MEERSIG SWIMMING POOL AREA
The 3 “Gazebo's on stilts” were completed. We are in the process of
building three, 8-man timber seating sets to be placed on these gazebos.
The stretch tent roofs are in the process of being sourced.
The pool water was drained and the concrete walkway between the circle
and the Camelot Spa building was demolished. All coping and other pavers
were removed and the area covered with screed. This will allow for the
installation of the new coping tiles and Belau timber decking around the
pool.
The open patio on top of the Leisure Desk was sealed with Derbigon and a
screed to allow for the new patio tiles to be installed. The bar area is being
constructed and phase 1 of the landscaping is being done.
Poolwise contractors are on site busy with the refurbishing of the
fibreglass of the pool, fitting new mosaic tiles, constructing the kids splash
pad and installation of the devices as well as checking and servicing of all
existing pumps, filters and pipes. The project will be completed by 29
September 2017, weather permitting.
MAIN ESTATE ENTRANCE AND MAIN ROAD TO 4-WAY STOP
Efforts were made to enhance the aesthetics of the main entrance and
1
roadway up to the 4-way stop by means of landscaping, changes in paint
colour and placement of new monkey bins. Furthermore, speed dips
outside of the main entrance up to the 4-way stop at the Sales Office, as
well as nearly all speed dips on the ring round, were changed into the new
cobble brick theme. Once again lots of positive comments were received
from homeowners and guests alike.
NEW DAM AT TRAFALGAR NEXT TO THE LAGOON
A Gabion-basket wall was installed on the western side of the golf pathway
leading up to the Trafalgar gate parking on the Estate next to Lot 16. The
height of the basket was increased by sandbags filled with a mixture of
sand and cement and then finished with a concrete slush. Two timber poles
for birds were also erected.
This structure serves as a weir wall so that the water on the western side
of the golf pathway will become deeper to form a dam where birds and
other wildlife can roam. It is also envisaged that a large timber deck with
seating and braai-facilities will be constructed in 2018 (hopefully sooner).
ESTATE WATER STORAGE FACILITY
Management is currently putting together a proposal to possibly install
water tanks on the Estate that will provide the Estate with an additional
day of water when the Estate is full, should a water supply problem occur.
