Moving towards a clean, healthy, safe future for our community
Who we are
The City of Cape Town approved the establishment of the Salt River Business Improvement District (SRBID) and became operational in 2015.
The Salt River Improvement District (SRBID) works together with local businesses and urban management specialists to create a rich urban environment in which the Salt River community can thrive.

How we operate
We provide our municipal top-up services by combining our partnership resources with a rate levied from property within the SRBID. Our community interventions are designed to increase property investment, amplify job creation and encourage new consumers into the Salt River area.
The communication between service providers and the community is controlled by a control room, managed urban management specialists Geocentric. The control room runs 24/7 to ensure a constant line of communication between property owners and the security patrolmen and service providers.
Why is our work important?
We want to be both a solution to our current challenges and prevent potential pitfalls. To prevent urban decay, traffic congestion, pollution and crime we have considered the impact that large volumes of commuters into the SRBID area have.
To achieve a comfortable feeling of safety in Salt River, the community must invest morally and work with the City of Cape Town to upgrade public facilities.
The additional municipal services typically include the provision of additional public safety, cleansing services, maintenance and/or upgrading of the urban public environment and/or infrastructure and social services that address social issues in the area.
The additional rates paid by the property owners in the area means an equitable split based on municipal property valuation. The cost of the additional services allows individual property owners to benefit from a well-managed business node including a shared sense of communal pride, safety and social responsibility.
