A Contextual Framework is being developed to guide future decision-making and land-use planning for the Precinct. Stakeholder engagement is a key part of the process. Input from the community is being sought to ensure that the Contextual Framework aligns with the community's current use of, future needs and long-term vision for the Precinct.

In terms of section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, the public and interested parties or groups are given the opportunity to submit comments, recommendations or input to the City from Thursday, 13 November 2025 to Thursday, 15 January 2026.

The Hartleyvale Sports Precinct is located in Observatory, Cape Town and caters for a variety of users and sporting codes.

The City of Cape Town's Recreation & Parks Department aims to enhance facilities at the Hartleyvale Sports Precinct, a cluster of key sporting facilities in the City of Cape Town.

It includes the Malta Park Sports Grounds to the north and the Hartleyvale Sports Complex to the south of Station Road.

The draft Contextual Framework that is to be presented at the Open Day has been informed by initial stakeholder input.
