After a number of residents outside of the CID boundary area expressed interest in becoming part of the Clifton CID, a steering committee was formed to explore the feasibility of this expansion
We’ve met all the City requirements to proceed further. This included presenting the draft amended business plan and budget to members at our recent AGM, to obtain their support and approval for the project to proceed.
Jo McLeod, Gilly Meyer, Jonathan Ackerman, Philip Gullan and Giuseppe Ciucci are all members of the Steering Committee driving this project. Their participation has been invaluable inputting forward concerns and suggestions as owners in the proposed boundary extpansion area which informed the amended business plan, also for their work in talking to neighbours and friends about the concept and obtaining their support.
We are frequently asked what this costs to individual properties – so we’ve developed an online calculator for property owners to use to determine their CID contribution rate (based on this year’s City calculation). You’ll find the calculator here: https://www.cliftoncid.co.za/proposed-boundary-extension/
