Irrigation New Sprinklers
Autoflow, the Estate’s irrigation contractor has recently completed the installation of automated sprinklers in Kubu Avenue. This
is the second area on the Estate to receive sprinklers; the first being Corobrik Road. It is the aim of the Management Associa-
tion that most areas on the on the Estate will eventually have sprinkler systems, which will be phased in annually. The next
anticipated area will be that of Riverhorse Road, once all existing development is completed.
New CCTV Cameras
The installation of 2 new CCTV cameras in Island Circle is complete, and those cameras are working well. The cameras were
installed to eliminate blind spots in Island Circle that had resulted from the development of properties whose building heights were
blocking CCTV coverage in certain areas. The Management Association’s thanks go to those members who have assisted in this
project.
Security Audit
G4S control room and reaction staff continue with their high standard of safeguarding on the Estate. Their collaborations with
SAPS and Metro Police ensure that the Estate continues to be as safe and secure an environment as possible. Recently the G4S
staff assisted the Management Association with a safeguarding audit of all the properties on the Estate. The purpose of the audit
was to raise awareness by identifying any areas on a members property which could be upgraded or improved from a safeguard-
ing point of view. The audit will continue with one-on-one interaction with each member by showing them the results of their audit,
and assisting with suggestions endorsed by Greenwood Park SAPS regarding those upgrades and improvements. The Manage-
ment Association may also be contacted directly by any members who would like the results of their audits sooner.
