THE IMPORTANCE OF STANDING TOGETHER

Success Story 1
With the current culture of illegal land grabs - especially over weekends - GARA obtained a court interdict so that when people illegally occupy land in Glen Austin, residents can go straight to the police and secure their help in removing people before they can put up structures.

When structures are up for 24 hours or more, it becomes a lot more difficult to have people removed. ​
