Clifton CID

The community of Clifton highly values the exceptionally beautiful natural surrounds and aspires to preserve the quality of life and the overall ambience of the unique Clifton suburb – and to facilitate the safe and enjoyable use of the Clifton scenic route, the beaches and the public areas by the community, visitors and tourists.

The Clifton City Improvement District was established in 2023 to deliver on this promise.  Working in the public spaces of Clifton, we provide a public safety service, cleaning and greening services on the streets and in the parks, as well as outreach services to vulnerable community members.  In addition to our core programmes, we’ll be scoping and activating a range of projects in the coming years, all designed to improve the public spaces for all who live and visit here.  We work closely with a range of departments in the City.

We’re a City Improvement District (special rating area), funded by property owners in a defined area of Clifton. Governed by the Municipal Property Rates Act and relevant bylaws, we focus on providing top-up services to those delivered by the City of Cape Town.
