Keeping our neighbourhood residential
Traffic Calming: street closures
​​​
MLPORA is committed to safeguard the residents of the community. As a residential safety objective, we have identified a number of streets to be closed to serve dual purposes. The major motivation would be to introduce “traffic calming” to prevent people from using our suburb as a racetrack to bypass traffic, so our residents can exercise in a safe environment and as a by-product to this, we remove convenient escape routes for criminals to flee. The rationale is that this will discourage criminality in the area.
Heritage
​​​
Muckleneuk / Lukasrand has a rich heritage. When buying a house in the area, you buy a story.
Find out more about the rich history of the neighbourhood, but also how to go about finding out about your heritage house.
Town Planning
​​​
We have to remain vigilant that we do not succumb to the pressure of development by allowing our area to become a business district or uncontrolled desification. The town planning team assists residents in protecting their, arguably, most valuable asset by ensuring that Municipal by-laws are enforced and development and densification happen in alignment with the ethos of our suburb.
Accommodation
​​​
We have several airbnb, guesthouses and private flats and houses to rent for short term or long term.
Green Spaces
​The Commons​
​
Muckleneuk Commons – is meant to encourage social responsibility, address environmental injustice and taking ownership of the environment. It is a collective effort of residents coming together to beautify a space that was just rubble and rubbish. Today it's a favourite gathering place for events and our community.

Kruin Park
​​​
The Friends of Kruin Park promote the connection between supporters or volunteers of the park and the Park itself, which is run by Nature Conservation. Volunteers play a crucial role in caring for this unique green space allowing our community to enjoy the indigenous trees, plants and grasses and beautiful views as they walk, picnic and bird watch.
