The province's notice of 6 November lists all sessions for 10:00-13:00 SAST:

  • 16 November: Rosemoor Hall, George.

Register before the chosen session

The province asks participants to register before their event date using the form linked from its notice. The link resolves, but this report has not verified whether the form is currently accepting entries.

Written comments close in January

Interested people and organisations may submit written comments by 29 January 2027, including by email to psdf@westerncape.gov.za. No closing hour is specified.

The draft guides provincial planning and investment. It does not itself confer or remove development rights or replace municipal spatial frameworks.
