Three SRAs gearing up for implementation

Despite the restraints imposed by the nationwide lockdown, a lot of work is being done behind the scenes to ensure that the three Special Rating Areas (SRAs) recently approved by the Overstrand Municipality will be up and running by the end of July, when the first additional levy will be payable.

The three SRAs that were approved are Kleinmond, Hermanus and Onrus-Vermont. The Kleinmond SRA (KSRA) will include all properties in the area within the boundaries of Kleinmond, stretching from the eastern boundary of Heuningkloof to the western boundary of Palmiet, including the informal settlement. The southern boundary is the coastline and the northern boundary the mountain.

The Hermanus SRA (HSRA) will include all properties in the area within the boundaries of 17th Avenue, Voëlklip in the east up to Swartdam Road in the west, with Still Street as the southern border and Fernkloof Nature Reserve as the northern border.

Suburbs included in the HSRA are Westcliff, Westdene, Industria, Northcliff, the Central Business District (CBD), Eastcliff, Hermanus Heights, Fernkloof, Kwaaiwater and Voëlklip.
