The Dolphin Coast Residents and Ratepayers Association (Docrra) team is going to be monitoring the following important events in order to give feedback to both KDM and Dolphin Coast residents and ratepayers.
These include:
• KwaDukuza municipality (KDM) annual report for 2019/2020 – The delayed report is being tabled on Thursday, January 28 at 9am at a virtual council meeting and promises to be packed with audited information on the performance of the municipality.
• Half-yearly performance reports – The obligatory half-yearly performance reports on the current budget and departments always generates a lively series of sessions and interaction.
• Roads and Traffic Plan – The long-awaited plan for the area should soon be ready for stakeholder engagement and input.
• Revaluation of Properties – During February and March, the revaluation of properties will be made available and will require feedback from ratepayers. This is done every 4 to 5 years and will have a major impact on ratepayers over the next period.
• KDM Operational and Capital Budget for 2021/22 – Soon after the revaluation, the preparation of the new KDM Operational and Capital Budget for 2021/22 commences. This takes effect in July this year.
• Municipal elections – Sometime in early 2021 the new municipal elections will also be announced.
These events are over and above all the regular activities that Docrra attends to and the committee is standing ready to represent residents and ratepayers of the Dolphin Coast.
Docrra’s new membership year starts in March, and our AGM is scheduled for mid-May.
To support and have your say, as an active citizen, in the affairs that affect us all, and impact on our lifestyle and property values, please join Docrra.
The more community representation and support we have, the more influence we have.
Therefore, we urge you to become a member by either emailing us admin@docrra.co.za or accessing docrra.co.za/membership/.
Docrra remains committed to support the community by sharing relevant information, and exerting the influence of the Dolphin Coast community on KDM in particular, but also all relevant community structures and organisations.
Of particular interest, the Dolphin Coast Outreach initiative, and the close working relationship Docrra is fostering with the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).
In addition, our members have access to our Docrra benefits card which enables local businesses the opportunity to offer special discounts to our members.
For more details on this initiative, and the catalogue of businesses currently offering the discounts, visit the Docrra website.
The Docrra committee will continue to promote and protect the interests of all residents and ratepayers within our jurisdiction.
