Cape Town - A revolutionary redevelopment of Newlands, one of the world’s premier international cricket stadiums, which will involve the transformation of suites to mixed-use facilities including a cricket museum, offices and cafes, has received the thumbs up from the Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA).
If successful, this could become an income-generating model for other cricket stadiums in South Africa, reports the supersport.com website.
The proposed redevelopment of Newlands at a cost of more than R450 million will require the rezoning of Newlands. A rezoning-application was recently submitted to the City of Cape Town.
