FUELLING GROWTH
Literally fuelling the Waterfall City environment is a handful
of filling stations strategically dotted throughout the area.
While there are currently a BP, an Engen, and three Sasol

of building more. This ongoing growth is critical to cater
for demand as the development continues to evolve and
become Gauteng’s destination of choice for living, business
and leisure.
