Residents of Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha are set to receive new waterwise and electricity-efficient bus depots with construction set to begin next month.
The multi-million-rand project will include parking, maintenance infrastruction and offices, as per EWN.
Residents will get to enjoy the finished project by mid-2025, according to Cape Town Mayor, Geordin Hill-Lewis.
The purpose of the newly constructed depots will be to ensure that scarce and limited resources are utilised efficiently.
“The depot buildings will be orientated and shaped in response to the sun’s direction to channel reflective light into the buildings to minimise the need for artificial light. Motion sensors will be linked to all internal lighting to keep electricity usage to a minimum,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Hill-Lewis has had his hands full as he recently unveiled a 10-point plan to buy private power in a bid to end load shedding, as per SABC News.
