Consent form – https://www.eldoheights.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Eldo-Heights-Consent-June2022-REV-05.pdf
Good day, Eldo Heights residents. Firstly a big thank you to all the volunteers who have donated their time and resources to help make the project a reality. We have managed to reconcile our numbers since the 18th of April deadline and reviewed the possible options, and the committee would like to recommend pursuing the entire area!
The deadline for the 18th focused on the strategic sectors to evaluate the participation per sector and revise the plan should a sector not want to be included in the closure.
We had purposely excluded the existing closures (complexes and Uitsig park) for the target consent, intending to approach them if the entire area was feasible. The existing closures have well-established communication channels, and we can address them at scale and believe that they will be more accommodating if we can demonstrate that the project is near feasible.
The below stats are per sector, and the overall percentage is based on the sum of the sectors which were the target for the deadline. These did not include some of the complex and pre-existing closures:
Sector A – 70% Consent
Edwards, Ewald, Frederik, Henri, Koos Smal, Marinus, Shirley, Wilhelm
Sector B – 45% Consent
Ireland Avenue, Probert, Winston Road, Wynne Road, Weavind Avenue
Sector C – 35% Consent
Colleen Nook, Drienie Street, Little Lane, Mulder’s Mile, Shamrock Nook
Sector D – 37% Consent
Summer Place, The Woodpeckers, Frizzante Close, Justin Crescent, Kort Street, Maritane Place, Swallow’s Nest
Sectors E – 66% Consent
Caley, Swart, Fitzgerald
Overall Sector Consent: 55% , not including complex and pre-existing closures.
The numbers look positive, and if you have been following the map you would have seen the movement over the past few weeks. The committee is optimistic and ready to start the next steps:
We have had concerns that have been raised about the consent form, which requires you to sign a limited power of attorney.
The power of attorney is required to submit to the council and the consent form is worded to limit the usage only in the submission of the application and does not invoke any other powers. We are also open to any suggestions to modify the wording as long as it still conforms to the Council’s requirements.
We are also starting the process of getting quotes on the building and operation phase to ensure that we can provide the residents with a detailed budget with supporting quotes describing the phase 2 construction and setup costs and what benefits the operation levies will provide.
These quotes are for us to refine the budget and will not influence the selection of the final vendors, and the final selection will have to follow a defined procurement process ratified by the HOA.
Next steps :
Communicate to the complexes, Eldo 3 Manor and Uitsig Park to drive participation
There are a few existing consent forms that need to be resigned, and residents will be contacted (pre-POPI or not initialled)
Re-confirmation and validation of data as it originated from various sources and there were changes of ownership
Source quotes to create a detailed budget and define the monthly benefits
Prepare for the Impact studies planned to commence in August to submit to the council in Sept / Oct 2022.
