After at least 7 years of delay during which time KRRA has contacted developers, Spar, architects and the City with minimal or no response, we now have a set of updated plans for the proposed SPAR shopping centre just east of our traffic circle. These are out for comment until the 23 March 2026 as departures from the building regulations are being applied for and have to be dealt with before construction can begin. Departures from building regulations mostly concern the entr

There will be a public meeting regarding sewage spillage and river health concerns on Wednesday 21 January at the Kommetjie Primary School Hall starting 6pm.

The Kommetjie Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association (KRRA) has endorsed a submission by the Sunnydale Ratepayers’ Association (SRA) that objects to plans for 32 dwelling units on Capri Common -- a Critical Biodiversity Area (CBA).

We’re currently facing two significant wildlife health risks along our coastline — Avian Influenza and rabid/aggressive seals — and together they create an increased safety concern for residents, pets, and wildlife.

Contractors have been working overtime in the past couple of weeks to resolve a series of sewage spills between Kommetjie and Ocean View, which prompted numerous enquiries and concerns from residents -- the latest spills were caused by two sewage pipe collapses in Ocean View, which sent raw sewage into the stormwater system and the Bokramspruit. The Homeowners Association (HoA) of Riverside Village confirmed that five sewege spills have occurred within the village since Septe

After three years of negotiations, a 3-metre-wide tarred walkway and cycle path is finally being built between Kommetjie and Ocean View, which ensures safer passage for wheelchair users, parents with prams, children, and cyclists moving between our two communities. A huge thank-you to KRRA road safety principle Caro Smit from SADD ( www.sadd.org.za ) for her persistent, tireless work to make Kommetjie’s roads safer for all of us.
