However, many elements of the original grand scheme were not undertaken, the most
significant of which was the Second Stage east of Prince George Drive comprising ocean
harbour, golf course, airstrip, hotels, housing, and other related facilities. The land eventually
reverted to the City Council and is today occupied by Vrygrond informal settlement, Coastal
Park Landfill Site, and the extensive Capricorn Business Park development. (Figs. 2.28 &
2.29). Also, Boyes Drive was not extended across Westlake Golf Course to link with the M3
and Steenberg Road; Steenberg Road has not been extended eastwards to connect to Prince
George Drive (Fig. 2.8); the dredging that was to have re-created the once-large Westlake
waterbody west of the railway-line, together with marina-type housing there, was also not
undertaken. (Figs 2.9 & 2.13.)
