city council wards and sub-councils
A Sub-Council is made up of a cluster of municipal wards and represents a community. These are significant entities within the structure and governance of Cape Town suburbs, given the DA policy of devolving responsibility downwards to the communities in which matters are occuring of public importance. Property development is a good example of how these structures, ie the community, are included in the decision-making process.
Newlands is represented by two wards at a municipal level, namely Wards 59 and 62, both these wards fall within the Protea Sub-Council 20. The Sub-Council reports directly into the Mayoral Council.
The NRA ensures representation of Newlands residents within each of these bodies.
