Frequently Asked Questions

No, but owners will be encouraged to include a drying yard in their plans during the HOA design review process.

The Estate’s landscaped vegetation (rehabilitated fynbos) will grow right up to the kerb and there will be no verges for public parking on the road. However, depending on how far forward the house is sited on the plot, each driveway should accommodate four cars outside the garage. Additional parking options are being investigated.

Kikuyu grass is prohibited in the Estate, as per the environmental conditions of approval for the development. The following grass species are permitted:
• Cynodon Dactylon (Bermuda grass)
• Stenotaphrum Secundatum (St Augustine grass)
• Eragrostis Curvula (African love grass)

Apart from cameras at the entrance area to monitor vehicles entering and leaving the Estate, the complete perimeter is covered by cameras.

The common areas, such as road verges, around stormwater ponds, and public walkways, will be irrigated in the short term to encourage the initial rehabilitation of fynbos. Once the fynbos in these areas is established, the irrigation will be removed. There will not be irrigation in the larger common areas where extensive clearing of alien vegetation will encourage the existing fynbos to re-establish and thrive. Only select areas at the entrance to the estate will receive conventional irrigation in the long term.

We have an alternative power source via solar and generator to support this infrastructure.
