In terms of Ordinances Nos 10 and 11 of 1921, the Local Board of Kleinmond ceased to exist in December 1947, and the Village Management Board of Kleinmond came into existence (Province of the Cape of Good Hope Official Gazette No 2327, 24 December 1947, Proclamation No 198, 22 December 1947).
Under Municipal Ordinance, 1951 (Ordinance No 19), the Village Management Board of Kleinmond was declared a municipality from 1 August 1959 (Province of the Cape of Good Hope Provincial Gazette No 2969, 1 May 1959, Proclamation No 58, 21 April 1959). In terms of the Local Government Transition Act, 1993 (Act 209 of 1993) the local government bodies within the Kleimond/Hangklip Forum Area, namely the Municipalities of Kleinmond and Hangklip was dissolved with effect from 1 January 1995 and the Hangklip/Kleinmond Transitional Local Council established (Province of Western Cape Provincial Gazette Extraordinary No 4915, 30 December 1994, Proclamation No 122, 29 December 1994). In terms of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act 117 of 1998), the existing Hangklip/Kleinmond Transitional Local Council, together with other municipalities, was disestablished, and the Overstrand Local Municipality was established (Province of Western Cape Provincial Gazette Extraordinary No 5591, 22 September 2000, Provincial Notice No 492, 22 September 2000). The Overstrand Local Municipality forms part of the larger Overberg District Municipality.
Despite numerous attempts from 1964 – 1999 for the Municipality of Kleinmond to transfer its records (and those of the Village Management Board) to the archives, only four boxes of correspondence files were moved in April 1991 (volumes 3/KMD 2/1 – 2/5). In 2017, the Overstrand Municipality transferred the records of the previous Municipality of Kleinmond.
