Public participation is important in the development of the Transport Master Plan and key stakeholders were invited to participate in the phase two of the project in August and September 2022 to provide feedback on the status quo assessment and proposed solutions to the key problems that were identified in the project’s first phase.

Feedback from the previous rounds of stakeholder engagement was used to guide the preparation of the Draft Transport Master Plan and Implementation Plan. This third phase of the study includes live face-to-face Public Open Days in Cosmo City and Zandspruit as well as an Online Public Meeting. Input from these meetings and any written comments received during the comment period will be used to inform the preparation of the Final Transport Master Plan and Implementation Plan.

All interested and affected parties are invited to participate in any one of the following public engagements where the Draft Transport Master Plan and Implementation Plan will be presented. Details of these meeting are as follows:
