security & maintenance

We strive for the maximum safety of our community as well as the protection of their assets. IGHOA currently has a contract with ITHUBA Protection Services to supply access control and armed response 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  Access monitoring takes place from the security guardhouse on the corner of Atlantic Drive and Rameron Avenue. Night security guards patrol the estate from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am.  Both the route and the timing of the patrols are randomly varied.  While the electric fence, camera surveillance, night access monitoring, and patrols have been effective in curbing criminal incidents on our estate, they are only a “first line of defense” and determined intruders might get past them. 

• Members / Residents are therefore urged to implement their own further layers of security.
• For medical, security or other emergencies, as well as for general purposes such as efficient mail delivery, each house is required to display a clearly visible street number in LARGE legible numbers.
• Residents should apply for a vehicle card to enable the guards to identify them as residents. An application form can be found on our website.
• Members / Residents are reminded that the performance of the electric fence is markedly reduced by foliage that is allowed to grow or be wind-blown, onto the fence, and as such are earnestly requested to trim back their plants appropriately to allow at least one and a half metres’ clearance between the vegetation and any of the wires of the fence.
