Carlswald

INTRODUCING CARLSWALD

Carlswald is one of Midrand’s oldest suburbs and was originally divided into stands of approximately 2 hectares (5 acres). Its proximity to the N1 and Gautrain has made it vulnerable to development and the City of Johannesburg has zoned high density development of between 20 and 50 dwelling units per hectare around the perimeter and recent changes in zoning through the Nodal Development Framework has increased this to 20 units per hectare in the core areas. This will put a great deal of strain on an already inadequate road, water, electricity and sewage infrastructure.

Carlswald is a cohesive community co-ordinated by Carlswald Residents’ Association, where residents work together to ensure their security, keep their suburb clean and monitor developments.

A residents’ association has a more powerful voice than an individual when dealing with community issues and notably with the City of Johannesburg.
