SDF & LUMSAll municipalities are by law required to prepare integrated development plans, which should include a Spatial DevelopmentFramework. A Spatial development Framework is a strategic and indicative in nature and is prepared at a broad scale. It is meantto guide and inform land development and management. It should contain the following components: Policy for land use and development Guidelines for land use management A capital expenditure framework showing whre the municipality intends spending its capital budget, and A strategic environmental assessment.The Nkomazi Municipality have developed its Land Use Management Scheme [LUMS], which incorporates the detailed forwardplanning component currently accommodated in the SDF, and which also prescribes procedures for the amendment of thescheme zones and maps by the public, the purpose of the will be enhanced on a detailed level.The Municipal SDF, as part of the IDPThe purpose of the Nkomazi SDF is seen to be exactly what it was intended – a broad and indicative guide that spatially reflectsthe development vision and objectives of the municipality. Because the SDF does not contain detail proposals but broaderobjectives, it will not be revised annually, but will guide IDP decision-taking over a number of years. It is expected that revisionthereof will only be necessary when there is a shift in the development vision and objectives of the Municipality.The Municipal Land Use Management SchemeThe LUMS will provide a detailed, property-bound guideline to assist investment decisions by the Municipality. It will functionthrough the development of zones that contain detail regulations with regards to compatible land uses and bulk of developmentin certain dermacated areas the scheme also incorporated policy statements with regards to certain developments such as homeoffices, Taverns and others.Due to the fact that the scheme must give effect to the Municipal SDF and the SDF undergoes a major change, the change shouldreflect through to the scheme. Such an amendment is affected by the Municipality through the application procedures prescribedby the scheme it self.Briefly, the scheme has the following purpose: It gives effect to the municipal SDF by translating the SDF on a detail level to assist decision taking and theinterpretation of the SDF, It develops and guides the implementation of large-scale public sector projects and investments, It regulates the form and nature of development in a locality, It allocates and reserves land for municipal, public and social purposes, It promotes environmental conservationprotectionSpatial Development FrameworkThe Nkomazi Local Municipality’s SDF is a spatial representation of the municipality’s general development objectives. Itprovides the basic guidelines that promote the application of development principles for spatial development and planning thatencourages sustainability, integration, equality, efficiency and fair and good governance.The Nkomazi Local Municipality’s SDF does not discard existing land rights but intends to guide future land uses. The proposalsin this SDF do not grant any land use right and does not exempt anyone from his or her obligation in terms of any other act thatcontrols or regulates the use of land.This Spatial Development Framework for Nkomazi should not be seen as the definitive guide to development in the area, butrather as a document that guides decision-making, growth and development. The merits of all development proposals shouldstill be considered and the need and desirability for any specific development has to be proven by the developer.NKLM Integrated Development Plan 2012_2013 122
