The Bungalow Owner's Association (BOA)

Is formed by representatives from Clifton, Glen Beach & Bakoven bungalow areas and is a community based organisation recognised by the City of Cape Town and Heritage Western Cape.
This allows us to have a representative at meetings with other community based organisations (CBOs) which are included in WARD 54 and share some of the same interests.
