Upper Crosby Community Gated Living, Peaceful Living

Proposing the idea of gating our suburb, we envision a safer and more secure environment that complements the charm of our neighborhood

Enhanced Security

A safer neighborhood

One of the primary benefits of a gated community is enhanced security. This added security can help reduce the risk of unauthorized entry and deter criminal activity, providing residents with a greater sense of safety.

Application.
Your voice matters, and your input is invaluable. Before we embark on the formal application process, we want to hear from you, our esteemed residents. Your thoughts, ideas, and concerns are the cornerstone of our decision-making process. We believe in inclusive decision-making that reflects the collective wisdom of our community. Your feedback will help us shape the direction of our future projects and initiatives, ensuring they align with your needs and aspirations. Together, we can build a community that we are all proud to call home
Schools.
Additionally, it is important to note that the proposed enclosed region encompasses several educational institutions, including Laerskool Jim Fouche, Suffah Learning Institute, University of Johannesburg Metropolitan Academy, and Johannesburg Muslim School. Furthermore, a considerable number of students from Vorentoe High School traverse this area daily to attend school, along with University of Johannesburg students. Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring that the operation of school pick-up and drop-off times will remain unimpeded, with all gates being open during these crucial hours.
Community Funded.
As a united community, we must collaborate to enhance the quality of our neighbourhood. The self-funded gated community will serve as a driving force for forthcoming initiatives dedicated to maintaining the safety and cleanliness of our shared space.

Ubuntu. Working Together.

In addition to the enhanced security measures involving gated access and increased security personnel, our vision is to hire dedicated grounds staff. Their responsibilities will encompass daily clean-up efforts, including litter removal, weed control, street sweeping, and regular washing to maintain a pristine environment within our community.

Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans to further bolster our community's security initiatives. This includes the installation of additional solar-powered streetlamps and the implementation of comprehensive camera surveillance systems at key entry points. These measures will significantly contribute to the overall safety and wellbeing of our residents.
