Statutory Mandate
The Blackheath City Improvement District NPC is governed by the CID By-law and Section 22 of the Municipal Property Rates Act. Its main responsibility is to consider, develop, and implement improvements and upgrades within the geographical area of the Blackheath City Improvement District, supplementing services provided by the CCT.
Funding for these initiatives comes from additional rates collected by the CCT from qualifying property owners within the CID’s registered boundaries. The collected rates are then allocated to the company according to the aforementioned legislation. The CID may also receive additional funding through local fundraising initiatives.
In managing these funds, the company operates under the oversight of the CCT, adhering to the CID By-law and CID Policy, as well as the public procurement principles enshrined in Section 217 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. These measures ensure transparency, accountability, and effective use of resources for the improvement and development projects within the Blackheath City Improvement District.
