  • VerifiedEditor-approved SMEC records a Council s78(4) resolution, which it dates to 2019, that open single-level parking be provided through an internal mechanism and multistorey parking through an external mechanism, with a private company to build, own, operate and transfer the facility to Council after 20 years. The Council item of 23 Aug 2024 lists that decision as Council 26 Feb 2020, item 13.3, and records that on 23 Feb 2022 Council amended it so that open one-level off-street parking would also be provided through an external mechanism unless the internal one was clearly more viable. (SMEC Executive Summary, 'Needs Analysis', printed p.iv (PDF p.5); Council agenda 23 Aug 2024 item 10.6.2, para 6.6 (35th Council 2020-02-26 item 13.3; Special Council 2022-02-23 item 8.11.2), PDF pp.6-8)
  • VerifiedEditor-approved SMEC parking surveys (06:00-18:00) were done 15-19 Sep 2020, 22-24 Apr 2021, 18-20 May 2023 (peak) and 11-15 Jul 2023 (off-peak), with inventories on 24 Aug 2020 and 3 Oct 2023. (SMEC Executive Summary 'Demand Analysis' pp.iii-iv; Summary Report s3.3.1)
  • VerifiedEditor-approved At the Eikestad Mall off-street parking area, SMEC observed weekday peak parking accumulation rising 20% from 2020 to 2021 and a further 85% from 2021 to 2023, with usable capacity exceeded in 2023; Friday increases were 71% and 37%, and Saturday (area L7) 60% and 29%. (SMEC Summary Report s3.5.1, Figs 3-8 to 3-10 (around pp.40-41); Executive Summary p.iv)
  • VerifiedEditor-approved In the SMEC focus area, overall maximum peak parking saturation was 92% in the peak period and 87% off-peak, and demand exceeded maximum usable capacity for about four hours on a peak-period weekday; SMEC expects traffic circulation as drivers search for on-street free parking. (SMEC Summary Report s3.4.2, Figs 3-2/3-3 (around p.37))
  • VerifiedEditor-approved SMEC sized a possible Eikestad facility (assuming use of the existing basement) at averages of 285, 319 and 399 bays for 2023 and 402, 502 and 483 bays for 2028 across three methods (2.57% annual growth). In its full report (Rev 2, 9 Jul 2024) the three methods gave additional-bay requirements of 7 to 292 (Method 1), 2 to 314 (Method 2, which SMEC itself calls flawed) and 92 to 300 (Method 3), which SMEC summarised as ranging 'from just 7 additional bays to 314' with an average 'around 148'. It sized the facility at 475-548 bays and proposed 498. (Council agenda 23 Aug 2024 item 10.6.2, Annexure 1 (SMEC feasibility study) s3.7.3-3.7.4 and Tables 3-23/3-24, printed pp.119-124 (PDF pp.143-148); executive summary Table 3-3, PDF p.29. Also SMEC Summary Report s3.6.3, Tables 3-2/3-3, printed pp.43-44 (PDF pp.57-58))
  • VerifiedEditor-approved Figure: stage unknown SMEC's full feasibility report (Rev 2, Jul 2024) estimates construction at R99 439 000, a smart parking system at R1 999 141 and fibre at R5 000 (excluding VAT); with consultants' fees (12%) of R12 138 368.83 and services relocation of R1 714 073.56 the 2023 capital cost totals R115 295 583.39 at September 2023 prices, with construction assumed from June 2024 to Nov/Dec 2025. It puts operating cost at R1 246 000 a year (2023) and just over R1.52m in 2026, and maintenance at R469 003.50 a year (2023) and R542 930.18 (2026) in Table 8-4. (Council agenda 23 Aug 2024 item 10.6.2, Annexure 1 (SMEC feasibility study) s2.2, printed pp.19-20 (PDF pp.43-44); s8.5.3.1 capital cost, printed pp.211-213 (PDF pp.235-237); Table 8-3, PDF p.238; Table 8-4 'Cost Estimate / Year', PDF pp.239-240. Summary Report printed pp.16 and 59)
  • VerifiedEditor-approved Figure: stage unknown SMEC's site comparison table gave assumed capital budgets for other options, for example Stellenbosch/Die Braak sites R222 750 000, Pick n Pay R155 925 000, Eikestad Mall R111 000 000, Bloemhof and Stelkor R89 100 000, Checkers R44 550 000, and R304 entrance / Adam Tas R267 300 000. (SMEC Summary Report s4.2 options assessment table (around pp.46-48))
  • VerifiedEditor-approved Figure: stage unknown SMEC estimated annual revenue for the Eikestad facility at R11.7m to R18.3m in 2026 (first operating year) across seven scenarios, using existing Eikestad tariffs; its best scenario gave R16 710 286 (2023) and R18 309 998 (2026). (SMEC Summary Report s6.1.6, Table 6.1 (around p.61))
  • VerifiedEditor-approved Figure: stage unknown The CITP 2016-2020 budgeted R120.1m for two parking projects: TI042, 'Provision and Improvement of Parking Areas in Stellenbosch', R50m in each of 2017/18 and 2018/19 (R100m), and TI044, 'Construct a Parking Garage', R100 000 (2017/18) and R20m (2018/19) (R20.1m). The CITP 2022-2026 has no capital line for a large parking facility, although it states that the creation of the CBD and Techno Park parking facilities "is included in the ten year Infrastructure Services budget" (agenda p.2724); the only matching line in Appendix C is the R9m planning and development item. Appendix C lists parking area upgrades in Franschhoek (R711 442) and Stellenbosch (R800 000) in 2022/23 from developer charges, and 'Provision Bulk Parking Planning & Development' at R3m in each of 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 (R9m, own funds). (CITP 2016-20 project list, printed p.272 (PDF p.301); CITP 2022-26 s7.2, agenda p.2724 (PDF p.108), and Appendix C, agenda pp.2870, 2873; SMEC Summary Report s2.3.1, printed p.16)
