3. GARA  Vision:  GARA’s vision is to become the most pro-active and lively neighbourhood in Midrand. The only way to achieve this vision is through the subscription of each and every ratepayer owner as prescribed in paragraph 3.  Aim:  To influence public policy on matters of concern.  Objectives:  To create a stable and secure environment for residents.  Preserve and enhance the aesthetic attributes and rustic (country) atmosphere of the area.  Safeguard and, where possible, enhance the ecology of Glen Austin.  Guide the infrastructural development of Glen Austin so that the present character is not adversely affected.  Encourage the residents of the area to get to know each other, to care for each other to work together.

4. Introduction and Background  Security has become a major issue in SA  increasing crime in Glen Austin  Closed off areas and security villages has become the preferred way of living  High volume of through traffic (Vehicle and Pedestrian) becoming problematic  Destruction of Glen Austin’s roads,  Criminal elements provide a threat  Property value increase – location of Glen Austin and what it offers provides significant scope for increases  Property value in Glen Austin lags behind other surrounding areas, and has significant upside potential  Permanent closure of Douglas and Donovan roads has already happened  Lynwood Manor success – Gary Duke  Glen Austin’s residents cannot afford to follow a passive approach for safety and security in our area

5. Conceptual Plan  GARA to provide overall coordination and assistance with legal process and quotes, and setting of standards  Glen Austin divided into 5 or 6 Blocks  Each block responsible for:  Appointing its own team  Owner buy-in  Legal application  Funding  Erection of structures  It is proposed that a standard be set for all six blocks to create uniformity and consistency, and benefit from pricing.

6. Conceptual Plan (cont)  Dividing roads  Allen road – Provincial road that can not be closed  Olifantsfontein road – Provincial road that can not be closed  George road: Earmarked as major artery by council; bridge over Gautrain already constructed  Eastern side of Allen and South of Olifantsfontein can be one block, resulting in 5 blocks
