19CHAPTER 1: THE PLANNING PROCESS1.0 Integrated Development Planning1.1 IntroductionThis document represents the second generation Integrated Development Plan as prepared by thenewly established Port St. John‟s Municipality (hereafter the Municipality).It is submitted and prepared in fulfilment of the Municipalities legal obligation in terms of therelevant sections of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 33 of 2000).1.2 BackgroundWith the inception of a new political dispensation in 1994 the role and structure of the LocalAuthority and planning process within these municipalities started to change dramatically. TheNew Constitution (1996) further enabled this paradigm shift in the way Local Governmentfunction.The Constitution provided the primary overarching framework within which Local Governmentplanning must be contextualised. The Constitution gives Local Government a mandate to:‣ Provide democratic and accountable Government for all communities;‣ Ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner;‣ To promote social and economic development;‣ To promote a safe and health environment; and‣ To encourage the involvement of communities and community organisations in the matters of LocalGovernment.The Constitution also establishes Local Government as a sphere of Government in its own right.This means Local Government is no longer a function of National or Provincial Government, butan integral part of the democratic state. Although Local Government is a distinct sphere, it isdependent on, and related to the Provincial and National spheres.Flowing from the white paper on Local Government three important pieces of legislation havebeen promulgated:‣ Local Government: Municipal System Act‣ Local Government: Municipal Structures Act‣ Municipal Demarcation ActThis new legislative framework forms the cornerstone of the envisaged Local GovernmentSystem. Fundamental to the new role of Local Government, i.e. Developmental LocalGovernment is Integrated Development Planning.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 1: The Planning Process

The Integrated Development Planning Process puts in place a new system of planning and deliverin line with a shed vision of reconstruction and development.A system which requires Local authorities, inter alia focus on:‣ Transformation‣ Strategy and Strategic Planning‣ Democratising the Planning Process‣ Integration‣ Sustainability‣ Quality of Life‣ Co-operative Governance‣ Prioritisation‣ Flexibility201.3 Purpose of Integrated Development PlanningThe purpose of Integrated Development Planning is faster and more appropriate delivery ofservices and providing a framework for economic and social development in a municipality. Arange of links exist between Integrated Development Planning and it‟s developmental outcomes,which have great relevance, in particular in a context of financial crisis of municipalities, urgencyof service delivery, and employment generation. Integrated Development Planning can contributetowards eradicating the development legacy of the past, making the notion of developmentalLocal Government work and fostering co-operative governance.The Department of Provincial and Local Governance IDP Guidelines summarised the purpose ofthe Integrated Development Planning Process as follows:‣ Eradicating the development legacy of the pastA mechanism to restructure our cities, towns and rural areas;A mechanism to promote social equality;A weapon in the fight against poverty andA catalyst in the creation of wealth.‣ Making the notion of developmental Local Government workA devised to improve the quality of people‟s life‟s trough the formulation of integrated and sustainableprojects and programmesLay the foundation for community buildingA strategic framework that facilitates improve municipal governanceAn agent of Local Government transformationA channel for attracting investmentAn instrument to insure more effective and efficient resource allocation and utilisationPort St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 1: The Planning Process

21A vehicle to fast-track deliveryA barometer for political accountability and a yardstick for municipal performance‣ Fostering co-operative governanceA mechanism for alignment and co-ordination between spheres of GovernmentA mechanism for alignment and co-ordination within spheres of Government2.0 Methodology2.1 IntroductionSince 1998, Local authorities embarked on a comprehensive planning exercise to prepareintegrated development plans for the areas of jurisdiction, these being the former TLC‟s andDistrict Councils. These IDP‟s (Including land development objectives as required in terms ofthe Development Facilitation Act) are seen as “First Round IDP’s” prepared in terms of the LocalGovernment Transition (Second Amendment Act). The process proceeded the 5 December 2000Local Government Elections.Forming part of new Local Government Legislation, the Municipal Systems Act, Chapter 5,require all new demarcated wall-to-wall municipalities to prepare “Second Generation IDP”.This process commenced in June 2001.The logical approach to the new generation IDP‟s are guided by a number of directives and legalguidelines:‣ Local Government: Municipal System Act, 2000 (Act 33 of 2000)The most significant informant of the IDP process and its outcomes is the MunicipalSystems Act, with specific reference to Chapter 4 and 5 of the Act. Section 26 of Actoutlines the core components of the IDP.‣ Municipal Systems Act RegulationsThe Minister for Provincial and Local Government published regulations in terms of theSystem Act provide more detail on certain issues regarding the content of the IDP.‣ IDP GuidepackThe IDP guidepacks released by the Department of Provincial and Local Governmentprovides technical assistance and process guidance to Local Authorities for the process ofpreparing IDP‟s.2.2 ProcessThe IDP Process as followed by the Port St. John‟s Municipality is outlined in the figure below.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 1: The Planning Process

