As the seasons shift from winter to spring, the Wynberg Improvement District continues its work to keep our urban environment clean, safe and well maintained. This is also the time when we prepare for our Annual General Meeting (AGM 2025), where we reflect on the year’s achievements and look ahead to 2025/26.

We invite all stakeholders to join us for our AGM – an important opportunity to participate in shaping the future of our community. Full details are provided below.

Greening & Urban Maintenance

Over the past months, our teams have been hard at work maintaining and refreshing the Tygervalley area. These projects are aimed at improving the quality of the public environment for all who live, work and visit here.

Our focus has included:

  • Urban cleaning and maintenance – tackling illegal dumping, graffiti removal, gutter and drain cleaning, poster removal and high-pressure sanitising.
  • Greening initiatives – planting, landscaping and maintaining public spaces to create a more welcoming and environmentally friendly urban landscape.
  • Ongoing upgrades – responding to service requests, addressing problem areas and ensuring that seasonal changes don’t compromise the safety or cleanliness of our streets.

Together, these efforts lay the foundation for a brighter, cleaner and greener spring season.

Building a Cleaner, Greener Cape Town – The City’s New Waste Strategy

The City of Cape Town has launched its new Waste Strategy, a long-term roadmap to deliver sustainable, affordable and future-fit waste services for all residents and businesses. With illegal dumping, landfill reliance and growing urban waste challenges, the strategy sets out clear goals to improve data and technology use, drive behaviour change, strengthen partnerships and close service gaps.

Centred on three pillars – optimising existing services, minimising waste to landfill, and maximising service offerings – the strategy calls on everyone to play their part in building a cleaner, greener Cape Town.

Greening Tygervalley – A New Pop-Up Park

The Tygervalley ID continues to beautify the area in an effort to create an attractive and inviting urban environment for the entire community and those visiting the area.  In the last year we created a pop-up park with public seating in Edward Street and a potted garden and welcome sign as you approach the TVID from Old Oak Road along Willie van Schoor Drive. 

In recent weeks, we added to our collection of potted gardens with our latest addition on the corner of Bill Bezuidenhout Avenue and Sportica Crescent.

The good news is that we will continue with these projects through the area in an effort to make Tygervalley even more inviting and attractive.

The next planned project awaiting final City of Cape Town approval is a second pop-up park in the northern area of Edward Street.  We will keep you posted on the developments of this project.

New CID By-law Policy

The new CID by-law policy came into effect from 1 July, which serves “To provide for the establishment of City Improvement Districts; to provide for additional rates; and to provide for matters incidental thereto.”

The City of Cape Town’s by-law and policy regarding the establishment and management of City Improvement Districts has gone through several iterations over the years since the concept of a CID was first tested in the year 2000.

The latest revisions of the by-law and policy comes as more than 50 CIDs are now in operation.

The by-law is available to download online at openbylaws.org.za.

Logging a service request with the City

You too can assist with urban management and the growing number of faults and service requests that the City and TVID deal with on a daily basis. By reporting water and electricity faults and other maintenance requirements such as potholes, missing road signs or blocked stormwater drains, through the correct channels, we and the City are able to attend to these service requests and log their status in an effective way.

There are multiple channels through which you can do this – the easiest being the online portal at capetown.gov.za/servicerequests, which is also now available in the City of Cape Town mobile app.
