Municipality City of Cape Town

Dunoon, a township near Killarney Gardens in Cape Town, began development in 1996 when the first erf was surveyed. Initially known as Site 5, Dunoon saw some formal housing construction, but it quickly grew into an informal settlement due to a large influx of people seeking better economic opportunities in Cape Town. Many new residents arrived from rural areas and other parts of South Africa, causing the township to expand rapidly.

Although it initially consisted mainly of informal housing, efforts by the government and non-governmental organizations have aimed to improve living conditions by constructing more formal houses and providing essential services.

The postcode for Dunoon is 7441 (streets) and 7438 (boxes)
