A multibillion-rand development plan by the City of Tshwane to rescue its decaying inner centre through the mass relocation of government departments is set to hit stiff resistance from business and the opposition. The city plans to create a "government boulevard" where all national and local government departments, along with parastatal headquarters, will be located.The development, along with creation of another boulevard with the city's historical buildings, forms part of a city enhancement project set to cost R11-billion over the next 25 years.The development plan, unveiled last week, has been met with resistance by opposition parties, who say businesses currently occupying the prime space will bear the brunt of the relocation.The initiative also includes the creation of a Tshwane ceremonial boulevard on streets leading to the Union Buildings.The ceremonial boulevard willcreate a platform for an expression of national spirit, the city said, on which events such as celebrations, marches and festivals will be staged. It will have Heroes Acres, Kruger House, Church Square, the Palace of Justice, Ou Raadsaal - the Parliament Building of the old Transvaal Republic government - Lilian Ngoyi Square, the State Theatre, Reserve Bank and the Union Buildings.Tshwane mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa has said the city was already the seat of government and a cabinet decision was taken that most national government departments be located in the precinct.Though the DA said it supported the plan, it was concerned at the lack of details.DA councillor Kate Prinsloo said: "The area earmarked for development is neglected. But the report is incomplete."We need to understand ... what are we going to do with the businesses that are already there."..
