day.
➢ Call this no. to voice your discontent with bad synching :

Electricity
• Electrical infrastructure in Blairgowrie is pretty stable• Blairgowrie falls under 2 City Power Depots – namely
Hursthill and Randburg• 99,9% of overhead copper cables have been replaced with
Aluminium ABC cables• As a result cable theft is virtually non-existent. Just a few
streets in Ward 99 need to have cables replaced• Smart meter issues – some residents still have old Hefcom
meters which need to be replaced / some residents are still having billing issues and getting estimated readings on their COJ statements

Electricity• City Power are not keeping to their agreed response times for power outages –
sometimes taking more than 24 hours to arrive and sometimes not arriving at all
• All reported power outages/streetlights are handled by outside contractors – many times they are not knowledgeable about the work and don’t do a satisfactory job
• Many times jobs logged are closed by the system without being attended to
• Streetlights seem to be one of our biggest stumbling blocks at the moment – its really difficult to get them repaired – sometimes it takes a few days – others take several months with one excuse being that they don’t have spares for the lights
• City Power have started installing palisade fencing around the substation cnrBlairgowrie Drive and End Rd thanks to Cllr David Potter for arranging this – and here’s to hoping that this will also be done to the other unfenced substations in Blairgowrie
• Last but by no means least a huge thank you to the 3 Cllrs – Cllrs David Potter, Tim Truluck and Nicole van Dyk who have been a huge help and are always there when needed

• A BCA Town Planning Sub-Comm is being formed whose purpose is to:
• Assess Town Planning applications in our area submitted to the City, advise regarding Heritage Status and Educate: – What are residents and businesses permitted to build or do on
their properties?– What are the definitions of Residential 1 or Business 1 etc.?– How do residents know where to get further info if they intend
building or doing alterations?– What is the process and how long could it take?
• All of the above will be accessible on the BCA website in the coming year.

• Briefly, in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA) 1999, Section 34 (1) states:
• No person may alter or demolish any structure which is older than 60 years without a permit issued by the relevant heritage resources authority. In the case of Gauteng this authority is: Provincial Heritage Resources Authority – Gauteng (PHRA-G).
• Professional architects, draughtsman, drawing technicians etc. should be aware that building control departments are now calling for previously approved plans before submitting building drawings to Council for approval. They are particularly looking for a copy of the first proposed new residence plan which would enable them to determine the age of the structure/s on the property. If theses plan/s are not available a letter will be issued by the Local Authority stating that this is the case. If the structure is older than 60 years, a permit from the Heritage Authority WILL BE REQUIRED.

• One of the requirements of PHRA-G is that a Residents’/Ratepayers’ Association provide the Authority with a letter stating that they have inspected the drawings and that they either object or do not object to the newly proposed works. This letter will be issued by a Plans Committee that has been elected by the RA.
• Some building structures in Blairgowrie have already turned 60 while others while many more are heading toward that age so if you are contemplating alterations and/or additions to your property, please check with your professional as to whether you will require an application to be submitted. I too am willing to make myself available to advise and assist on these issues.
