Home Affairs HQ Relocation

THE RELOCATION OF HOME AFFAIRS HEADQUARTERS TO HALLMARK IN THE CITY CENTRE

In line with government's view that government offices should be located within the city centre as part of efforts of building confidence in the city centre while encouraging economic investment into the city, the Department of Home Affairs Headquarters will soon be relocated from Waltloo to Hallmark in the city centre.

The Home Affairs Department Headquarters was originally located at Civitas in the city centre until 2004. This was occasioned by alleged structural problems with the building which necessitated the need to find a temporary location for the Home Affairs Headquarters. This was found in Waltloo, East of Pretoria. We have so far negotiated a new lease for a new Headquarters at Hallmark in Pretoria.

The relocation of the Headquarters to Hallmark will indeed help bring the Home Affairs Headquarters services more nearer to the people, particularly those who reside in and including those who work in the city centre.

Plans for the movement from Waltloo to Hallmark have been finalised and will take place in phases to accommodate the various branches of the Department. In this regard, the relocation will begin in earnest from 17 November 2011 and we hope to conclude the process by 22 December 2011.
