The Simon’s Town Civic Association (STCA) promotes the welfare of the community and supports the economically sustainable and environmentally sound development of greater Simon’s Town. This includes protecting rights of property owners, encouraging conservation of Simon’s Town’s heritage, taking an active interest in the work of the City Council, monitoring the efficiency of municipal administration, and providing support and information to our Ward Councillor. The STCA facilitates effective and constructive communication with local government, the Navy, and community organizations around issues of concern to Simon’s Town ratepayers. The STCA also works closely with STADCO and provides two Trustees to the Simon’s Town Trust.
With the advent of the MegaCity, Simon’s Town is very distant from the centre of power and resources. In this political environment local civic organizations become especially important. All residents and ratepayers are encouraged to join the STCA for a nominal annual membership fee. The work of the STCA is undertaken by an elected Executive Committee of volunteers and new volunteers are always welcome.

Simon’s Town Amenities Development Company (STADCO)
STADCO is a Section 21 (non-profit) company and operates under a management agreement with the City of Cape Town, which authorizes it to impose fees on usage of Jubilee Square and the Town Jetty. In return it is obliged to employ people from disadvantaged communities and to maintain the areas in good order. Residents of Simon’s Town will have noticed that the activities of STADCO have greatly improved the management and appearance of Jubilee Square.
STADCO’s activities have recently been extended to cleaning Main Road and some historic lanes, maintenance of most public gardens, and general tidying and painting of public areas in the town centre.
Membership of STADCO is open to all property owners or lessees in Simon’s Town at a once-off non-refundable payment of R25. Forms are available at the STADCO office on Jubilee Square.
