Membership
The Elgin Grabouw Residents and Ratepayers Association represents local residents, advocating for community interests and improved services in the Grabouw area.
Why Become a Member
EGRRA is a legally constituted and recognised association on the Tweewaterskoof representing rate paying households, whether owned or rented. Our members strengthen our representation, guide the EGRRA committee, and enhance our influence.
We encourage all residents and ratepayers to be members of the association.
We offer special reduced rates for community housing schemes such as Estates, Complexes and Apartments.
The annual membership fee is based on the total number of units/households in the estate/complex/apartment.
Please contact us for more information at info@egrra.co.za.
Why pay a membership fee?
Although the executive committee is made up of unpaid volunteers, there are some expenses that need to be taken care of.
Amongst others, these include the following:
- Due to the growth in relevance, expanding range of issues to address and the necessity of speed of access and response, the EGRRA committee uses the services of a virtual and part time Executive Officer to assist with management,
- communication and administration;
- We have operational, communication and website expenses;
- Membership fees are modest and used for the above. For special projects, and in cases where legal action is required, EGRRA implements dedicated fund-raising initiatives for those specific issues. In so doing, costs are focused, transparent and project driven. EGRRA is in currently an Not-for-Profit Organisation (NPO) status in order to expand its activities in social investment projects.
What is EGRRA ?
The Elgin and Grabouw Residents and Ratepayers Association (EGRRA) is a non-political, non-profit civil society organization committed to the sustainable development of the Valley and the advocacy of residents' and ratepayers' interests, particularly the provision of quality municipal services in exchange for rates paid. EGRRA is governed by an Executive Committee that serves on a voluntary basis and acts as the representative body for "the South" of the Theewaterskloof (TWK) Municipality.
We actively collaborate with the TWK Local Municipality, other relevant government bodies, and appointed organizations such as SAPS. Additionally, we maintain strong ties with Ward Councillors, Neighbourhood Watches, and various local, provincial, and national entities.
