A brief overview

 

What is a cluster ? Clusters are individual houses in a community where the owners own their own individual stands ranging from 200 m² to 1000 m² in size. The houses are built according to a theme, colours and alterations must conform to the theme. The owner is responsible for all rates, electricity, water consumption for the house & stand as well as all maintenance.

Gated community

 

The cluster is in a complex that is access controlled. A residents association is formed which collect a "levy" for the communal water & electricity usage, rates & maintenance for the internal roads, security expenses, and maintenance of the communal areas. All communal area is owned by the residents association.

 

Non-gated community

 

There is no access control to the community - only the individual stands have their own security. The roads in the community are generally cul-de-sacs. The municipality is responsible for the maintenance of the internal roads
