INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROADS UPGRADE FOR GEORGE

George residents will have noted an increase in road works all over town, heralding widespread upgrading of roads used by the GO GEORGE bus service.

A list of George Integrated Public Transport Network (GIPTN) infrastructure requirements was assessed by the National Department of Transport which subsequently allocated additional Public Transport National Grant funding of R505 million for some of the projects needed to improve and expand GO GEORGE infrastructure. The infrastructure upgrade projects will include the installation of new bus stops and shelters, road rehabilitation, upgrading of stops, transfer locations and sidewalks, traffic management and road maintenance.

Road rehabilitation
These projects will have most impact on road users. Details of road closures and proposed rerouting will continuously be shared with the public.

Work in Pacaltsdorp will start mid-September, with planned construction timelines as follows:
Mission Street: mid-September 2024 – March 2026
Protea Street: mid-September 2024 – April 2025
Heather, Haydn and Rose Streets: mid-September 2024 – March 2026

In Thembalethu the planned timelines are as follows:
Ngcakani and Ncamanza Streets: mid-September 2024 – October 2025
Tabata and 26th Streets: mid-September 2024 – March 2026

In George Industria work has been ongoing for a few months already in PW Botha Boulevard with completion planned for March 2026.

Rosemoor roadworks have already commenced with planned timelines as follows:
Beer and Woltemade Streets: end-August 2024 – April 2025
O’Connell Street: end-August 2024 – April 2025

In Heather Park a small section of Airway Street will be under construction from mid-September 2024 until December 2024.

The Wellington Street intersection improvement in Bo-Dorp have been ongoing since July and should be completed by October 2024.

Streets earmarked for rehabilitation were selected based on physical inspections to identify areas showing critical signs of deterioration.

Rehabilitation will entail reparation of severe crocodile cracking, structural failures and low points on roads where stormwater concentrates without catch pits, rightsizing of intersections, road re-alignments and kerbside improvements to conform with universal accessibility requirements.

The George Municipality apologises for the inconvenience and appeals to road users to adapt their travelling patterns (departure times, planning of trips, etc), be patient and exercise caution for the duration of the projects.

Please look out for and adhere to temporary road signage and be aware of roadwork personnel, as well as heavy machinery in the proximity of construction sites.

Details of further road upgrade work will be published as may be necessary

INFRASTRUKTUUR EN PADOPGRADERINGS VIR GEORGE

George-inwoners sou ‘n toename in padwerke opmerk regoor die dorp. Hierdie projekte lui wydverspreide opgradering van paaie wat deur die GO GEORGE-busdiens gebruik word in. Die Nasionale Departement van Vervoer het ‘n lys van die George Geïntegreerde Openbare Vervoernetwerk se infrastruktuurbehoeftes geassesseer en bykomende befondsing uit die nasionale openbarevervoerfonds bewillig vir sommige van die projekte wat nodig is om GO GEORGE-infrastruktuur te verbeter en uit te brei.

Die infrastruktuuropgraderingsprojekte sal die installering van nuwe bushaltes en skuilings, padrehabilitasie, opgradering van bushaltes, oorklimpunte en sypaadjies, verkeersbestuur en padinstandhouding insluit.

Padrehabilitasie
Hierdie projekte sal die grootste impak op padgebruikers hê.

Besonderhede van padsluitings en voorgestelde herleiding sal deurlopend met die publiek gedeel word.

Werk in Pacaltsdorp begin middel September, met beplande tydlyne vir konstruksie soos volg:
Missionstraat: middel September 2024 – Maart 2026
Proteastraat: middel September 2024 – April 2025
Heather-, Haydn- en Rosestraat: middel September 2024 – Maart 2026

In Thembalethu is die beplande tydlyne soos volg:
Ngcakani- en Ncamanzastraat: middel September 2024 – Oktober 2025
Tabata- en 26ste straat: middel September 2024 – Maart 2026

In George Industria is werk reeds ‘n paar maande aan die gang in PW Botha Boulevard met voltooiing wat vir Maart 2026 beplan word.

In Rosemoor het konstruksie reeds begin met beplande tydlyne soos volg:
Beer- en Woltemadestraat: einde Augustus 2024 – April 2025
O’Connellstraat: einde Augustus 2024 – April 2025

In Heatherpark sal ‘n klein gedeelte van Airwaystraat van middel September 2024 tot Desember 2024 onder konstruksie wees.

Die Wellingtonstraat-kruising in Bo-Dorp is reeds sedert Julie aan die gang en behoort teen Oktober 2024 voltooi te wees.

Strate wat vir rehabilitasie geoormerk is, is gekies op grond van fisiese inspeksies om gebiede te identifiseer wat kritieke tekens van agteruitgang toon. Rehabilitasie behels die herstel van ernstige krokodilkrake, strukturele ineenstorting en lae punte op paaie waar stormwater konsentreer sonder vangputte, regstelling van grootte by kruisings, padherbelynings en verbeterings aan randstene om aan universele toeganklikheidsvereistes te voldoen.

