How we operate

We provide our municipal top-up services by combining our partnership resources with a rate levied from property within the WID. Our community interventions are designed to increase property investment, amplify job creation and encourage new consumers into the Wynberg area.

The communication between service providers and the community is controlled by a control room, managed urban management specialists Geocentric. The control room runs 24/7 to ensure a constant line of communication between property owners and the security patrolmen and service providers.

We strive towards

Creating, managing and maintaining a safe public environment that is attractive to residents, businesses and their customers

Cleaning and greening public spaces and introducing a recycling initiative

Efficiently using resources to provide solutions for the challenges faced and posed by people living on the streets

Upgrading of private and public spaces

Drawing new investors into the area

Providing public safety and security measures in public areas

Why is our work important?

We want to be both a solution to our current challenges and prevent potential pitfalls. To prevent urban decay, traffic congestion, pollution and crime we have considered the impact that large volumes of commuters into the WID area have.

To a comfortable feeling of safety in Wynberg, the community must invest morally and work with the City of Cape Town to upgrade public facilities.

The revitalisation, promotion and urban management of Wynberg will include improving the Public Transport Interchange. This will aid in providing visitors to the Wynberg community with a pleasant working, living, and recreational experience.

How to get involved

The Wynberg Improvement district together with Geocentric, SAPS, local business and property owners and the City of Cape Town are doing our part in creating a cleaner, healthier, and safer Wynberg for all and we would love your support.
