13.2.2 Project Prioritisation
The team participating in prioritisation of the consolidated list of projects
included all relevant departments in the Municipality, and the Department’s
of Transport, all of whom were represented on the Working Group for the
preparation of the ITP. Consequently, representatives were familiar with
the different transport components of the ITP having attended various
presentations of the sectoral plans.
The identification and prioritisation of the projects was considered in terms
of the development imperatives of the IDP.
The process also recognised the advent of the 2010 Soccer World Cup and
the need to ensure transport solutions are in place for that event.
In the event of Municipal budget funding shortfalls, some of the prioritised
projects shown in the ITP may need to be delayed for the following year(s).
13.3 Five Year Implementation Programme
The five year programme for transport capital projects is shown in
Table 13.1. Required expenditure for each project is shown on an annual
basis. Current expenditure (2004/05) is also shown.
At the same time it should be recognised that
delaying capital expenditure on needed
projects can place undue pressure on other
related infrastructure with an associated
increase in maintenance costs.
Whilst not specified in the ITP it needs to be
recognised that capital expenditure has the
related need for an increase in the operating
budget; the nature and extent of the operating
budget depending on the type of capital projects
in the programme (eg. new ‘booze buses’ in the
Safety Programme also require manpower and
other resources).
