1. Drakenstein Municipality
Bulk Infrastructure Contribution Levy
(BICL’s)

2. Background information
Pre Year 2000:
Wellington Municipality had development contributions for Water & Sewer as part of their tariffs.
Paarl Municipality negotiated with developers for upgrading of infrastructure.
Post Year 2000:
Paarl and Wellington amalgamated in late 2000 and adopted the contributions into it’s tariffs.
The new Drakenstein Municipality applied the BICL’s for subdivisions, group housing, private residential flats and any development that may place an additional burden on the system.
The services on which contributions were charged increased to: Water, Sewer, Stormwater, Roads, Electricity.
The criteria for charging the BICL’s were:
Market value of property = R (minimum fee/service).
Market value of property = R (maximum fee/service).
Pro rata levy is payable for units between R – R
Market value of the property is defined as:
Residential erven: Market value of the erf
Flats/Group housing: Market value of the unit
Year 2010 GAP Housing received 40% discount on there BICL’s payable.
Year 2011 Drakenstein Municipality appointed Vela VKE to re –evaluate our policy inline with other municipalities
