City Bowl Ratepayers' & Residents' Association
Working together for a better City Bowl
CIBRA is the voice of the community
City Bowl Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association (CIBRA) is a civic organisation that acts on behalf of our members in municipal matters such as those relating to property development, business licencing, public events and the use of public spaces.
We are an independent organisation, run by members on income raised through membership fees. We receive no funds from the City.

The Panel will review and provide comments to Heritage Western Cape (HWC) for City Bowl properties in Wards 77 and 115.

Quick access to official resources from the City of Cape Town, including municipal services, service requests, permits, bylaws, and key public notices.
