MUIZENBERG

MID looks to expandNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Residents of the Wherry Road trianglecould soon be enjoying the benefits ofan improvement district.

The Muizenberg Improvement District(MID) is planning to expand its borders toinclude Clevedon, Cromer, Henley andWherry roads.

The MID board receives ongoing requestsfrom residents in the Wherry Road trianglewho feel they are missing out on the benefitsenjoyed by properties inside the MID bound-ary and often question why they were not in-cluded from the start, explains LesleySchroeder, MID stakeholder engagement di-rector and deputy chair.

“The current board was not part of that de-cision making process but we’ve listenedand spent substantial time looking at the fea-

sibility of a boundary extension and prepar-ing the documentation. Now the decisionrests with the property owners,” she says.

There are approximately 90 properties inthe Wherry triangle, made up mainly of resi-dential homes and some blocks of flats.

Expanding the MID’s boundary is alengthy process which has to be well consid-ered before motivating an extension to theCity, explains Schroeder. “The board did acost analysis to determine whether the prop-erty owners who already pay improvementdistrict levies would continue to receive thesame level of service should the boundarybe extended. The MID is one of the smallestimprovement districts in the Western Capewith a budget of only R1.4m per annum, soservice provision has to be done creativelyand wisely,” she says.

When the cost analysis was found viable,the extension was proposed at the AGM,

Schroeder says.After MID members voted in favour of ex-

tending the border, the board was able tocontinue with the process prescribed by theCity and legislation for Special Rating Areas(SRAs).

“We are at the point where the MID hasgivennotice that it intends toapply to extendits boundary to include Henley and WherryRoads and the parts of Cromer and Clevedonroads which currently fall outside the MIDboundary.”

All property owners in these four affectedstreets are invited to a public informationmeeting on Tuesday 7 June, Schroeder adds.

“The impact for residents in the WherryRoad triangle is that they will be part of avibrant improvement district that facili-tates focused support and services in theirarea,” she says.

MID provides top-up services, which in-

clude keeping a close watch on problembuildings, joint safety operations, workingwith the City to seek workable solutions forhomelessness and vagrancy, planting andmaintaining medicinal and indigenous gar-dens in public areas, as well as cleaning ofstreets and clearing of gutters and weeds.

“Everyone benefits from the MID 24 hourpublic safety patrol which attends to issuesimpacting on public safety and assists localsand visitors in public areas,” Schroederadds.V All property owners in these four affected streetsare invited to a public information meeting on Tuesday7 June at 18:30 at Kids Planet, Wherry Road. Propertyowners are asked to bring a rates bill and identification. In terms of SRA legislation at least 60% of theproperty owners need to sign consent before theboundary can be extended.V More information on the process is available on theMID website www.mid.org.za
