Benefits of Membership

Parktown is one of Johannesburg’s oldest suburbs.  We have some of the most beautiful buildings and desirable neighbourhoods.  We want to keep Parktown this way.  We are the northern “gateway” to the City which gives us an important place but it also puts pressure on us as the City grows and expands.  A strong Association is able to collect the residents’ desires and communicate them with the City Council, Provincial Heritage Agency and other Governments agencies as required. We have annual requirements for Council budgeting via our Ward Councillor and planning input into the Council’s Precinct Plan. We need your support to help us do this.

Our Association Committee, elected by the community at the AGM in November every year, is all voluntary.  The members meet monthly and put many hours of service beyond the monthly meetings.  The Committee is assisted by a part-time Secretary to whom the Committee is indebted as Elaine is able to do much for the Committee in managing the membership, finances and many of the daily tasks.

We encourage all residents to join the Association, your financial support is needed to ensure we can employ experts for the suburb’s input into the Council’s Precinct Plan, to pay for legal council as required for DFAs and the property tribunals which happen regularly throughout the year. Join us now

We encourage residents who can give some time to the Association, be it an hour every couple of months to distribute the newsletters to your street, or as a Committee member.  If you can contribute, please will you call Elaine on 482-3349 or email parktown@intekom.co.za.
