GEORGE NEWS - The George municipal mapping portal is your gateway to intelligent maps, focused applications and other geoinformation for the city of George. 

Answering the "where" question for any project, initiative or important decision is now easy for everyone!

The municipal GIS public viewer contains valuable public information such as registered and surveyed properties, demarcation boundaries (wards) integrated zoning scheme, urban edge, property valuation and elevation (one-metre contours). 

This information can be accessed on the municipal website by clicking on the mapping icon or by following this link.

For your convenience, the surveyor-general website and Google Maps can also be used. Available applications include George in 3D and ready-to-print maps. The public will also be able to download publicly available data.

Data is updated regularly and ensures the public has access to live, relevant location information to help them make informed decisions. 

As location data becomes more important for businesses, residents and ratepayers, the municipality has seen a marked increase in users. Recently, a total of 7 500 web requests were made on the application in a 24-hour period, and 44 000 web requests over a seven-day period. 

These numbers have increased substantially in 2022 and have highlighted the need for location information.

George Municipality has upgraded the infrastructure to keep up with demand and this has increased average response times from five seconds to between one and two seconds. The municipality will continue to monitor and improve the location platform to ensure George is becoming a world-class city.
