The various nodes and their broad intended function and possible interventions aredescribed by the table below.Table 16: The Various Nodes & Their Intended FunctionIntervention Broad Intended FunctionNodePrimary Only eThekwini is classified as a Primary Node within the Provincial Context as an urbanNode centre with very high existing economic growth and the potential for expansionthereof. Provides service to the national and provincial economy.SecondaryNodesRichards Bay, Msunduzi, Newcastle and Port Shepstone has been identified asprovincial Secondary Nodes and thus urban centres with good existing economicdevelopment and the potential for growth and services to the regional economy.TertiaryNodesQuaternaryNodesRural ServiceCentresThese nodes are mainly centres which should provide service to the sub-regionaleconomy and community needs and is represented by the following towns such asPongola,Vryheid,Ulundi,Dundee,Ladysmith,Estcourt,Howick,KwaDukuza,Ixopo,Scottburgh,Hibberdene ,Kokstad, Margate.These nodes are mainly centres which should provide service to the local economyand community needs and is represented by 31 towns, such as but not limited to: PortEdward Nongoma, Nkandla, Bergville, Greytown, Underberg, uMzimkhulu, etc.The proposed rural service centres are envisaged to serves as the lowest level ofprovincial nodes and could typically be established around existing traditionaladministration centres as well as other accessible rural points identified as periodicmarkets. These will be identified in consultation with the district municipalities andshould serve as first access to basic services within rural areas. These rural servicecentres will include, as some have already emerged to include, a combination of thefollowing activities: Traditional administration centre, Taxi/ bus stop, Informal trading / market area, Social facility (clinic, library etc.), Skills development centre (mainly local schools), Mobile services point (mobile clinics, pension pay points, mobile library etc.) Small commercial facility Recreational facility such as a sport field.A conceptual model of these rural service centres will guide the formulation of aprovincial implementation strategy towards the implementation of the proposed RuralService Centres.The Broad Provincial Spatial <strong>Planning</strong> Categories (BPSPCs) which are indicated within theabove illustrated provincial spatial development framework should be interpreted as follows:Table 17: <strong>KZN</strong> Spatial <strong>Development</strong> Plan – Interpretation NotesSpatial <strong>Planning</strong> Broad Intended Land Use and InterventionsCategoryConservation Proposed regional critical conservation areas which are linked in a continuousCorridorssystem of ecosystems and bioregions traversing the province between theDrakensberg and the Indian Ocean. These areas were identified combiningexisting environmentally protected areas as well as conservation corridorsproposed by Ezemvelo <strong>KZN</strong> Wildlife, through combining extensive environmentalresearch into bio-resources throughout the province as part of the formulation ofa Critical Biodiversity Plan for the province. These Conservation Corridors are notsuggested as absolute “no-go” areas, but rather highlighted as areas ofenvironmental significance to the sustainable development of the entireprovince. Where economic opportunity (such as tourism development) and highsocial need exist within these Conservation Corridors, it implies both that the richnatural environment should contribute to the address such needs and potential,and further that any interventions in these areas need to consider the impact onsuch important regional ecological corridors. These corridors are however__________________________________________________________________________________________<strong>Maphumulo</strong> Integrated <strong>Development</strong> Plan (<strong>IDP</strong>) 2012 - 2013Final June 2012Page 75 of 142
Biodiversity PriorityAreasAreasEconomicAddingofValueAreasofEconomic SupportAreasAgricultural<strong>Development</strong>ofAreas of HighSocial NeedUndifferentiatedAreasperceived as areas where extensive densification would be discouraged andsensitive development promoted.Areas with a significantly high biodiversity value expressed in the number ofspecies and sensitive environments as identified through extensive research byEzemvelo <strong>KZN</strong> Wildlife. These areas are most often located in close proximity tothe identified Conservation Corridors and may serve as an additional buffer tothese corridors. These areas too are not (at a provincial level) proposed asabsolute “no-go” areas, but are identified to indicate areas where extensivedensification would be discouraged and sensitive development promoted.The key economic centres and areas where all of the varieties of economicsectors (Agriculture, Tourism, Manufacturing, and Services) are prevalent andperceived to have good potential to be further expanded on. These areas arevisibly linked to high accessibility areas with existing bulk infrastructure andrelatively high population densities which would both contribute to the economicexpansion and benefit from interventions in these areas. Due to these factors,further economic processing and value adding at a provincial level, are mainlyproposed within these identified areas.A number of regions resembled areas of good economic potential in more thanjust one of the key provincial economic sectors. Due to the fact that these areasrepresent a larger distribution across the entire province than the core areas ofeconomic value adding, these zones are considered important areas ofEconomic Support. Typical interventions in these areas would include economicprioritisation of development, labour force interventions (e.g. skills development),key economic infrastructure investment and area promotion.Relatively high agricultural production areas, which are not located withinbiodiversity areas of combined with other potential economic sectors, arehighlighted by this category to identify and promote areas with the potential tomake a significant contribution through agricultural production. Althoughsuccessful farming practices are already occurring on some of these areas, it isproposed that underutilised agricultural land within these zones are moreeffectively utilised for sustainable agricultural production. Associatedinterventions may include agriculture specific infrastructure, skills development,market access interventions etc.The highest ranges of combined social need when considering the populationdensity, dependency ratio as the provincial index of multiple deprivations isillustrated by this category of high social need. These area broadly the areaswhere the most intensive social interventions area required and this category isfurther over layed above all other categories to provide a spatial reference tothe types of interventions which might be pursued towards addressing theconcentrated social need within these areas. As example where high socialneed is identified within an area earmarked as a conservation corridor, this firstlyprovides a reference to the fact that social conditions of communities will needto be addressed if any conservation is to be promoted within such areas. Furtherit suggests that the effective utilisation of the high biodiversity within such areasmight be harnessed towards addressing social need through exampleconservation tourism.The areas which are not representative of any of the above mentionedcategories are classified as undifferentiated areas. It is acknowledged that theseareas also have communities residing on them with economic potential andenvironmental resources, however, based on the approach followed these areasweren’t differentiated to the same degree as the identified precedingcategories. It is therefore important that this category is not neglected frompublic and private interventions and as the various departmental programmesare inclusive in nature, these areas should also benefit from it. It is anticipatedthat the intensity of such programmes and the total portion of resourceallocation to these areas would be less than the identified categories as well asthe key intervention areas identified previously.__________________________________________________________________________________________<strong>Maphumulo</strong> Integrated <strong>Development</strong> Plan (<strong>IDP</strong>) 2012 - 2013Final June 2012Page 76 of 142
