Region 1 is situated in the north-western part of the Metropolitan area, to the north-west of the CBD and to the west of the Wonderboom area (Region 2). The region can be reached via the R80-Mabopane Highway (PWV 9), which links the region with the central regions of the metropolitan area. This road provides a north-south linkage but does not continue further north to link the area beyond the municipal boundaries. The Bakwena Platinum Highway (PWV 2) that links the region with the N1 freeway to the east and to the west links the area with Rustenburg and the Northwest Province. Generally regional accessibility within this area is poor although the PWV2 has improved the situation considerably since its construction. The link to the southern portions of Gauteng and the Tshwane Capital Core is poor and will only improve once the PWV 9 has been completed in the western side of Tshwane.
