Paternoster Community Improvement District (PCID) | Business Directory

The Paternoster Community Improvement District (PCID) is a proactive, community-led initiative designed to enhance the well-being, safety, and sustainability of Paternoster through structured collaboration and targeted investment. Founded by concerned and committed property owners, the PCID seeks to address the town’s unique challenges and unlock its full potential by supplementing municipal services through the establishment of a Special Rating Area (SRA), as enabled by local legislation.

Our vision is simple but powerful: to preserve the charm and heritage of Paternoster while ensuring it stays a thriving, inclusive, and safe place for all who live, work, and visit here.

By collecting a small, transparent monthly levy based on municipal property values, the PCID will fund a range of initiatives not adequately covered by standard municipal budgets.

These will include:

Urban beautification and maintenance

Enhanced security and crime prevention

Social development and support for vulnerable communities

Environmental care and sustainability

Promotion of tourism and local economic growth

The PCID operates under a clear governance structure and with full accountability to property owners.

It is currently guided by an Interim Steering Committee made up of concerned property owners to explore the possibility of a Special Rating Area.

At its heart, the PCID is about community ownership, unity, and shared responsibility. It gives residents and property owners a stronger voice and the tools to take collective action for a better Paternoster.

Together, through the PCID, we will be shaping a future that honour our past, protects our environment, and uplifts our people.
