The development, spearheaded by MEC for Human Settlements and Public Works Jomo Sibiya, is apparently part of a plan to have all provincial government departments at one location.
He said the government estimated that the total cost of rent for government offices over the next 20 years would amount to R5.865 billion.The projected cost of the construction of the provincial government precinct is R 6.817 billion, Sibiya said,"with the market value of the precinct after construction valued around R11 billion".
It was anticipated that the statutory compliance processes would be completed in January 2023, and the financial modelling was expected to be completed by March 2023.
