Notices

Please note that the planned power outage for Napier Street, Blanco, scheduled for Tuesday, 16 September 2025, has been cancelled.

George Fire Rescue and Disaster Management services will carry out a Control Burn north of Denneoord Water Works today, 15 September 2025.

George Municipality apologizes for the short notice but weather conditions are ideal for this today.

Control burns serve to reduce the fuel loading (dead leaves, tree limbs, and other debris), in areas and are implemented to prevent wildfires spreading.

George Municipality was honoured to receive a Certificate of Recognition from the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) for its outstanding hands-on commitment and service in humanitarian efforts, search, rescue, and recovery operations during the “Victoria Street Building Collapse” in George, May 2024.

Present at the handover were (from left):
Riaan du Plessis (Chief Financial Officer), Godfrey Louw (Municipal Manager),
Station Commander Santa Sternsdorff (George Fire and Rescue Services), Jannie Koegelenberg
(Director: Civil Engineering Services),
Executive Mayor Jackie von Brandis,
Fire Chief and Disaster Manager Neels Barnard (George Fire and Rescue Services), and Cllr Brendon Adams (MMC: Community Safety and Mobility).

George Municipality hereby advises the public that the Old Town Hall building will be closed for fumigation on Wednesday, 17 September 2025 from 15:00.

The Civil Engineering Services offices located in this building will therefore be closed during this time.

Normal operations will resume on Thursday, 18 September 2025 at 07:45.

The Municipality apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks the public for their understanding.
