The Municipality of Redcliff says the recent approval of its master plan by central government has opened new opportunities for investment and development in the town.
Speaking to journalists soon after a full council meeting, Municipality of Redcliff Public Relations Manager Michael Kundai Magoronga said the approval of the master plan would guide land management and accelerate investment projects in the town.
“We are actually glad that our master plan has been approved by the central government and it gives us the impetus now to move on with our investment plans in terms of land management and use,” said Magoronga.
He said the municipality had already received strong interest from prospective investors, particularly in commercial and housing development projects.
“We actually have overwhelming response by prospective investors in Redcliff, especially towards our commercial centre at Redcliff Turnoff,” he said.
Magoronga added that some investors had also expressed interest in partnering the local authority in housing development projects in residential suburbs such as Rutendo.
“We also have other investors who are willing to partner us in terms of housing development in residential areas like Rutendo,” he said.
He said the approval of the master plan would provide a clear framework for engaging investors and implementing development initiatives aimed at transforming the town.
“So now that our master plan has been approved, it will give us the best way forward and we look forward to engage those potential investors and work towards the development of Redcliff,” said Magoronga.
