Geocentric was appointed as the management company for the Maitland City Improvement District (Maitcid) in October 2012. Geocentric took over the management of the Maitcid and made vast improvements to the management of the area in a very short time as supported by complimented from city officials, politicians, property owners and the general public on how much the area have changed since we took over the management of the area.
As part of our new management plan Geocentric planned and executed various SAPS and law enforcement operations to re-establish the rule of law and get the public to respect the rules and regulations of society, including laws and by-laws in every respect. In addition, the deployment and activates of the public safety patrols were redesigned, and patrol officers were issues with new high-visibility uniforms.
In support of the urban management challenges of the area, Geocentric redesigned the entire urban cleaning process for the area and re-established positive working relationships with the various City of Cape Town officials and line departments.
This process was followed by efforts to survey, photograph, report and monitor urban maintenance defects throughout the area resulting in numerous issues being resolved in a very short time.
Recently Geocentric launched a new website for the Maitcid (www.maitcid.co.za) and also launched and electronic newsletter for the Maitcid which will be sent to all the property and business stakeholders in the area.
Geocentric also launched the Social Work Action Team in January 2013. This is a project that provides work to previously homeless and destitute people found living on the streets of Maitland.
