estimates suggest that the population is declining. This would also
imply that there could be expected to be a decline in housing demand
over time.
Housing Backlog
The municipality reports that not a single housing project has been
completed either due to lack of subsidy funding, access to land delays,
land tenure difficulties, blocking of approved projects and/or
inadequate capacity to implement projects
Infrastructure
The state of the infrastructure in the municipality is going to delay
public and private funded housing development unless and integrated
approach is adopted, whereby the necessary infrastructure is funded
ahead of the housing delivery programme
Housing Vision
The housing vision of the municipality is to complete 10000 units by
2013.
“By 2013 we should have completed at least 10 000 urban and
rural houses meeting the quality standards and norms, with the
support of the Department and the capacity to implement a
complete programme.”
Objectives and Strategies
The housing vision (see above) will be achieved by a set of objectives
