Finally, a reminder on how to contact the CID. Until our service providers are operational, please report all incidents of any type to CBCSI as usual by phoning 021 438 2000, or via the existing Telegram groups or Buzzer. CBCSI will liaise with CID staff as needed.
If you have general enquiries about the CID, you can email us on connect@campsbaycid.org.

What is a CID
City Improvement District?
A City Improvement District (CID) also known as a Special Rating Area (SRA) is a clearly defined geographical area in which property owners pay additional property rates to fund “top up” municipal services to improve or upgrade that specific area.
SRAs can be commercial, industrial, residential or a combination of any of these and are known as Improvement Districts, City Improvement Districts, Business Improvement Districts, or Community Improvement Districts.
“Top up” services typically include:
- additional public safety;
- cleansing services;
- urban maintenance;
- upgrading of the environment; and
- social upliftment
ABout the project
A noticeable decline in safety & security, and a steady increase in vagrants and criminal elements around the beachfront, drove a team of residents to start a process that will transform Camps Bay.
