The process to look into establishing Marina South as a City Improvement District (CID) started in 2024. Marina South encompasses several residential precincts at the southern end of Marina da Gama, Muizenberg, many of which enjoy waterside positions on the Zandvlei estuary. This map shows the area proposed for Marina South CID.
CIDs are also known as a Special Rating Area (or SRA). Both terms refer to a
clearly defined geographical area in which property owners contribute additional rates to fund & supplementary services for that specific area as per an approved Business Plan.
A CID is always initiated by a community, not by the City, and is typically started by a group of local ‘champions’, who are motivated to improve their area. Here in Marina South, we’ve seen the neighbouring Marina da Gama islands of Park Island and Eastlake Island create their own successful CIDs. Many of the residents in Marina South are hoping to follow in their footsteps, to create a safer, more beautiful and socially responsible community.
The process is governed by the City of Cape Town and every resident will be given the chance to air their views. While the City provides services such as water, electricity, sanitation, refuse
removal, etc. For communities who wish to enjoy supplementary or enhanced services, a CID provides the framework to pay for and deliver additional services, with effective security a major priority.
