Road Safety
The road safety petition forms signed by the community are being delivered to Ndlambe Traffic for forwarding to Provincial Traffic.
What we stand for
Interests
The Residents and Ratepayers Association is constituted in order to promote the interests of residents and ratepayers in Bathurst and surrounds. We are also concerned that the rule of law and municipal and other services are maintained and developed.
Balance
We also seek to see that a balance between economic activity and village life is fairly maintained and reasonably accessible to all, in so doing preserving and enhancing the nature of Bathurst as a rural village.
Support
The BR&RA is entirely manned by volunteers from the community and relies on the support of other volunteers for the successful completion of projects
A good liaison between the Bathurst Residents and Ratepayers Association and the Ndlambe Municipality is highly desirable.
BR&RA will hold an open, informal meeting every second month – January, March, May, July, September – and our AGM again in November.
For on-going information on BR&RA activities and other things happening in Bathurst, check our website.
Let us know if there is a topic you’d like explored at one of the 2025 open meetings.
BR&RA committee meetings will be held monthly.
Projects identified and what we are working on
There are many community initiatives and projects that need attention. We will report on those that are in progress on a ongoing basis.
New Walkway
A suggestion from the Bathurst Striders to create a walkway along the Bathurst stream from Davies to Trappes street is welcome. The possibility of the trail is in the planning stage.
