ATLANTIS SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE: TECHNICAL INVESTOR BROCHURE

The document outlines the investment proposition for the Atlantis Special Economic Zone (ASEZ), focusing on its role as a greentech manufacturing hub. It details available land, infrastructure, and a range of national and municipal incentives, while providing specific cost data for electricity, water, and labour in the Western Cape region.

• The Atlantis Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) is designed as a greentech manufacturing hub, having already attracted four investors with a total investment of R680 million, including Gestamp Renewable Industries, Skyward windows, Kaytech, and Resolux.
• Investors in the ASEZ may access various national incentives, including a preferential 15% corporate tax rate and tax relief, building allowances, and employment tax incentives, subject to official SEZ designation and legislative requirements.
• The City of Cape Town provides specific local incentives for ASEZ investors, such as development application fee exemptions, broadband connection fee waivers, and development contribution deferrals or write-offs capped at R1 million.
• The ASEZ offers a variety of land options, including City of Cape Town greenfield sites, privately owned brownfield sites accessible via a back-to-back lease mechanism, and potential expansion into provincial government land.
• Bulk infrastructure is largely in place, with the City of Cape Town allocating roughly R80 million for bulk electricity upgrades to increase power supply by approximately 50 MVA, complementing Eskom upgrades.
• The region provides a diverse skills base, with an abundance of practical skills from local technical high schools and the West Coast College, while specialized engineering functions may initially be sourced from outside Atlantis.
• Operational costs for 2016/17 include a property tax rate of R0.012795 per rand of municipal value and a general waste disposal tariff of R388.77 per metric ton (excluding VAT).
