My main request is that non-committee members establish a consultative forum and that we have a voice and constructive input into the Estate management and decisions, which we are part of, thank you.

Not sure if everyone saw the email notification around speed cameras. Concerned as seems this draft is to be implemented, people trained already and possibly equipment purchased.. 1) Im opposed to the speed cameras Im afraid - seen this cause unnecessary disputes as legally there is several concerns which in my opinion need to be tabled to HOA. 2) I noticed there is a new version of the Baronetcy HOA Committee Protocol dated June 2016.... Does anyone have ver1 - I have requested and not sure if anyone else was made aware of this change. Is anyone aware of a closed facebook group or something where all the home owners can air concerns?

Hi All Quick example, just received my monthly levy statement and had a charge of R500 to clear one of my sites. I was never asked to clean my site or informed that they will mow the lawn on my site that didnt have any grass. Key here is that nobody communicated this so totally unacceptable. I'm not paying building levies or these addl charges until we have this worked out. We currently have 52 erwe already signed up to this forum and counting.so should be min 60 by end of the week then we ask for special AGM to make change happen.

I am a resident who has just recently sold my house in the estate . I have also recently purchased a plot in phase 9. If I listen to all of the above and read all previous emails floating around, then i am becoming a concerned resident. This is such a beautiful estate to live in. Surely the fact that we are paying a premium price for the land and building enormous homes, that the HOA should listen to the cries and concerns of the residents. I am fully behind this cause.

1) Unfortunately its becoming very unpleasant to be part of a community where matters are being decided upon by a few individuals only. Any upgrade/changes to the estate are supposed to be voted on and homeowners advised accordingly. However this does not happen. We are paying for monthly levies so it is only fitting that we are informed of how the money is being spent. 2) The rules and penalties are getting completely out of hand! The rules are not clearly defined. And even when informing security, unreasonable decisions are being made and then penalty is imposed anyway. 3) Plans and subsequent changes take way too long and are not given the immediate attention they sometimes require.

I am an investor in Phase 9, the changing of rules on 'thumb suck' notices must stop. OWNERS MUST VOTE - on any proposed changes. URGENT AUDIT of Finances is needed to established WHO was awarded WHAT contracts and HOW. What are BUILDING LEVIES - WHO has benefitted from it thus far.

Dear All Please also feel free to let me know if you need me to act as your proxy for the upcoming AGM, just mail be on [email protected] so I can keep count of how many votes I will have Regards Ben

Dear All, we are getting closer to the AGM and want to add an agenda that we covered for all to vote on. Pls find the agenda and will really appreciate if you can advise who wants to be on the HOA plus send a short profile to [email protected]. Here is the agenda I want them to have to vote on: • 1. Home owners want the original architectural guidelines incl phase 9 unless enforced by municipality and all colours currently in the estate to be allowed incl vegetation unless damaging to the environment for all phases.If home is not approved while complying to initial architectural guidelines/guidelines enforced by municipality then the member can appeal. The appeal will be heard by architect, HOA and immediate surrounding neighbours (at least 4) that has equal voting rights to vote on the appeal. • 2. Home Owners want building levies scrapped because 50%+ of the estate didn’t have this. We propose a building levy after 15 months from breaking ground to ensure owners don't take to long to build their new home. • 3. Home Owners want HOA replaced with professional management team that has no direct benefit from members in the estate that is overseen by Home Owners Committee. The Management team and Home Owners Committee should have no benefit in the estate and only members can sit on the HOA for 1 year.The HOA should comprise of at least 10 members that are representative of the estate (Phases, Gender, Ethnic,Age) and key decisions can only be made if 5 or more HOA members are present at HOA meetings. • 4. Financials to be published annually online with notes of expenses and reasons for key capital decisions/changes made that cost the estate over R100 000 • 5. All key decisions costing over R100 000 need majority of homeowners approval through electronic vote, all meetings of HOA agenda and minutes to be published monthly in members area of website. • 6. Rules and penalties clearly defined and agreed on with members given an opportunity for remedial ac
