Coastal access points and zones for the following local or district municipalities

West Coast District Municipality

Overstrand Local Municipality

Garden Route District Municipality

Publication Date: 2018

Background Information: The project "Western Cape Provincial Coastal Access Assessment and Pilot Study" was commissioned by the Western Cape Government and involved the development of a Coastal Access Strategy and Plan (WC PCASP) as well as the development of a framework by-law which could be used to designate coastal access in terms of section 18 of ICMA in 2016/2017. The WC PCASP contained, amongst others, the requirement for the use of coastal access audit checklists to facilitate assessment of existing and historical access, recommend actions and prioritise funding as well as investigate the potential for provision of Universal Access. These checklists and resulting recommendations are intended to assist municipalities (both District and Local) to prioritise actions and therefore funding of coastal access and to approach management and provision of coastal access in a structured manner. The checklists and the framework by-law (developed in a parallel initiative) were, developed as desktop exercises without testing in the field. For this reason, the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning. The results of the audits are expressed on mapped sectors which indicate the degree of ease of public access. These mapped coastal access sectors which include harbours, public launch sites and pedestrian access. In addition, Each sector has a colour code to depicting the characterisation of the of public access. The description of the sector and the rationale for this characterisation is detailed in a reference pdf document which provides a description of each point, including provided facilities, concerns, presence of conflict, environmental degradation/damage or illegal activities etc. The lines depicting the sectors and any points are used as a schematic representation to provide an overview and are not intended to be geospatially accurate. The scope of work of this project was to conduct audits of all coastal access sites along the West Coast District Municipality coastline from Hoekbaai in the north to Bokbaai in the south using the checklist from the WC-CASP as a basis. The audit aimed to assist Municipal planning and therefore focussed on Municipal land. Conservation areas were noted and commented on where appropriate but were not assessed in the same detail.It is important to note that the audit results represent a snapshot in time. They cannot uncover all details of all issues in a single site visit. Additional investigations may be required to provide more detail on findings of the audit.