Die George Munisipaliteit vra om verskoning vir die ongerief en doen ‘n beroep op padgebruikers om hul reispatrone (vertrektye, beplanning van reise, ens.) aan te pas, geduldig en versigtig te wees vir die duur van die projekte. Wees asseblief op die uitkyk (en gehoorsaam) vir tydelike konstruksieborde en bewus van padwerkpersoneel, sowel as swaar masjinerie in die nabyheid van konstruksieterreine.

Besonderhede van verdere padopgraderingswerk sal gepubliseer word soos nodig

MUNICIPAL COURT NOTICE 4

What happens if I don’t pay or contest my fine?
•Failure to make payment or attend to the Municipal Court on your court date may result in a warrant for your arrest being authorised, which carries an additional fine for contempt of court.

What happens if a warrant for my arrest has been authorised?
•You may elect to pay an admission of guilt fine for your contempt of court. Note that this is an additional admission of guilt fine over-and-above your fine.
•Note that paying an admission of guilt fine for your contempt of court does not equate to an admission of guilt of the charges against you per your fine. You may therefore still dispute the charges, proceed with trial, and/or make representations for the reduction of your fine should you wish to pay accordingly.
•Should you dispute your contempt of court or be unable to pay an admission of guilt fine for your contempt of court, you shall be brought before the Municipal Court for a warrant enquiry.

Executive Mayor Jackie von Brandis met with Khanyisile Fortuin, Special Programmes & Project Coordinator for George Social Development, and Gita November, Health Advocacy Officer for Gender Dynamix, to promote participation in this week’s Queer and Trans Imbizo which culminates in a Pride Parade and evening entertainment scheduled for Saturday, 7th September, at Rosemoor Stadium. Two days of workshops will feature Dr. Nicole Chillimagras and Elliot Kotze, two medical practitioners specializing in gender-affirming healthcare. Their services are commissioned by Gender Dynamix, Africa’s leading organization for the transgender and gender-diverse community, as part of efforts to bring gender-affirming healthcare to local primary care facilities.

The George Municipal Social Development LGBTQIA+ Help Desk, established in May 2022, has grown significantly in its ability to assist the community. Through the Reactors Programme, facilitated by Gender Dynamix and the Social Health and Empowerment (SHE) Organization, the Help Desk offers psychosocial support, advice, and referrals for those facing human rights violations.

Services offered include one-on-one sessions with social workers, monthly support group meetings, referrals to safe spaces, human rights advocacy, ongoing education on rights and safe sex practices (including sensitization training and condom distribution), visibility in the community, and community outreach to assist those in need of advice or support. The Help Desk also supports special events such as Pride Month in June, Human Rights Day, Freedom Day, and World AIDS Day. A key upcoming event is the Queer and Trans Imbizo at Rosemoor Stadium on Saturday, 7th September.

For more information, contact the Community Development Section at 044 802 2000 or visit their offices at the corner of Varing and St. John’s Streets.

Television Show Set Construction Underway at Garden Route Dam in George

The Garden Route Dam, a natural setting for the George community, is currently playing host to a popular South African television show set. The project, which commenced earlier this month, is scheduled to restrict public access to some areas around the dam between 20 October to 24 November with no impact on regular walkers and cyclists.

This initiative is a significant milestone for the emerging film industry in the region, promising to boost local economic development. The set construction will employ various structures that harmonise with the natural beauty of the area, ensuring that all materials used are locally sourced and primarily composed of wood. The aesthetic design respects the serene environment, carefully integrating the new structures into the existing landscape.

To ensure that this project adheres to all local by-laws and regulations, the producers are working closely with George Municipality, the George Fire and Disaster Services with regard to the relevant health and safety conditions, and the municipal Civil Engineering Services Department division of water and sanitation. This collaboration ensures that all activities are conducted with the highest standards of safety, environmental responsibility, the necessary permits, and respect for the local community. This disruption is temporary, and the site will be evacuated and all temporary structures at the picnic spot be removed and reopened by 1 December 2024.

This project brings with it substantial economic benefits to George and the surrounding communities. Local businesses, including sawmills, security firms, construction material suppliers, event planning and management companies, and catering services, are all playing critical roles in supporting the production. This collaboration not only strengthens the private sector but also creates job opportunities and injects much-needed revenue into the local economy.

“We are thrilled to be part of this unique project, which not only showcases the beauty of our region on a national stage but also provides a significant boost to the local George economy,” said Joan Shaw, Tourism Manager. The production team appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation during this period and looks forward to showcasing the beauty of George in the upcoming television show.

For any urgent queries regarding the project, please contact Heloine Crowley 044 801 9293 | film@visitgeorge.co.za
