Any amount due by a member by way of a levy, special levy, or other charge due to the association shall be a debt recoverable by the association. The obligation to pay levies ceases upon ceasing to be a member, but the association retains the right to recover arrears. Unpaid sums bear interest at the maximum rate permissible under the Usury Act, and legal costs incurred by the association in enforcing its claim are payable by the member.
Annual general meetings are held once a year, and extraordinary general meetings can be called by the committee or upon the written request of owners of at least 5% of the total number of erven.

The vision statement is to offer a secure, relaxed, and spacious lifestyle, with a concept of lush indigenous sub-tropical rehabilitation to restore the natural ambience and provide a sustainable environment for the future.
The Environmental Management Plan was prepared to rehabilitate the land of Beverley Hills Estate, which was previously zoned for agricultural cultivation and used for growing sugar cane. The plan aimed to restore the land for residential development.
The re-zoning of the land was subject to conditions of approval contained within the Record of Decision dated 29th May 2002 from the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs. Homeowners and sectional title owners are legally bound to comply with these conditions.
The land resource is categorized as Category No 1 - “High Sensitivity” due to its relationship to the shoreline, poor residuary sandy soils, hilly rear dune topography, and sub-tropical climatic conditions.
Top soil conservation involves maintaining the top layer of organic surface soil (10-30cm) which sustains plant growth. The addition of good quality organic composts, dolomitic lime, and selected fertilizers is essential for horticultural re-establishment. Top-dressing lawns and mulching bedding sections are also important.
Establishing boundary pegs and lines helps homeowners determine where their 1.5 - 2.0 meter perimeter planting should commence, ensuring proper planting within their property boundaries.
Benefits include wind break, increased privacy, dust and noise reduction, shade and shelter, soak-away zones, and enhanced real estate value. Perimeter planting helps stabilize the soil and anchor deeper sub-soils.
Homeowners or their landscapers must adhere to the estate’s endemic indigenous flora lists. Indigenous plants require minimal maintenance and watering, and they support the environmental food chain, encouraging wildlife to return.
Holes should be at least twice the size of the plant’s root system and square in shape. Add two-thirds compost to one-third soil, plus bone meal and 2:3:2 fertilizer. Water well with at least 20 liters of water and continue watering for the next few weeks.
Keep lawn grass and other ground cover away from newly planted trees to reduce competition for water and soil resources. Prune lower branches to allow light in.
Maintain indigenous ground cover to prevent erosion. Ensure platform edges are slightly sloped upwards to prevent storm water from cascading down and causing erosion. Check for blocked drains, gutters, and down pipes regularly.
Allowed grasses include Buffalo Grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum), Berea (Dactyloctenium australe), Royal Blue Lawn Grass, and Royal Emerald Lawn Grass. Common Cynodon and Kikuyu are considered invasive and not allowed.
Exotic plants are not allowed to exceed 5% of the private garden surface area and must not be incorporated within the 2-3 meter perimeter planting zone.
Homeowners should immediately report any identified alien and invasive plants and weeds to the estate manager for eradication.
Homeowners and tenants must not damage, deface, or destroy common area trees and plants. Violations result in a minimum fine of R1000.00, plus costs for re-establishing the plant life.
Small picket fencing painted green is required to contain dogs within the property. Only small and medium-sized dogs are allowed, and they must be on leashes when walked. Dog faeces must be picked up and taken home.
These require submission and approval by the Home Owners Architectural Review Committee and may also require municipal planning permission.
Common area water taps are only for use by the Home Owners Association workers. Leaks should be reported to the estate manager.
Garden lights should be waist-height pillar type that reflects light outwards and downwards to prevent disturbing residents in homes above.
Homeowners should contact the estate manager during office hours for assistance.
