Rooiels Ratepayers Association (RERA)
Picture

RERA facilitates the support of the Rooiels Vision, promoting the adoption of policies and the implementation of services in ways that "Nurture Nature".  RERA assists the Overstrand Municipality in a planning and coordinating role. RERA does not have authority to enforce. Within the guidelines of the Constitution, RERA acts as a conduit for ratepayers views and helps to ensure that municipal services are provided to the benefit of ratepayers in ways that are effective, efficient, accountable and in ways that reinforce the Rooiels Vision.  RERA provides feedback to ratepayers and residents about matters and policies under consideration by the Overstrand Municipality and elicits input and a mandate where required.
RERA EXCO GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR 2023
  1. To support the Rooiels Vision;
  2. To protect Rooiels from illegal developments or actions that would undermine the natural heritage and character of the village and to enhance social cohesion;
  3. To represent the interests of Rooiels on the maintenance and development of infrastructure and ensure that they are serving residents' needs and enhancing the natural capital of Rooiels;
  4. Follow up with the Rooiels ratepayers, and the Overstrand Municipality, on the adoption of the Rooiels Conservation Protection Overlay Zone into the Municipal plans and to engage on other Municipal planning and development issues including the Overstrand Integrated Development Plan and other relevant initiatives;
  5. To give feedback to all on issues affecting Rooiels including Ward feedback and to provide members information from Exco meetings, open to all members  every second month after the Hack (the Hack is first Sat of every month);
  6. To assess and share with Rooiels any proposed developments which may affect biodiversity or the scenic heritage of the KBR core, buffer and transition zones;  and
  7. To work with neighbouring villages to promote the preservation and future of this precious legacy.

Overstrand Municipality Rooiels Blog
- Rooiels relevant current documents are copied from OM website for quick reference.  But please check the OM site yourself as only a few of the documents are posted on the RE website.

Large Public Objections blog provides information on significant or controversial developments that RERA objects to - provide your input to:  rera@rooiels.org.za
Link here to the Rooiels Heritiage Protection Overlay zone (gazetted and in force) and also the proposed RECOZ - Rooiels Conservation Zone that would extend protection to all of Rooiels and not only along the R44 as the HPOZ is.  Link to the Documents from the Information cascade which overwhelmingly discussed issues related to the Overlays and regulations for Rooiels and where the Overstrand Municipality assured the Meeting that they would support Rooiels which overwhelmingly requested RECOZ but agreed to accept the HPOZ in the meantime at the request of the OM.  The inclusion of Rooiels into the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve Buffer zone was discussed after a presentation on the KBR by Ruida Pool-Stanvliet, Cape Nature.

ARCHIVE OF PAST MINUTES and FINANCIALS

[ RERA Minutes ]

RERA holds an Annual General Meeting every year.  These are usually held just before or after Christmas so that as many Rooiels home owners as possible are here to attend.  The Executive Committee meets at least four times a year and when necessary more frequently. In 2022 they are meeting on alternate first Saturdays. after the Hack.  A member of the RERA Exco, as the Rooiels Representative, also attends the Overstrand Ward Committee meetings.
