About us
Epping Business Improvement District
Moving towards a clean, healthy, safe future for our community
Who we are
The Epping City Improvement District (ECID) works together with property owners, local businesses, and urban management specialists to create a thriving industrial environment in which the Epping business community can thrive. We provide our municipal top-up services through an additional property rate levied from properties within the ECID. Our interventions are designed to increase property investment, amplify job creation and encourage new investments into the ECID area. The communication between service providers and the community is coordinated by our controlled management team from the urban management company, Geocentric Urban Management.

How we operate
We provide our municipal top-up services by combining our partnership resources with a rate levied from property within the ECID. Our community interventions are designed to increase property investment, amplify job creation and encourage new consumers into the Epping Industria area.
The communication between service providers and the community is controlled by a control room, managed urban management specialists Geocentric. The control room runs 24/7 to ensure a constant line of communication between property owners and the security patrolmen and service providers.
Why is our work important?
We want to be both a solution to our current challenges and prevent potential pitfalls. To prevent urban decay, traffic congestion, pollution and crime we have considered the impact that large volumes of commuters into the ECID area have.
To achieve a comfortable feeling of safety in Epping, the community must invest morally and work with the City of Cape Town to upgrade public facilities.
The additional municipal services typically include the provision of additional public safety, cleansing services, maintenance and/or upgrading of the urban public environment and/or infrastructure and social services that address social issues in the area.
The additional rates paid by the property owners in the area means an equitable split based on municipal property valuation. The cost of the additional services allows individual property owners to benefit from a well-managed business node including a shared sense of communal pride, safety and social responsibility.
