ompliments of the season. Here is wishing everyone a prosperous 2024.
uch hype has been created regarding Padel and we can finally boast how this will further add to the lifestyle of our residents and members.
2024 promises to be another fantastic year. A big year at Woodhill, in what will be our 25th year since establishment.
Although delayed due to numerous reasons, we are confident this will be extremely successful.
From those initial beginnings and the risks taken to develop the golf course and estate, in what was at the time an extremely remote part of Pretoria East. For those that ventured out to either speculate on the future or to purchase a sure thing, those journeys to the East may have included “padkos” and picnic hampers.
As always at this time of year, the team are hard at work compiling new budgets and ensuring our plans for the year are executed. Further facility enhancements for previously neglected areas are planned. We will communicate all this in the near future. Challenges remain regarding controlling our expenses in a high inflation environment. We are exploring numerous options for efficiencies in areas we can control.
Here we are so many years later, the Estate fully developed, the original residents now mostly retired and their little children all grown up. It is a wonderful advert of how this harmonious community evolves and every day/week/month/year continues this journey.
The approved entrance upgrades regarding access control will soon be implemented which will further improve how we manage access. Many residents asked for a touchless system. This is the base we used to enhance our existing system and ensure we stay ahead when it comes to security and access control.
The new year has brought with it more rain. We welcome this despite the minimal damage we experience to our trees and plants. The golf course is once again proudly pristine and something we continue to be proud of.
As always there is a great deal going on behind the scenes, this includes continued engagements with City of Tshwane to improve our service delivery and infrastructure. We will continue to communicate advances as and when they occur.
Financially the estate is in great health. Solid performances across our commercial enterprises, being Food & Beverage, Golf, Functions etc. continue to set the benchmark against previous year’s performances.
Stay safe and let us all work together to continue our drive from “Good to Great” and to achieve our mission for being _____
These services all contribute to what has become an awesome lifestyle experience and will enable us to continue to grow and remain the Estate of Choice. 1
The Estate of Choice!