23PHASE 1: ANALYSISPurpose:To ensure that decisions will be based on:- people‟s priority needs and problems- knowledge on available and accessible resources- proper information and on profound understanding of the dynamicsinfluencing the development in a municipalityOutputs:‣ Assessment of the existing level of development‣ Priority issues/problem statements‣ Understanding of nature/dynamics/causes of these issues‣ Knowledge on available resources and potentials (including a tentativeoverall finance frame)PHASE 2: STRATEGIESPURPOSE:To ensure that there will be a broad inter-sectoral debate on the mostappropriate ways and means of tackling priority issues, under consideration ofpolicy guidelines and principles, available resources, inter-linkages, competingrequirements and an agreed vision. The strategy debate shall help avoid theusual short cut from identified need to sectoral projects. It shall help findmore appropriate, innovative and cost-effective solutions under dueconsideration of various options. It is the phase of making choices.OUTPUTS:‣ Vision (for the municipality)‣ Objectives (for each priority issue)‣ Strategic options and choice of strategy (for each issue)‣ Tentative financial framework for projects‣ Identification of projectsPHASE 3: PROJECTPURPOSE:To ensure a smooth palling/delivery link by providing an opportunity for adetailed and concrete project planning process done by project task teams ofprofessionals and relevant stakeholders who provide proposals with tentativetarget figures, technical standards, locations, time horizons and cost estimate.This phase will give the sector specialists their appropriate role in the planningprocess, thereby contributing to a smooth planning – implementation link.OUTPUTS:‣ Indicators (quantities, qualities) for objectives‣ Project outputs with targets and location‣ Major activities, timing‣ Responsible agencies/actors‣ Costs and budget estimates and sources of finance- Consideration of sectoral planning requirements- Sector plans may be elaborated during this phase; IDP will only includea summarising project overview resulting from such sector plans.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 1: The Planning Process

PHASE 4: INTEGRATIONThe degree of specification and exactness of the outcomes will vary, as someprojects may need in-depth feasibility studies which may not be manageablewithin the IDP planning period. At least tentative estimates based onpreliminary decisions on the project design (pre-feasibility level) shall beprovided.24PURPOSE:To ensure that the results of project planning will be checked for theircompliance with vision, objectives, strategies and resources and that they willbe harmonised. The harmonisation process will result in a consolidationspatial, financial and institutional framework as a sound basis for smoothimplementation.OUTPUTS: ‣ Revised project proposals (may be revised strategies)PHASE 5: APPROVAL- for priority projects- for other projects‣ 5-year financial plan (all sources of finance)‣ 5-year capital investment programme (all sources of finance)‣ 5-year municipal action plan (for municipal management)‣ Integrated spatial development framework‣ Integrated programmes for LED, environmental issues, povertyalleviation, gender equity and HIV/AIDS‣ Institutional plan for implementation management‣ consolidated monitoring/performance management system‣ Reference to sector plans‣ (Outcomes of sector plans to be fed back into the IDP process)‣ Disaster Management Plan.PURPOSE:To ensure that, before being adopted by the Municipal Council, all relevantstakeholders and interested parties, including other spheres of governmenthave been given a chance to comment on the draft plan, thus giving theapproved plan a sound basis of legitimacy, support and relevance.OUTPUT:‣ An amended and adopted Integrated Development Plan.It is noted that the process followed to prepare the IDP for Port St. John‟s represents a strategicplanning exercise to put in place a strategy for implementation for the new Council for their termof office (5 years). This strategy will enable and assist the Council to fulfil its developmental roleand obligations. The primary focus of the study is to identify primary areas of concern and/orintervention and to look at strategies, ways and means of addressing these issues priorities.Thereafter, integrated programmes are formulated for the various areas of intervention. Theseinclude plans to deal with financial and operating matters and developmental issues. The IDP forPort St. John‟s is prepared approved and implemented by Council and remains the responsibilityof Council to implement its strategies.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 1: The Planning Process

