Table View Dune Rehabilitation Project Going Well

The dune rehabilitation project on the Table View beachfront is going exceptionally well. To date, 94 000 plants have been rescued and planted on the new dunes; 162 515 m³ sand has been moved, and 23km of netting installed. The netting keeps the nearby infrastructure free of windblown sand and there has been no sand accumulation on the adjacent infrastructure since the dunes were profiled and nets installed.

From 19th June, the City’s Contractor will be mobilising the machines to push the accumulated sand back into the sea, after which nets will be reinstated in preparation for the next season of prevailing south easterly winds.

The machines will be on the beach for approximately 10 days. The beach will remain open, and no works will take place over weekends. The public are asked to please avoid the areas where work is taking place, keep dogs on lead and use the designated access paths.

The work will be ongoing until June 2024.

By August 2023 the City will commence with the other upgrades to the Table View beachfront, inclusive of:

• a new walkway along the coast;
• parking;
• new ablution facilities and
• the repair of stormwater services.

The work should be completed by mid-2025. 

There is also the possibility of converting a portion of the old tourism office building into public ablutions.

“At Table View Beach visitors have an iconic view of Table Mountain in the distance, it is a favourite kite-surfing spot in summer months, and extremely popular among locals and visitors from all walks of life. All of those visiting Table View Beach, be it locals or tourists, will enjoy the space much more once we are done with the upgrades,” Eddie Andrew – Deputy Mayor and Mayco member for spatial planning and environment.
