Common Committee Noordhoek Ratepayers Association

The Commons Committee is a portfolio of the Noordhoek Ratepayers Association (NRPA), operating from the Community Centre in Noordhoek. Its mandate is to manage “the Common”: a shared open space in Noordhoek used by residents for recreation, cultural events, horse-and-pony activities, film shoots, weddings, picnics, and more, while ensuring environmental protection under an approved Environmental Management Plan. Key points:

• Contact / Location: Beryl Brown is the contact; the Committee is based at ­Noordhoek Community Centre, 25 Avondrust Circle, Noordhoek, Cape Town.
• Usage & Permits: If you want to use the Common for an event (kids’ party, wedding, movie shoot, etc.), you must apply in advance. Fees apply depending on the entity (e.g. weddings, pony parties, larger events).
• Rules / Restrictions: Some restrictions are enforced to protect nature and local lifestyle: e.g., no jumping castles without permit, limited car access for certain events, no parking on the Common for small events except if approved.
• Purpose & Goals: The Committee’s mission is balancing enjoyment of the Common by the community with sustaining its environmental integrity; maintaining natural heritage; ensuring open access and preserving rural character.
