The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) has made significant progress in the construction of the Bertrams Multipurpose Centre on the eastern edge of the Inner-City Central Business District.
The JDA is implementing the facility for the City of Johannesburg’s Social Development Department.
The progress of the construction work is at 20%, and mass excavations are taking place with the project team working diligently to lay the foundation for this transformative community asset.
The state-of-the-art facility will be a beacon of hope and empowerment for the community in offering social development services and foster community growth for residents of Region F.
On completion, the facility will offer a wide range of services and amenities designed to uplift and enrich the lives of residents. Key features of the Betrams Multipurpose Centre:
Community Hall: A versatile space for gatherings, events and community meetings.
Senior Citizens Support: A dedicated area to cater to the needs and well-being of our senior citizens.
Women’s Empowerment Centre: A hub for programs and resources aimed at empowering women in our community.
Childcare Facilities: A safe and nurturing environment for the youngest members of our community.
Social Development Offices: Offices to facilitate essential social services and support.
Youth and Skills Development Facilities: Spaces for skills development, education, and recreational activities for our youth.
Basketball Courts: A sports facility to promote physical fitness and community engagement.
The site of the Bertrams Multipurpose Centre is adjacent to the Greater Ellis Park. The sports precinct is part of the revitalisation project by the JDA to transform the area into an eye-catching, accessible hub linking sport, education, residential and transport sectors.
The Bertrams MPC is conveniently located adjacent to public transport like Rea Vaya BRT service, numerous buses, and taxi routes to the CBD and eastern suburbs of Jeppestown, New Doornfontein, Troyeville and Kensington to access the facility.
“The City of Johannesburg is committed to enhancing the quality of life for its residents by providing essential services and infrastructure while fostering community development, sustainability, and inclusivity,” says JDA acting CEO Siyabonga Genu.
“The Bertrams Multipurpose project aligns with the JDA’s objective to efficiently, effectively and economically deliver sustainable social and economic infrastructure projects”, he said.
“It also aligns with the JDA objective to support the growth and development of strategic economic nodes into high-quality, investor friendly and sustainable urban environments.”
