Name of the Project
Sibaya Coastal Precinct project.
Location
Sibaya consists of about 1 000 ha of coastal landscape between the Ohlanga and uMdloti estuaries on KwaZulu-Natal province’s north coast, in South Africa.
Client
Tongaat Hulett Developments.
Project Description
The Sibaya site comprises seven nodes. Each node will have its own proposed character, but all will be connected through the development’s infrastructure, pathways and green boulevards.
Fully realised, the precinct will comprise offices, shops, restaurants, educational institutions and recreational opportunities to complement the residential offering. The Sibaya Casino and Entertainment World is located centrally within the Sibaya site.
Significant investment in water, waste-water, electrical and road infrastructure is also being made as part of the development.
This will not only serve this precinct but also enhance services to surrounding communities.

A further estimated 270 000 temporary construction jobs will be created over the project’s development, in line with construction demands.
