulation and storm
water facilities. It will also provide
capacity for the future residential
developments to be undertaken
within the area.
The R80 million construction of
the Fleurhof sub-station is being
undertaken by the City of Johan-
nesburg with the financial backing
of the Department of Energy. The
sub-station will provide capacity for
future residential developments on
this economic corridor.
