Abstract

The purpose of the study was to high­light the characteristic features of office parks. The importance of loca­tion and accessibility in orderly plan­ning in public interest, the new Deve­lopment Facilitation Act, Act 67 of 1995 (DFA), as well as, site size and establishment conditions were empha­sized. A literature study was done, interviews were conducted, with ques­tionnaires in large cities in South Africa, as office parks have not yet been established in the smaller cities. The conclusion was reached that the typical peripheral location can possi­bly still move further from the city (with reservations), even to more rural areas to avoid traffic congestion and ensure more pleasant residential areas. In the more rural areas a smaller site can still convey the office park con­cept, even with higher coverage and floor space ratio (FSR). Finally possi­ble guidelines for urban planners and developers were suggested.
