Hermanus SRA needs support from property owners

Writer: De Waal Steyn.

With the Onrus-Vermont Special Ratings Area receiving the required number of votes to apply to the municipality for the establishment of a Special Ratings Area (SRA), the next challenge lies with drawing enough votes for the creation of an SRA for Hermanus.

According to Michael Farr, chair of the Hermanus SRA committee, a total of 2 751 yes votes are required before an application can be brought to establish an SRA. “To date we have only obtained 1 027 votes in favour of the SRA and 50 votes against. The target needs to be reached by the end of January if the SRA is to be established in July this year,” he said. Following a public meeting on 19 December, the committee plans to hold further meetings with ratepayers during the month on the proposed business plan, which is available at www. hermanussra.co.za.
