We believe that you are an expert in your area and have seen the positive change we can make first-hand. You know better than anyone, where our precious resources are best spent and we value your contribution in helping us plan for future projects.
The legislative structure governing much of our work in your area is up for amendment. We hope that the proposed changes of making the processes of starting and running a CID more structured will improve the efficiency of CIDs citywide.

Bestselling entrepreneurial author Jim Rohn once said, “The good things we build – end up building us”. In the Wynberg Improvement District (WID) district, our streets are no utopia, but at WID we are committed to collaboratively improving our community. We believe that improvement is contagious – which is why we have initiated our Facade Improvement Programme (FIP). The FIP is specifically designed to encourage businesses, like yours, to invest in the curb appeal of your premises. Knowing that we at the Wynberg Improvement District are working to protect your property from vandalism and malicious degradation.
The FIP is part of an investment journey that we as business owners, community members, municipal bodies and the WID walk. Ultimately, we work to repair urban decay and improve the socio-economic environment of the Wynberg Improvement District.
Our Facade Improvement Programme is a tool for inner-city revitalisation based on the formal processes successfully used in American cities. The protocol is well documented to restore citizens local pride, create a unique urban character, and repair the functionality of an urban area. Studies by the University of Wisconsin found that even small outlays have a positive impact on landlords, business owners and employees.
Wynberg Improvement District – Keeping the streets clean of litter to make sure that your facade improvement remains clean and attractive to your new visitors.
For Property Landlords Facade Improvement can:
Generate more revenue due to new occupancy in previously unoccupied commercial spaces.
Increase the economic return with existing renters due to facility and facade improvements.
Improve the resale value for landlords looking to sell their property.
Make interior improvements more cost-effective and efficient due to running the construction in conjunction.
Grow the number of first-time customers by up to 80%.
Improve sales by up to 90% for people with businesses in mixed-use areas.
Provide publicity and recognition to pique the interest of new, diverse customers thereby stabilizing businesses’ income stream in times of economic instability.
Create healthy competition by making other local businesses feel an urgency to improve their facades and facilities to maintain a competitive edge.
It’s clear that facade improvements are a catalyst for many positive changes. By attracting new customers and tenants they help inject more capital into our community thereby improving the financial microclimate of the Wynberg Improvement District. Not to mention, increasing the overall employee engagement and morale by creating a positive working environment.

The City of Cape Town’s Transport Directorate is currently busy with the resurfacing of various roads in the South. Read more below:
The ongoing work should be completed by the first week of May 2021, pending unforeseen delays and inclement weather.
The work is taking place from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 and 15:30, and entails the following:
the resurfacing of a portion of Tennant Road between Highwick Drive and Lovers Walk in Kenilworth;
the resurfacing of a portion of Main Road between Malton Road and Stilton Road in Wynberg; and
the resurfacing of a portion of Main Road between Blenheim Road and Waterbury Road in Plumstead.
Residents and motorists should please note that:
traffic moving on Tennant Road from Alexandra Road towards Newlands Road will be temporarily deviated around Tennant Road on either Main Road or Alexandra Road;
traffic moving on Main Road from Malton Road towards Constantia Road will be temporarily deviated around Main Road via Ebor Road and Lester Road; and
traffic moving in the northbound lane on Main Road will be temporarily accommodated in contra-flow in the southbound lane.
‘The roadworks are part of our continuous road maintenance programme and we are working around the clock to ensure service delivery. Regular maintenance is implemented to prolong the longevity of Cape Town’s road network, which is one of our city’s biggest assets to ensure that people and goods can move. It is also aimed at improving general road safety.
‘I also want to urge residents to please exercise extra caution around the construction sites. Although no road closures are anticipated with any of these works, where necessary, flag personnel will regulate traffic flow either by temporary lane diversions or temporary lane closures. We will also have signage in place and we appeal to residents to comply with the signage that is displayed during the construction period and ensure that their vehicles are not parked in an obstructive manner. This will ensure that the project runs without disruptions and are completed within the timeframe,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Alderman Felicity Purchase.
Furthermore, we anticipate that traffic flow will be impeded in areas where construction is taking place and they may be congested. It is recommended that road users consider using alternative roads as far as possible.
The City is seeking comments or suggestions on the Review of the City of Cape Town’s Development Management Scheme
The City of Cape Town’s Development Management Scheme (DMS), which is a schedule to the City of Cape Town’s Municipal Planning By-law, 2015 (MPBL), applies to all land within the geographical area of the City, including land owned by the state.
