The Tshwane Speaker’s office has begun the public participation process on the proposed expansion plan of the Tshwane Automotive City (TAC) Rosslyn inland port precinct.
The plan aims to dovetail with the capital city’s strategic development pillars to facilitate economic growth, job creation and service delivery excellence, and protect the environment.
Office of the Speaker spokesperson, Vanessa de Sousa, said public participation would run for 60 days until March 16 – having officially opened on February 16.
De Sousa said its ambitions would make it easier to do business, support entrepreneurship, empower individuals, invest in infrastructure and encourage new automotive-related industries, which would lead to economic growth and more employment.
The TAC is a joint venture between the government and the automotive sector to transform Tshwane into a leading automotive hub for investment.
It aims to emulate well-established automotive cities such as Shanghai in China, Germany’s Autostad, and Toyota in Japan.
It also aims to boost the Gauteng economy by ensuring transformation of South Africa’s car parts manufacturing sector into a major international challenger.
