WORD OF WELCOME BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR
MUCH MORE THAN ONLY WHALE WATCHING
Ultimately, its unique offerings of the ultimate experience in land-based whale watching and shark cage-diving, pristine Blue Flag beaches, excellent wine industry and top-class restaurants and accommodation make the Cape Whale Coast a “must do” for tourists… and an ideal place to work and live in for all who call it home.
In the background, though, a top performer—Overstrand Municipality—labours relentlessly to ensure this treasure trove’s clockwork ticks over smoothly. Providing municipal services to an area exceeding 1708 km2 with a population well in excess of the estimated 74500 souls1 is no easy feat, as the 25-strong Council and personnel corps of around 1100 can attest to.
Nevertheless, not one to shy away from a challenge, Overstrand has set its sights firmly on being revered as a Centre of Excellence for all it serves, notably the communities of Hermanus, Gansbaai, Stanford, Kleinmond and everyone in between.
