The Overstrand Municipality issue several News Briefs every day.  You should check their Website News regularly to keep up to date with all of them.  But a few that are especially relevant to Rooielsers are given below for you to dowload.  The Valuation one was posted on this Blog below on 13th August if you want to read it on line.
Given here for you to be able to download are press releases on Pets, on Short Term Rentals, land invasions and the Mowing ones too.  Please go to the OM News to see others.  

These documents have been received from the Overstrand Municipality.  The Documentation refers to the years 2022-2027 but they actually refer to the plan for 2023-2028.   

You can read the Current IDP 2017-2022 plan that was then extended to 2023 on this link to the OM website.  For Rooiels specific see pages 132 and 228 in particular.  But other sections have relevance.

​You can also see the Strategic Development Framework (SDF) on the OM website to provide context for the IDP

The dates on this process for 2023-2028 are provisionally:
Sept  Ward committees meet to identify new IDP wish list/ priorities (Sept ward

Sept/October Online Survey
Oct onward Public Ward Feedback meetings

​We need to provide Rooiels feedback on this.  Please send your ideas and input to [email protected]
