Melville Security Initiative

18/10/2026

Thank you, Melville! 🙏

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at Saturday’s Safe Streets Community Update Meeting. It was wonderful to see so many neighbours come together to talk about the project.

Notes and documentation from the meeting will be shared online in the coming weeks, so watch this space.

Walkthrough bookings with Danny and the Ops Team are open to any entry/exit point, even ones that have already had a visit. But these ones haven’t had any session yet, so they’re our priority right now:

📍 Main Road & 2nd Avenue
📍 Main Road & 5th Avenue
📍 Main Road & 8th Avenue
📍 Main Road & 11th Avenue
📍 Main Road & Auckland Avenue
📍 3rd Avenue & 10th Street
📍 Landau Terrace

If you’re near one of these, your input helps shape exactly where structures go, so it’s worth a few minutes of your time. Scheduling is open now through 20 December.

Dear Community,

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the workshop in April.

Here's a quick update on where the Safe Streets initiative stands.

Our working groups on Security Planning, Financial Modeling, and Aesthetics are meeting regularly to work through the practical details of rolling this out.

On the approvals side, we're still waiting to hear back from the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) on the objections that were raised. We'll keep this process transparent and share updates as soon as we have them.

In the meantime, keep an eye on our website for the latest news, an upcoming FAQ, and the full presentation from the last session: https://safestreets.ilovemelville.co.za

Thank you for your patience and for staying involved. It makes a real difference.

Best regards,
The Safe Streets Team ([email protected])

The MSI is currently in possession of the Identity cards and drivers that was found on 1st ave.
If you know the people please tag them so we can arrange to have them handed back over.
