Background information
Many people think that the staff
working at the Greater Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve are Cape Nature
employees. Cape Nature is the provincial authority for provincial nature
reserves. Zandvlei is a proclaimed local authority nature reserve, meaning it is
a City of Cape Town property.
Your rates pay for the infrastructure and the annual running of all the 24
official City of Cape Town Nature Reserves within the Metropole. These reserves
fall under the Environmental Resourse Management Department.

Any improvements in capital and operating budgets are dependent on how strong
the lobby is for environmental management - finance allocation. The proportion
is determined from the 5 year IDP (Intergrated Development Policy) inputs.
The policy is open for annual public comment, on how "our rates should be
spent". The formal way is to let your Ward Councillor know your
views. Daily and weekend newspapers advertise for public input when it is
up for review. You are encouraged to submit a written reply.
