CCT Free Call Lines

FreeCall lines are located at various municipal and community buildings throughout Cape Town and allow you to contact us directly at no cost. FreeCall lines automatically connects to the City’s 24-hour call centre. An agent will answer the phone in the language of your choice, log a service request, and give you a reference number which you can use to follow up at any time. The lines are located in municipal buildings, housing offices, cash offices, libraries, clinics and community facilities throughout Cape Town. All spatial layers are served live from internal systems, an item's "Last Updated" or "Publish Date" refers to the Metadata only.
Library Membership 1 July 2026

The report reflects the total number of active library members across all City of Cape Town (CCT) libraries at a specific point in time. Active members are defined as members holding valid library cards that had not expired at the time the report was generated. Library cards are valid for a period of two years from the date of issue. Library membership is available and free to all persons residing within the City of Cape Town metropolitan area. Persons residing outside the metropolitan area, including those living along the municipal boundaries, as well as persons temporarily residing within the City who are able to collect their library cards, may also register as members on payment of an annual subscription fee. Subscription‑paying members may select a borrowing option that allows for either ten (10) or three (3) items. LIS also offers organisational membership options, which provide for block loans of library material with extended loan periods. Organisational membership is available to the following categories of institutions: * Residential institutions, including old‑age homes, retirement villages, children’s homes, and places of safety for children; and * Corporate institutions, including businesses, schools, crèches, home‑schooling entities, and correctional services institutions. SmartCape members are registered solely for the purpose of accessing electronic information services and are therefore not permitted to borrow physical library material.

CCT 5m Contours

Contour lines connect a series of points of equal elevation and are used to illustrate topography, or relief, on a map and can be drawn at various desired intervals. This dataset displays contours drawn at every 5m height interval. Numerous contours that are close together indicate hilly or mountainous terrain; and when far apart, they represent a gentler slope. The contours were derived from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data that was captured in 2 blocks in the years 2021 and 2023. The southern half of the City was flown in Jan 2023 and the northern half was flown in Dec 2021. The point cloud has a density of 10 points per square metre and a vertical accuracy of 0.1m (95%). The contours are derived through bipolar interpolation from the 5m DEM (raster) model. The height reference used is the SA Land Levelling Datum.

Aerial Photography Grid 5 Km X 5 Km

The 5km x 5km aerial photography grid is based on the 10km x 10km aerial photography grid. The 5km x 5km aerial photography grid was developed in the 1980s by the old Regional Services Council. Its practical use is to provide a unique number for each tile of 5km x 5km aerial (ortho) photography when dealing with aerial contractors and for planning purposes. Furthermore, it can be used as a useful reference guide to identify area's of interest for other geospatial work. The rectangular grid intersection co-ordinates are in Gauss Conform using positive Westings and Southings. The top right corner origin falls on the Lo19 Meridian and is at y = 0 and x = 3 700 000. Each 10km x 10km geocell (see CCT 10km x 10km Grid) is divided into four 5km x 5km cells, named A, B, C, D. The reference for each 10km x 10km geocell is derived from the top right corner and is made up of two digits – the first being the first digit of the y value and the second being the third digit of the x value. For example the geocell with a top right hand corner value y = + 30 000 and x = + 3 740 000 would have a reference of 34. In addition the letter W is added in front if the cell is located west of the Lo19 Meridian and the letter E is added if located east of the Lo19 Meridian.The 5km x 5km grid numbers are as follows: W00A, W00B, W00C, W00D, W10A, W10B, W10C, W10D, W20A… One row of cells is added to the east of the Lo19 Meridian: E00A, E00C, E01A, E01C, E02A, E02C….One row of geocells in the south has duplicate numbers going beyond x = 3 800 000. For example: Y = 50 000 and x = 3 700 000 gives W50B (North)Y = 50 000 and x = 3 800 000 gives W50B (South)Therefore, duplicate 10km x 10km tiles have been suffixed with a N for tiles lying in the north or S for for tiles lying in the south. In this case, W50N_B and W50S_B. All spatial layers are served live from internal systems, an item's "Last Updated" or "Publish Date" refers to the Metadata only.

2D Building Footprints

The 2D footprint dataset represents building roof footprint extents and should not be confused with the building industry floor footprint. This dataset was created from photogrammetrically captured 3D building models. They have been verified using land parcels, the city ortho mosaic and oblique imagery. They can be used in 2D representations and 3D scenes with a DEM. The year:month of aerial imagery acquisition used in the data capture can be found as an attribute in the feature class table, and the annually occurring additions and updates are indicated there.

Home Owners Associations (GV 2021)

The purpose of this feature class is to separate freeholding properties from grouped or gated properties for the simple reason that the security (one of the values attributes) is more in a gated property than a freehold property; this counts for all types of properties i.e. Residential, Commercial, and Industrial etc. There is also other aspects that determine if a group of properties status will be seen as a Home Owner Association, we set with Residential a minimum of ten properties need to be gated.

Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Beetle (PSHB) Sightings

The Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer Beetle (PSHB) is invading and poses a threat to our exotic and indigenous trees in the City of Cape Town. The beetle most likely spread through the movement of infested wood, originating from dead or dying PSHB infested trees, including wood to be used for cooking or heating. The beetle is the size of a sesame seed, approximately 2mm in length, and it often targets threatened trees across South-Africa.

Monuments

Bridget O’Donoghue Heritage Consultant was appointed by the City of Cape Town to complete a specialist heritage survey of sculptures, memorials and commemorative monuments within the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Area. The resultant report titled "Sculptures, Memorials and Commemerative Monuments" (March 2009) was used to spatialise the data as it contained X and Y coordinates for each record. This data was captured because the Heritage Development and Promotion, Arts and Culture Unit, Social Development Department, City of Cape Town requires a survey of sculptures, memorials and commemorative monuments within the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Area.

Street Address Numbers

All Addresses are depicted through points. The Development Management department maintains the City’s Address Dataset. Each property within the City has one official Situational (Street) Address and it is captured spatially in a point feature class. These Addresses are maintained according to the City’s Street Naming and Numbering Policy. Each new development is provided with Addresses that comply to the policy prior to the approval of the new development. Once Addresses are captured spatially, it is also On ramped to SAP LUM (Land Use Management). This is therefore the only source of Situational Addresses in the City. This layer can also be viewed in conjunction with the Street Name layer, the Complexes and the Suburbs layer.
