AGM
We expect to receive the drafts of the 2022 Financials from the new Auditors by the end of August. We should then be in a position to host the next AGM by the end of September 2022
SECURITY
We wanted to host a SGM by the end of June to present actions to improve the security in the Estate. However, on presentation of the recommendations to the Board and noting the financial implications to implement, it was suggested that we present these recommendations at the AGM which is planned for end of September.
SQUATTERS
I have received a call on 15th August from the regional office of the Department of Environmental Affairs regarding the status of the squatters in the harbour area, and they confirmed that they are still busy with sourcing the legality of the structures. They cannot act on removing the squatters, but have discussed this with the department of Homelands and Settlements, who is responsible to remove or resettle citizens who are illegally occupying property. They have also engaged with the Department of Forests and Fisheries to take action on any poaching that is happening. They understand that it is taking long, but assure me that they will continue until the situation is
resolved.
POACHING
Poaching is a problem along most of South Africa’s coastline, and our area does not escape this crime. If you, as a citizen, witness any suspicious activities of poaching on our beaches, we urge you not to approach any perpetrators. Please report the activities to the police on 022 736 8060, or the Anti Poaching Unit on 060 907 2326.
SITE INSPECTOR
This newsletter serves to notify everyone again that we have appointed a Site Inspector (Selwyn Brickles) to manage the building sites on the estate. I kindly request that you do not interfere with his duties and refer to me should you have any queries.
SPEED LIMITS
The speed limit inside the estate is 30km per hour and must be adhered to at all times. There are more and more families moving into the Estate, and pedestrian traffic will increase accordingly. It is important to be aware of the safety of pedestrians, and speeding will only endanger their safety. To this end we will be monitoring the speeding habits of drivers and will take action against offenders accordingly.
ADMIRALTY AREA ACTIVITY
I once again caution you to please refrain from illegal activity on the admiralty area. Under no circumstances are any vehicles, boats or trailers allowed access to the beach area from the estate.
If you have any queries or suggestions please don’t hesitate to email them to Kevin at sandypointbeachestate.hoa@gmail.com and we will address them as soon as we are able.
Drive safe and stay healthy,
Regards from the Chairman’s desk
