SOL PLAATJE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY

Transcription

1 introduction The Housing Development Agency ( HDA ) is a national public development agency that promotes sustainable communities by making well located and appropriately planned land and buildings available for the development of human settlements. The Agency has developed and deployed an information system which includes municipal profiles for selected municipalities. The intent of this profile is to provide guidelines and advice to Provincial Department of Human Settlements as well as municipalities on efficient utilization of land and economic government infrastructure investments in support of integrated human settlements development. about the template The template was compiled for the Housing Development Agency using a number of different data sources. The 2011 Census information from StatsSA was used extensively to represent socio-economic information. The financial profile data was extracted from the municipalities most recent financial statements. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP), Housing Development Plan (MHDP) and Spatial Development Framework of each municipality also provided inputs into the municipal profile. Where possible, each source of information is quoted as part of the specific figure, table or chart. The municipal profile is structured in the following sections: Section 1 provides background information on the municipality, including land use data; Section 2 deals with demographic information such as population growth and income; Section 3 provides an economic overview of the municipality; Section 4 investigates the financial status of the municipality; Section 5 gives headline data on the property market in the municipality; Section 6 looks at housing demand and historic delivery of RDP houses; Section 7 displays a land rent analysis; Section 8 provides a snapshot of water, sanitation and electricity delivery; Section 9 displays a cost surface analysis; Section 10 deals with budget implications of servicing the housing backlog, Section 11 analyse the performance of the planning function at municipal level. about Sol Plaatje Local Municipality Source: Municipal Demarcation Board (2013) Sol Plaatje LM is located in the Frances Baard District Municipality in the Northern Cape province.

These systems can be relatively large and complex (e.g. an agent based transport and land use modelling system) or relatively simple (such as an excel spread sheet calculating the number of social facilities to be provided as for different population scenarios). Information systems can thus be defined in this particular context as the means by which skilled municipal officials use software and information to support the process of spatial restructuring.

19 Strategic alignment Human resources Change control organisational tactics Section 11: Planning practises assessment The organisational tactics, or rather the extent to which the organisation support the Planning function can at best be described as being in its awareness phase. It is largely left up to individuals to up skill themselves or to acquire necessary information required for personal growth. More interaction with planning role-players are required for the planning function to grow the municipality. This includes access to information and networking with planners at other municipalities or other spheres of government. Organisation takes an active role in participating in steering groups/working parties and or preparing submissions on proposed legislative changes Organisation informs staff of legislative changes affecting their work Organisation monitors possible legislative changes or changes in standards that may have an impact on its operations or policies Is any skills required to ensure detail project proposals (e.g. design framework) is implemented? Project packaging and implementation? Is the planning function adequate (capacity, trainining, skills etc) to give effect to proposals from the SDF / other plans?
