Plan

The Johannesburg Deeds Office invites members of the media to the unveiling
ceremony of the Johannesburg Township General Plan, which turns 95-years old
this year. Below is a brief history of the plan:
* The plan was registered and approved by the then SurveyorâGeneral, Mr WK
Tucker in 1911 and was published in the Union Government Gazette No
204/1912.
* On the General Plan, some places have now been expropriated and some streets
in the then Johannesburg were closed; after 1994, some of these places have now
become heritage sites. These include among others: the Constitution Hill â
housing the Constitutional Court, the Old Forte also known as number 4 prison
where many ex-political prisoners were jailed; and the new Nelson Mandela
bridge in the Newtown area.
