The delegation was welcomed by the Deputy Mayor, Mr H Levendal. The delegation was informed that all services were completed by December 2005. This constituted phase 1, with 210 subsidies, and phase 2, with 462 subsidies. The contractor had established a presence on the site, while the construction of foundations would begin in early 2010. However, due to the steepness of the area, geotechnical excavation was very expensive. During phase 2, progress was delayed by approximately four months due to the late enrolment of the project by the NHBRC.
