<h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2></span>
<p>The City’s Public Lighting Development division deals with requests for lights on public roads or streets in Cape Town. We investigate the requests in terms of the City’s mandate to provide public lights, City policy, and lighting quality standards. </p><p>Historically, Kommetjie has generally not received residential road or streetlights due to the residents’ desire for Kommetjie to remain predominately unlit. </p><p>The department accepts that requirements change over time and that the City has to adapt where a need for change has been verified. We are proposing one of the following options for public lights in Kommetjie:</p><ul><li>
<strong>Option 1: </strong>The status quo will remain with a mostly unlit environment and only some of the major roads or streets will be lit. No ad-hoc residential lighting requests will be accepted or approved for installation going forward. </li><li>
<strong>Option 2:</strong> Residents’ ad-hoc requests for lighting will be accepted. Upon approval, the entire road or street in question will be lit. Applications for individual lights in a road or street will not be entertained.</li></ul><p>In terms of section 17 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, you can submit comments and recommendations to the municipality in respect of the proposed public lighting. </p><h4>Access the documents:</h4><ul><li><a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Forms%2c%20notices%2c%20tariffs%20and%20lists/HYS_KOMMETJIE_LIGHTING_ADVERT.pdf" target="_blank">Advert</a></li><li><a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Graphics%20and%20educational%20material/HYS_Kommetjie_Streetlighting_Pamphlet.pdf" target="_blank">Pamphlet </a></li><li><a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/City%20strategies%2c%20plans%20and%20frameworks/HYS_Kommetjie_WIRELESSRIVERSIDEROAD_Streetlighting_Plan.pdf" target="_blank">Wireless and Riverside Road Street lighting Plan </a></li><li><a href="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/City%20strategies%2c%20plans%20and%20frameworks/HYS_Kommetjie_Steetlight_Pole_Design_Plans.pdf">Street Light Pole Designs</a></li></ul>
