The SFPO Association is the ‘ratepayers association’ for St Francis Bay. At the same time, the SFPO NPC is a non-profit company set up to administer the Special Rating Area (SRA). Membership for the SFPO Association is voluntary. It is a good thing, though, because a strong ratepayers association helps monitor and influence
service delivery from the Municipality. Regarding the NPC, If you own a property in the demarcated SRA area, you pay the SRA levy as part of your municipal invoice from the Kouga Local Municipality. Therefore, you are, by rights, a member of the NPC. The SRA levy is used to fund three key projects: - CCTV Cameras - Roads - Long Term Beach Restoration Project 61
