Table Mountain National Park

Planning and Development

The TMNP’s Conservation Planning and Development Department has a wide range of
responsibilities:

Land Consolidation

Table Mountain National Park was established through the proclamation of the initial
14 500 hectares of City land as National Park. Park Management was tasked with
incorporating all remaining, undeveloped conservation-worthy land on and around
the Cape Peninsula Protected Natural Environment (CPPNE) within the TMNP’s
management jurisdiction. The TMNP is 25 000 hectares in extent of the 30
000 hectares that comprise the CPPNE.

The Department has a process underway to secure the remaining conservation
worthy City and public land and a CPPNE Private Land Consolidation Strategy which
seeks to consolidate private land into the Park by donation, purchase, contract or cooperative
agreement. Land consolidation progress is summarized in the Park’s
“Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” maps

Policy Management

Management of the Table Mountain National Park is informed by various policies and
management plans. The Planning Department is responsible for the management
and updating of all policy documents.

Information Management


All information regarding the Park recorded by plotting it into an Environmental
Information System (EIS). This includes topics such as footpath and road networks,
alien clearing activities, heritage sites, boundaries, firebreaks, heritage mapping and
facility positions.

Signage


Part of the Park’s Visitor Management Programme includes ensuring that there is a
comprehensive system of directional and informational signage throughout the
TMNP. A comprehensive Signage Manuel serves as the basis for provision of signage
throughout the Park

Land Use Planning


The Department has prepared an overarching spatial planning framework for the
Park – the Conservation Development Framework – which identifies recreational use
zones, visitor sites and provides for the management of the Park-City interface.
Planning frameworks are prepared for priority areas for implementation of visitor
infrastructure and outsourcing via the SANParks concession programme.
