Geocentric is the management company that manages the Maitland CID. In working with local SAPS we have clamped down on the free movement of shopping trolleys and wheelie bins and are very pleased with the results. As the newspaper article indicates we have often found stolen property in shopping trollies and wheelie bins including air conditioners or parts thereof and other metal objects of value including lamp posts and street name signs.

Geocentric initiated an information and education programme on wheelie bins and shopping trollies called “Save the Trolley” some years ago and present this to all interested groups such as neighbourhood watches to alert people of the negative impact that these activities may have on their area.

Gene Lohrentz from Geocentric addresses a public meeting about the Jonkershoek SRA

The steering committee of the Jonkershoek SRA appointed Geocentric to assist them to establish a Special Rating Area (formally known as a City Improvement District).  Funded by Stellenbosch Watch, the process includes an SRA in a number residential suburbs of the town and also includes the agricultural properties of the Jonkershoek Valley.  The SRA is known as the Jonkershoek SRA.  Geocentric initially conducted a perception survey amongst residents in the area.  Based on the results the steeering committe saw merit in the concept and Geocentric was tasked to develop a complete business plan for the area.  The SRA application was submitted to the Stellenboasch Municipality on 30 September 2014.  More information is available at clicking on the link Jonkershoek SRA
