Abstract
Large-scale estate developments have become widespread across South Africa in recent years, and represent significant private investment as well as a potentially substantial source of economic benefit for surrounding communities, many of which are impoverished. This paper uses the planned Blythedale Coastal Resort on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast to explore and illustrate aspects of residential estate developments which hold the most potential for increasing their pro-poor local economic impacts. Symbiotic relationships can be created between communities and developers to ensure sustainable job creation and enterprise development in the construction, servicing, supply and maintenance of these developments.
