Africa and constitutional education. The site hosted<br />
63 public programmes and 83 educational programmes<br />
last year.<br />
Opportunities<br />
The site is blessed with investment opportunities<br />
including heritage tourism through the proposed<br />
establishment of the Judicial College, a Struggle<br />
Hero Visitor’s Centre and a boutique hotel; the development<br />
of a Justice Precinct; and other commercial<br />
and housing developments, cultural tourism<br />
initiatives, archives and libraries and recreational<br />
facilities. An example of one such investment opportunity<br />
is the <strong>Gauteng</strong> Growth and Development<br />
Agency’s (GGDA) Investment Project Constitution<br />
Hill Redevelopment Project.<br />
Aim of the GGDA project<br />
A proposal was submitted to develop the site<br />
with a Justice Precinct that will include various offices<br />
for the Chief Justice, Chapter 9 Institutions,<br />
the Judicial Institute and the Court Management<br />
Agency and other related activities. The development,<br />
which is proposed to be approximately 105<br />
000 square metres in area, will become a national<br />
icon and is directly related to the location of the<br />
Constitutional Court. It will also ensure development<br />
in the Inner City of Johannesburg. It is estimated that<br />
the project would generate about 250 construction<br />
jobs. Possible partners for the project include<br />
National Treasury, the Independent Development<br />
Corporation (IDC), the Development Bank of<br />
Southern Africa (DBSA), the Public Investment<br />
Corporation (PIC), the National Department of Arts<br />
& Culture, the City of Johannesburg, the JDA and<br />
the Chief Justice Office.<br />
