GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - Applications for fencing subsidies to assist landowners have opened.
Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) gives subsidies for fencing on a yearly basis to assist landowners on neighbouring rural roads with fencing of their properties. This is subject to a budget as received from the Western Cape Government.
The funding will only be applicable on a subsidy basis where 60% subsidy will be contributed towards the cost of the fencing.
According to a notice by the GRDM, all initial costs must be carried by the applicant and the subsidy will be paid out after the successful completion of the fence.
The new fences must adhere to the specifications of the Western Cape Roads Infrastructure Department. Minimum specifications will be made available to successful applicants.

All fences must be fully completed by 30 November 2022 for payment before 28 February 2023.
Payment will be done after an inspection and an approval for the fence has been made.
