Vision

To advance Hammarsdale and Cato Ridge as a desirable place to invest, work and live,
thereby supporting growth, employment and transformation.

What is the HCRDA?

A coordinated, cooperative approach to area development led by firms to address shared challenges

Many challenges in Hammarsdale and Cato Ridge are significant and shared by firms and the community
including education, work, infrastructure, safety and environmental issues.

Alone the challenges are often overwhelming. Collaboration is essential if meaningful change is to be delivered.

Why is it needed now?

Positively there have been significant recent public and private sector investments in the area.
This trend is set to accelerate, notably with multi-billion rand upgrades to the N3 that began in earnest in 2022.

While broadly beneficial, united, proactive private sector engagement is needed; particularly over this period of significant development.

Alignment of public sector, private sector and community strategies is required for the full benefit of these investments to be realised. We are pleased to have been recognised by eThekwini Municipality and look forward to working with all stakeholders in pursuit of our vision.
