George Municipality, George, The City of Opportunities
The second largest municipality in the
Western Cape, is the primary service centre for the Garden Route, and the largest intermediary city in the province. George Municipality serves 294 929 people from 85 931 households (Statistics SA 2023) across 28 wards including Uniondale and Wilderness – with service hinterlands geographically separate
d from the main city area. This district is informally known as the Garden Route, with George, its hub, nestled among the slopes of the majestic Outeniqua Mountains and flanked by the Indian Ocean. Because of the proximity to the ocean, the area enjoys a pleasant, temperate climate. The main contributors to the economy of George are finance, insurance and real estate, and business services. Manufacturing, construction, transport and related services are also strong contributors to the local economy. The area, however, has a well-diversified economy. George Municipality uses this platform to communicate and inform its residents of important and upcoming events, service delivery matters and such Council decisions and other information which it deems to be in the interest of the Municipality’s customers and relevant stakeholders.
