ROBERTSON HEIGHTS HOUSING PROJECT OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED
Langeberg Municipality has officially launched the Robertson Heights Housing Development with a ceremonial sod-turning held in Robertson on 04 March 2026.
The project aims to address housing demand in Robertson and surrounding areas through the development of 216 serviced erven and 205 top structures, with stand sizes ranging between 135m² and 150m². In addition to residential opportunities, the development will also include supporting amenities such as a community facility and public open spaces, contributing to a more integrated and sustainable neighbourhood.
The planned land uses for the development include:
- 205 residential sites
- 1 community facility
- 8 public open space areas
- 1 electrical substation
- Road infrastructure
Robertson Heights (Project No. W16010011) has consistently formed part of the Municipal housing pipeline, the Provincial Business Plan, and is registered on the Housing Subsidy System (HSS).
Work is currently underway to install bulk stormwater infrastructure, which forms part of the essential bulk services required to support the full implementation of the development.
Executive Mayor Ald. SW van Eeden said the project represents an important step in addressing housing needs in the Langeberg area. “The Robertson Heights development reflects Council’s ongoing commitment to providing dignified housing opportunities for our residents while building sustainable communities with the necessary infrastructure and social amenities,” said Mayor Van Eeden.
Construction of the top structures is planned for the 2027/2028 financial year.
Housing allocation will take place in accordance with the Council-approved Selection Policy, with priority given to the elderly, persons with disabilities, and military veterans.
To protect the project and ensure fair housing allocation, the Municipality has also approached the court and obtained an interdict allowing for the immediate removal of any individuals who erect unlawful structures on the land.
