ESTATE NEWS
from the Estate
MANAGER
Dear Residents
Since the start of spring, and as we move
closer to summer, it is clear to see that
the nature around us are just as excited
about the warmer weather. Birds are
more prominent in our eco areas and with
the arrival of new game to the Nature
Reserve, we all have even more reason
to visit this lovely piece of heaven in our
midst, more frequently. We’ve noticed
that the lovely weather has also inspired
many of you to become more active. It
is an excellent time of the year to return
to any of your New Year goals and get
busy.
May each and all of you enjoy a great
spring, and even greater start to summer.
Just a reminder to keep to the speed limit
30 km/h within the gates of the Estate.
Please ensure that all dogs are on a leash
when they leave your premises and that
they are under someone’s direct control
at all times, especially entering the Eco
area. We often end up with pets roaming
the Estate freely and often, they are
brought to the security office at the gates
for safe keeping.
The security personnel and HOA staff
do not have the facilities to keep and
care for these animals while their
owners are located. It is a requirement
per the Estate rules that pets are tagged
with some form of identification or
contact details so that we know who to
contact when your four legged friend
is found.
Our animal guardian angel, Barbara
Galanos at the HOA office, offered
her assistance and requested that all
pet owners send her a picture of their
pet/s with their contact details to help
her compile a Pet Owners database.
Please contact Barbara on Barbara@
century.co.za in this regard and thank
you, Barbara for this great initiative.
Pets do however remain the owner’s
responsibility.
“Life doesn‘t require that we
be the best, only that we try
our best.“
