Welcome to Glenferness, a tranquil suburb of large, primarily equine related stands, bordering the banks of the Jukskei River. With a perimeter of 6.5 kilometres, Glenferness offers its community the unique opportunity to live a quiet, country lifestyle, while close access to major highways means that shopping and business hotspots are easy to get to.

A thriving community is one that empowers residents to participate together in the activities and well-being of their suburb. The Glenferness Residents’ Association embraces this philosophy, encouraging community engagement which is respectful of different opinions, but also presents a cohesive and united front when it comes to safeguarding our security and lifestyle.

The Glenferness Residents’ Association is spearheaded by an active, elected committee that is mandated to represent and safeguard its members’ interests in line with its community-led constitution.

In addition to the office-bearers that manage essential obligations such as finance, legal and liaison functions, the committee has set up dedicated portfolios to deal with key areas of community interest.

These include:

Security: Keeping our community safe and secure is a priority for the Residents’ Association. In this portfolio, committee members address matters such as armed response, CCTV, CPF, infrastructure, etc

Community and Communication: Engagement is essential to a community that looks after each other. In this portfolio, committee members work on community-building with initiatives like pothole projects and tree planting where the community comes together for a cause close to their hearts, caring about the well-being of our security guards and also donating to worthy causes. 

Communication is the key to a successful relationship and the same is true within our community. This portfolio keeps us all up to date and engaged via their Notice boards, their Whatsapp groups, Annual General Meetings and regular email communication on matters of importance to the community

Environment and Beautification: Nurturing and protecting our environment is essential for protecting the beauty of our suburb and ensures a sustainable future. This portfolio works on endeavours such as river clean ups, verge clean ups etc.

The success of our suburb depends on the engagement of our community, and we welcome all newcomers.
