Dannhauser Municipality will soon be sporting a new office building worth an estimated R136 000 000.

According to the Dannhauser Municipal Manager, Shaka Cele, the construction of the multi-year project began during the 2014/2015 financial year.

“It’s a 2-storey building that houses about 80 offices to house council chambers, municipal offices and government institutions,” he elaborated.

When looking at the reasoning behind the new development, Cele said that there were many facets at play. The main reason being that the current building was not conducive to accommodate the increase in staff members, councillors and customers, hence the need to develop a decent office space.

“Over time, the building seemed to fall off from complying with national building regulations which posed serious threats to the employees and customers. Above that, a decision was resolved to develop towards the Eastern side of Dannhauser, which is along the R621, because that’s where most activities are expanding towards,” further explained the Municipal Manager.

He added that adjacent to the new office building, there is also a new taxi rank, a textile incubator hub and a new testing centre.

“There are other developments that are still in the pipeline that the community shall be alerted on as we progress. In addition, the current offices will be leased to sector departments with an aim to create revenue which will assist us with service delivery.”

Moreover, the project is said to be internally funded and is currently at 90% of completion, with the offices earmarked to be occupied by October 2022.

“The building is right at the epicentre of the proposed location which is again earmarked for further exciting projects. These developments, both completed and still in the pipeline will have a ripple effect in urban development which is critical for growth and investment.”
