All bodies corporate and individual homeowners’ associations will belong to the Sibaya
Management Association (SMA), which is yet to be established. It will be responsible for
participation in the Sibaya Conservation Trust overseeing the design review process, security,
landscaping, and maintenance, as well a s the implementation and management of the
operational management plan. These entities will be run by Tongaat Hulett Developments for the
full duration of the development period, after which residents will take over their management.
Because Sibaya is essentially a suburb or small town, there is a thoroughfare of traffic, both
pedestrian and vehicular. Careful planning between Iyer Urban Design Studio and Rob Anderson
& Associates Consulting Security Engineers will enable all open areas and boulevards to be
monitored by a control room housing state-of-the-art security equipment. Access to the
various residential development and commercial enterprises in the precinct is controlled by the
respective bodies corporate.
A conservation trust will be established to ensure the management, maintenance and
rehabilitation of ecologically sensitive areas. In addition, the trust will oversee visitor access
to this previously inaccessible environment. The environmental management programme will
provide further oversight of construction activities and ensure sound management once builders
have left the site.
Developers are encouraged to make use of energy-saving and water-harvesting features, as
well as natural lighting and ventilation, in response to the overarching architectural vision.
Infrastructural installations will not only serve Sibaya, but also enhance services to neighbouring
communities.
A design review process will be implemented for all development undertakings and will involve
the establishment of a design review panel, together with appropriate design guidelines and a
development manual, which will include the approved environmental management programme
designed to preserve and protect natural areas and indigenous vegetation.
