The Ballito UIP Cleaning, Greening, and Maintenance Team has been diligently working throughout August to maintain and enhance the beauty and functionality of our precinct. Our efforts are focused on keeping the area clean, green, and well-maintained, ensuring a safe and pleasant environment for all residents and visitors.
Keeping Ballito Clean and Green
Throughout the month, our team has utilized close to 3,400 refuse bags to manage waste around the precinct. Additionally, over 4,000 dog waste bags have been used, highlighting our commitment to keeping public spaces clean and hygienic for everyone.
Key cleaning and greening tasks completed include:

Infrastructure Repairs and Special Projects
Our team has also addressed several important infrastructure issues this month:
- Catch Pit and Stormwater Drain Repairs: We replaced two catch pit drains and covers at Hawkins Car Park and Foch Le Roux, as well as three stormwater drain covers across the precinct. These repairs are crucial for maintaining effective drainage and preventing flooding.
