2 Who are we?

4 Accessibility by Road National, Regional and District Road Transportation Newcastle has local, district, regional and national road transportation linkages via the N11 Road which traverses the city linking it south wards down to Durban and northwards up to Gauteng Province and beyond. The R34 provides crucial links eastwards within KwaZulu Natal and westwards towards the Free State and Gauteng Province Road network in neighboring provinces is poor National connectivity 300 km from Johannesburg (via R34 Road-N3 freeway) 480 km from Bloemfontein (via N11 Road N5 Road)

9 Demographic Profile

10 Demographic profile cont d Newcastle has a dominant population in Amajuba District and over neighbouring provincial towns in the Free State and Mpumalanga The rate of urbanisation from smaller towns in the hinterland remains high as economic hardships persist Population growth declined from 2.93 to 0.87 % between 2001 and 2011 High mortality rate due to HIV-AIDS is a huge threat to population growth and development Multi-sectoral interventions required to slow down the rate of increase in HIV infections. Besides health services, Town Planning designates spaces for health and learning facilities There is pressure to deliver services for residents and inevitably migrant residents from neighbouring towns Newcastle has the population threshold for development to take place

11 Population growth

12 Age Structure versus Dependency Ratio Dependency Recall: In economics and geography the dependency ratio is an age-population ratio of those typically not in the labour force (0-14 and 65 and above : the dependent part) and those typically in the labour force (15 64 : the productive part).

13 Population cont d

14 Population cont d The current dependency ratio for Newcastle is 58%. That means for every 10 working adults, there are 5.8 people that need to be supported, be it through social security or childcare or healthcare. A high dependency ratio for Newcastle causes problems for the town. As the largest proportion of a government's expenditure is on health, social security & education which are mostly used by old and young population. Also the increasing expenditure on pension is a problem as well. A high unemployment rate (37%) complicates the dependency ratio in that many of those of 'working age' are actually not working.

15 What do we offer? Newcastle commands a strategic location in Northern Kwa-Zulu Natal It is located at the intersection of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Free State and Mpumalanga provinces Newcastle is a regional hub It is located reasonably far away from the Durban metro and Gauteng metros hence an opportunity for further development The city is the 3rd largest town in KZN and has the population threshold ( ) to support development It has good road network connectivity via the N11 Road and R34 with good linkages with the main economic hubs in KZN and Gauteng The Durban Johannesburg railway line traverses the city

16 What do we offer cont d The city offers higher order commercial services Although currently depressed, the industrial infrastructure for clothing manufacturing exists Land is abundant although farms in the fringes present land availability challenges for development Coal resources are abundant The city has planned housing projects for decent living conditions in sustainable settlements The city is striving to develop and maintain service infrastructure Strategic city planning is dynamic, pro-development and less prohibitive The city has qualified professionals to facilitate and manage growth and development Electricity infrastructure is good

17 Newcastle Alliance Newcastles of the World Japan ; Germany; UK; Switzerland; Canada; Australia; USA; Austria South Africa Chinese Investments Alliances with Chinese Cities Zibo and Nanchang

18 What are the key developmental challenges that prevent us from achieving intermediary status? Bulk Water Services Bulk Water Infrastructure Water sources inadequate Water purification plant needs upgrade Waste water treatment plant need upgrade Ageing Infrastructure

19 Developmental challenges Cont d Funding High urbanisation Undiversified economic base High mortality and long term unsustainable development Poor road infrastructure in neighbouring provinces poor condition of the R34 and N11 Road Underdeveloped airport for air transportation linkages Inadequate threshold to support air transportation Lack of higher order community facilities eg education facilities. The contradiction of long distances to metros, lack of higher order facilities and continuing dependency on distant metros The unstable economic environment/economic depression Internal Capacity problems

20 Public participation in planning and budgeting : key challenges Lack of understanding of budget process Need for improved communication strategy Community needs exceed available resources

21 Financial planning and viability: Some key challenges Financial models used to fund projects and Funding sources Internal funds and resources External Loans Grants - (Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG); - Department of Energy, - National Treasury (Neighbourhood Development Programme) - COGTA - Corridor funding - Department of Water Affairs - Etc

22 Financial matters cont d Sources of income - Property Rates - Electricity Revenue Investment - Water and Sanitation charges - Interest on Investments - Rental of facilities and equipment - Fines - Grants eg. Equitable share - Investments in banks Challenges - 25% Grant dependent - Inefficient debt collection - High rates of indigency (24 000) due to high rates of poverty and unemployment - Inadequate funding from national purse

23 Key Institutional Challenges Capacity problems difficulty attracting skilled personnel Organisational Structure 65% filled Inertia of past political instability

24 Strategic Governance Challenges Organisational Structure Organisational structure in place and only 65% of positions are filled Capacity problems due to inadequate skills

25 Municipal Vision

26 Status quo Current Status quo Municipality characterised by high levels of poverty and unemployment (37%) High backlogs in service delivery (housing, water and sanitation) High rate of HIV prevalence Decline in manufacturing sector Municipality strives to create an environment for investment

27 Envisaged Growth Current growth patterns and trends Challenges in dismantling apartheid spatial patterns Commercial nodes competing for across the city Choices made Facilitation of investment into the Town (malls, mining, residential ) Efforts to attract higher order education facilities Urban Restructuring and nodal/corridor development JBC Urban Node Restructuring zones for residential integration (Siyahlalala developing in formerly exclusive area) Developing alternative road linkages with townships Township regeneration
