  2. Fishing Licences. The issuing of fishing licences at the Cannon Rocks Caravan Park is not possible due to the non-availability of receipt books supplied by the Post Office.
  3. Street Numbers. Except for 27 ervens, the erf numbers of all 728 ervens in Cannon Rocks are captured on Google Maps and thereby replacing the addresses that reflects the erf number as the street address  To eliminate confusion, residents as well as property owners are urged to replace existing erf numbers with the street address available on the municipal account.  Display of both the erf and the street address also creates confusion.  Please use the street address for delivering purposes.
