The Envirofund was introduced in 2007 to enable the LRA Estate Team to maintain and also improve our environment.  The LRA receives no funding from City Council and has to rely on donations from local residents to enable them to cut more than 440 000m² of grass, trim trees, maintain the parks, koppie and dams, pick up litter and generally keep our suburb neat and tidy.  This is a never-ending job.

The LRA employs an estate manager and a committed team of 10 gardeners who are passionate about our environment.  The LRA has its own App which can be downloaded for free on either Google Play or your App Store.  Service delivery queries and faults can be reported directly to the relevant authorities via the App.

Recreational Parks (Lonehill Park)
Two solar lights beaming down on freshly mowed lawns and paved walkways improving night-time park security patrols.  The menacing Kariba weed is continually removed, along with milfoil and algae to prevent complete cover of water surface. A water meter has been installed to monitor water quality in the Lonehill Dam.  Enjoy your walk through the park with two of the most utilised pathways in the park got paved late 2017.

Major Sidewalks and Verges
After no less than 600 man-days, we are proud to report 10 new flowerbeds spread between Lonehill Boulevard and Crestwood Drive, Main Road and Capricorn Drive and at the same time, a very welcome paved walkway from Main Road to Concourse Crescent was installed.  Full bin bags were tied up and replaced litter scattered litter picked up throughout the suburb– in total using 500 bags per month in an effort to keep Lonehill and Beverly in tip-top shape for all to enjoy.

Enclosed Koppie
Pack yourselves a picnic and take advantage of our newly sanded, painted and treated benches while admiring the surroundings of an all-round much, much cleaner Koppie as well as some new wildlife visitors attracted by an improved ecosystem.

Jukskei River Front
The planting of indigenous trees has created shade for recreational use, as well as food and shelter for biodiversity.  Much of the bush has been cut back and cleared along private property boundaries for better security and to reduce the risk of fire.

Stormwater and other Servitudes
We have identified an abundant animal population that includes porcupines, a dwarf mongoose, a likkewaan and sparrows.

It will be one of our goals to acknowledge and promote significant stormwater servitudes that serve biodiversity corridors as conservation/biodiversity zones especially for the survival of wildlife and enjoyment those who enjoy a more rustic time out in nature filled with bird calls and grasses rustling in the wind.
