Sundowner Residents' Association

A resident within the borders of Sundowner becomes a SRA member by applying for membership and paying monthly membership fees.

• Members of the SRA Residents Association are only accepted with the approval of the Committee.
• The committee is authorized to revoke membership at any time within reason.

INCENTIVES TO CURRENT PAYING MEMBERS SIGN UP NEW MEMBERS:

Current paying members are encouraged to talk to their non-paying friends and neighbours and convince them to sign up:
 
For every non-member that joins, introduced by an existing member, the introducing member will be paid a refund of R250 on their membership subs for the month in which the new member joins. At the end of the year, there will be an additional prize at the AGM for the member with the highest number of new member introductions.

If you are selling your property, or aware of new neighbours moving into the area we kindly request that you inform the buyer about the SRA and the costs and benefits associated therewith.

Anne Koppenaal will arrange membership literature when necessary and if needed a couple of committee members will come around and meet with you and your introduces to assist in the process
 
So as soon as you have someone interested, let Anne know and let’s get them signed up – it is even more in your own interest than it was before!!!

WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME A MEMBER OF THE SRA?

For the achievement of the SRA objectives and efficient running of the Sundowner Residents' Association we need all residents within the borders of Sundowner to sign up as members. To enable the SRA to provide these services, the residents of Sundowner need to become proactive as a community, talk to their neighbours, become involved and maintain their contributions on a continual monthly basis.

By becoming a SRA member, you:-

• Benefit by having boomed entrance gates with security guards provided by Piranha, a dedicated security vehicle (with Piranha and SRA markings) patrolling our streets. When suspicious persons or vehicles enter our community, the guards call the 24-hour patrol vehicle who will then escort them through the area.
• May have a transponder installed and linked to the Resident's alarm by our security service provider Piranha. This will provide a fully armed response service at no additional cost to the homeowner, as it is included in your monthly levy. Piranha will charge you a once off fee for the transponder; this would however be incurred with any service provider that you joined if you had an armed response service. Should you discontinue your monthly payment to the SRA, Piranha will terminate this armed response service.
• Have the right to vote at the Annual General Meeting;
• May be elected to the Committee;
• Live in a safe, secure and tidy neighbourhood where the value of your property is likely to increase due to the desirability of living in this neighbourhood.

WHAT ARE THE RESIDENTS ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE?

To provide ongoing security, residents are asked to contribute a monthly levy per household as follows:

• Monthly levies are R476 for houses
• Levies for complexes are variable at the moment. Townhouses without a drive-thru: R84 and townhouses with a drive-thru: R151
• Levies for pensioners are R207 at present. We need a card to confirm that they are on a pension fund.
• Dependant on new members signing up, we may even be able to reduce this fee in future.

How are paying SRA Members Identified?

By a board attached to their gates. This board shows the SRA logo and the street address of the participant. The purpose of this board is to show the support of the SRA by the community and for Piranha to effectively provide assistance to paying members. These boards will remain the property of the SRA and will be removed should any household stop contributing to the SRA.
