Implementation of two SRAs postponed

Writer: De Waal Steyn.

A request by the Onrus-Vermont (OVRA) and the Kleinmond (KSRA) Special Rating Areas to postpone the implementation of the special rating areas with a year was approved by council during a virtual meeting on 29 July.

The first additional monthly levy for the KSRA and OVSRA will now be payable from 1 July 2021. The Hermanus Special Rating Area (HSRA) and the operational implementation of the ratepayer approved business plan is going ahead as planned.

Hermanus Public Protection (HPP) will be the management body of the HSRA once all documents have been finalised. The full implementation of HPP Management services, in particular, Crime Prevention, Public Safety and Cleansing services, may be expected later this month.

Suburbs included in the HSRA are Westcliff, Westdene, Industria, Northcliff, the Central Business District (CBD), Eastcliff, Hermanus Heights, Fernkloof, Kwaaiwater and Voëlklip. The special rate levy that property owners will pay, is available on the HSRA website – go to www.hermanussra.co.za for further details.
