Dear Melville Community,

The City of Johannesburg have recently put out a public tender for the occupation and use of the tennis courts at the bottom of 9th Street. The MRA is not formally submitting a tender, but will provide support to any individual or group within the Melville community that would like to submit a proposal.

It is important that we get one (or several) proposals from the Melville community so that it remains a community resource. If there are no proposals from Melville residents, the City may grant the use and occupation rights to someone who decides to restrict access. 

Deadline is 15 March, but there is an information session on Friday 22 February in Braamfontein. If anyone can attend on behalf of Melville residents that  would be greatly appreciated

If you are interested, please email alexwafer@gmail.com, who is a volunteer with the MRA.
