The eThekwini metro is aiming to establish a world-class amusement site in the place of Fun World on the Durban beachfront, which had become a landmark over the past 75 years.
Fun World will be closing its doors after its lease contract ended years ago and it operated on a month-to-month basis.
The head of the eThekwini municipality’s real estate department, Thapelo Mmusinyane, says they want to attract more tourists with a more modern site. “We will be talking to the council this month, where we will be seeking permission to advertise this property and requesting a new proposal for the re-development of this specific property. We have done this with other properties on the beachfront. We will get proposals that will talk to modern days. I think this time around we will add a new development, which must include an amusement park, just to test a market and see what offers we get out of it.
The eThekwini municipality released a statement last month on the city’s plans for the Funworld Site. The municipality says the property will be going out to tender this year to invite proposals for redevelopment.
