Overstrand Municipality has intensified its drive against illegal dumping and improper disposal of waste.
Rubbish bags and wheelie bins that are left outside the gate on the sidewalks by weekenders and holiday visitors on days when refuse is not removed, are a huge problem everywhere.
Anyone caught leaving waste on the sidewalks on the night before scheduled removal days, will be reported to Law Enforcement to assist with the enforcement of the Integrated Waste Management By-law.
The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS), in collaboration with Overstrand Libraries, are once again looking to appoint young people to assist and support libraries with various outreach programmes in their communities.
The YearBeyond Libraries Programme offers two streams of work: Youth can work as a ‘Reading Champion’ or ‘ICT Champion’.
If you want to help learners develop reading skills or if you are a tech savvy individual wanting to promote ICT in your community this programme could be for you!
Last week’s First Thursday initiative was well attended by Gansbaai residents.
Thank you all for making the time to engage with Overstrand Executive Mayor, Dr Annelie Rabie, and her Mayoral Committee Members, as well as the Municipal Manager Dean O’Neill and his Directors about issues and concerns in the area.
The Mayor encouraged residents to attend ward committee meetings to ensure there is proper participation when the municipality deals with the budget and integrated development plan, among others, for your wards. The 2023/24 Draft Budget and Draft IDP review roadshow will commence on 3 April and the closing date for written comments from the public is set for 30 April 2023.
Date: 11 and 12 March 2023
Time: 08:00 to 17:00
Who may Register?
This is to remind residents that the Overstrand Municipality's Finance Department will assist needy households to register and/or re-apply for Indigent Subsidy support and to update the indigent database on Saturday, 11 March 2023 from 09:00 - 12:00.
Support will be available during the week at any of the municipal offices.
Kindly note that the Hermanus venue has changed to the Zwelihle Community Hall (and not the Hermanus Multi-Purpose Centre at the New Harbour as was previously communicated).
