We are making a start!

After months of hard work to gain support and submit an application to the City of Cape Town for establishment, the Strand Business Improvement District (SBID) will take its first few steps on 15 October 2014. The City of Cape Town approved the SBID application on the 29th of May 2014. Given this approval the SBID had to comply with a number of administrative requirements in order to become operational.

The SRBID Vision
The vision of the SBID is to establish and maintain a safe, clean, well-managed CBD area that attracts and retains business investment and attractive retail opportunities

The SRBID Mission

The full operational deployment of the SBID includes a dedicated full time BID manager, a public safety deployment of foot patrollers  and an urban maintenance group that will perform additional cleaning and urban maintenance tasks in the SBID area.

The Strand Business Improvement District Board appointed Geocentric to manage the SBID. The Geocentric Manager appointed to manage the area is Johan Erasmus.
