Rosebank is outdoors and pedestrian friendly – Due to its compact size, visitors, residents and employees are able to walk the area, enjoying the outdoor atmosphere, en route to their destination.

Growing

Rosebank's infrastructure projects and property developments augur well for the future of the node. Areas located directly around future Gautrain Stations are attracting great interest.

Services

Security

The Rosebank Management District (RMD) and the Lower Rosebank Management District(LRMD) are bordered by Oxford, Bolton, Jellicoe and Jan Smuts Avenue.

The RMD/LRMD subcontracts to provide a fully equipped and uniformed security force. The squad comprises 32 patrol officers and two controllers. Coordination is done from a control room situated in 50 Bath Avenue, which is in radio and telephone contact with the security force officers and the police. They also play a vital role as district ambassadors and since the establishment of the district have assisted the public with over thousands of enquiries related to shops, hotels, public facilities, transport, banks and tourist attractions.

The RMD/LRMD security committee was established to monitor and address all aspects of security in the district and it meets on a monthly basis. It investigates ways to reduce crime, analyses current trends, identifies traffic and taxi problems and follows up on by-law enforcement. Any other issues that have an impact on security are identified and measures introduced to minimise criminal activity.

Cleaning

The RMD/LRMD subcontracts to provide cleaning services supplementary to those provided by the local authorities to ensure a clean environment. The team, easily recognisable in their distinctive blue and yellow uniforms, comprises 16 cleaners and one supervisor and are responsible for:

  • Removal of litter from pavements and gutters
  • Removal of illegal posters and stickers
  • Cleaning tree wells
  • Basic street maintenance and weeding of traffic islands
  • Removal of refuse bags

Marketing

The RMD/LRMD is involved in marketing and promoting the area. A marketing committee meets regularly to discuss ways to create awareness of Rosebank.  Rosebank was rebranded at the end of 2009 with new uniforms for the security and cleaning, branded dustbins, a new look website and newsletler, and a new look for the site office. Promotional materials are the annual Rosebank Review, a self-funded directory of listings of all Rosebank businesses and services, and the Rosebank Panoramic Map. 

Other involvements

The RMD/LRMD works with the Rosebank Homeless Association. Additionally the RMD/LRMD is involved with informal trade management, as well as minibus and metered taxis. It also facilitates capital improvements and has long term projects for environmental upgrading and socio economic initiatives in the area. Visible Service Delivery meetings are convened monthly with council officials to address all outstanding maintenance items.
