The city will be accessed off the N4, and will see the development of a new R90 million road – the PWV17 – which will link the N4 and the R21. Known as Hazeldean Boulevard, the road should start construction in 2016.<\/p>\n

The land held by the consortium covers 950 hectares. The project spans residential, commercial, retail, utility and mixed-use zones.<\/p>\n
The development’s master plan includes a 100,000 square meter mall, along with hospitals, more educational facilities, retail and hospitality and tourism buildings.<\/p>\n
The Hazeldean Consortium is also in negotiations with the Gautrain Management Agency to motivate a Gautrain landing station in Hazeldean as part of the next phase of rollouts for the transport system.<\/p>\n
Feasibility studies into the possible 140km extension of the system are expected to begin in early 2015.<\/p>\n

According to Abland’s Hendrik van Zyl, the development has a\u00a0hybrid of Telkom lines and fibre solutions in place.<\/p>\n
“In our model developments within Hazeldean we have Fibre-to-the-Home, installed, managed and backed by ATEC systems and technologies.”<\/p>\n
“We offer telephony, data and IPTV to our residents, and we are expanding on this model as it becomes feasible on the various developments,” Van Zyl said.<\/p>\n
He noted that\u00a0Abland has\u00a0also received approval for a wireless mast to be installed, but the group is waiting for final approval before\u00a0proceeding.<\/p>\n
“Furthermore we are in negotiations with Telkom for a gated fibre product,” he said.<\/p>\n