The Municipal area comprises of 13 Wards. Refer to Map 2 indicating the electoral Wards in thestudy area, i.e. Ward 1 to 13.302.1.3 Natural Features‣ ClimatePort St. John‟s is characterised by moderate, humid and subtropical coastal climate with anaverage rainfall ranging between 1100 and 1400 ml per annum occurring mostly during thesummer months (October to March).Summer temperature varies from an average maximum of about 25°C to an averageminimum of 20°C, whilst winter maximum and minimum are 21°C and 8°C respectively.Port St. John‟s enjoys fairly favourable weather conditions throughout the year.‣ TopographyThe study area is mainly characterised by mountainous terrain with hills, cliffs, beaches andsandy dunes. The slopes are as steep as 1:3 or steeper, making developments in the area veryexpensive. Flat areas are also found close to the ocean and also the rivers. These areas arehowever susceptible to flooding.‣ DrainageThree main streams are found in Port St. John‟s with the biggest being the UmzimvubuRiver. All of these streams flow from the north to the Indian Ocean in the south. Theyseparate the area into 3 portions. Ward boundaries are in some Wards determined by thesestreams. Drainage in the area is generally poor, depending on tides, storm conditions andriver levels.‣ VegetationNatural vegetation plays a vital role in the economic performance of the area as it is one ofthe main attractions for tourists. Unlike most regions in the country, much of the naturalvegetation in the Port St. John‟s has not been touched. Housing development is howeverlimited in the area resulting in informal settlements. The following vegetation types arefound in the region:Coastal Forest Thornveld – found along coastal area, covering most of Port St. John‟s Town.Coastal Bushveld Savannah – mostly found in the central part of the region.Valley thicketEastern Thorn Bushveld on the north western sideAfromontane Forest in small pockets, mostly concentrated in the central eastern side of the regionPort St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

31‣ Geological and Soils- GeologyGeological studies (detailed and/or desktop) of various urban areas in the Port St.John‟s region has been conducted to date. Although the detail of these studies are notincluded in the Integrated Development Plan, their significance are noted. Futuredevelopment must take cognisance of these studies done to dateAccording to the available Geological Map, the study area is underlain by Sedimentaryrocks of the Karroo sequence (Ecca and Beaufort group are the most important groupsoccurring). Sandstone formations of the natural group are also present.- SoilsThe region is characterised by euthopic brown with megalithic soils. These soils aresuitable for intensive cultivation.2.1.4 Land Use Patterns‣ Settlement Pattern (Regional)The Regional settlement pattern in the study area is characterised by one urban area (PortSt. John‟s) that acts as a regional service centre supplying the surrounding rural villageswith commodities and services.The centre serves as an administrative and decision making centre. The highestpopulation concentration is found in the surrounding rural villages (Refer to Map No. 2)‣ Settlement Pattern (Local)The majority of the population in Port St. John‟s Town is settled in Mtumbane locatedbetween the central area and second beach. Natural vegetation plays a very big role in thedevelopment of the land (topographical features) and urban areas. Informal settlementsalso occur on the periphery of the formally settled areas.Rural villages occupy the bigger portion of land in the region.

32‣ Settlement DensityNatural features determine settlement densities in Port St. John‟s. Owing to this, mixeddensities are found throughout the area. In some areas which are developable, densitiesare very high. These areas have the following characteristics:More than 20 residential units per hectares (Average)Residential site sizes of less than 400m² (normally 300m²)These are found in low income areas, informal settlements and other unplanned settlementsSpecific reference is made to Mtumbane and the informal settlementsDue to the rural character, topography and natural vegetation in the area, high-density residential areas arenot prevalent. Low-density residential settlements are found, i.e. Rural Villages, Port St. John‟s town,Second beach. Residential sites are in access of 400m². In rural villages, they even go as much as 1500m²2.1.5 ResidentialThe residential component occupies 0,28% of the land within Port St. John‟s Municipality. Mostresidential developments are found in the rural areas (villages). Topography and other naturalfeatures are the major limitation in the development of residential areas.2.2 Socio-Economic AnalysisSocio-economic data for the Port St. John‟s region is derived from the 1996 Census figures andthe demarcation board. A single source of data (Census 1996) is used for the study area to ensureconsistency and a uniform base of comparison. It should be noted that large discrepancies existbetween the latest central statistical services (Census 1996) data and other sources of statisticsavailable. The data reflected in this report should be updated with 2001 Census data whenavailable.2.2.1 PopulationTable 2 depicts the population in each individual ward.Table 2: Population in each WardWard 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13Population 7,1 6,9 4,1 9,2 9,1 8,3 7,3 10,3 6,1 5,1 4,5 11,3 10,5The urban area (Ward 3) has got the lowest population (4,1). The biggest population is found inWard 12.According to Pimss. Idea, 2001, Port St. John‟s comprises of 141 356 people.

These resources must however be protectedfrom any harm.Port St. John‟s forms part of the natural sensitive areas in the country. Natural vegetation, slopes,rivers (Umzimvubu), beach fronts are the most important elements determining tourismdevelopment in the area. There is a need to protect these, not only by policies but also physically.The following environmental issues have been identified:Inappropriately sited buildings: building located in primary dunes, i.e the Health centre and areassurrounding the golf course.Encroachment into the indigenous forest for urban development: Informal settlementLack of control or management over wood collection from the forestWater pollution: Inadequate sanitationLittle control over Marine resourcesCBD areas subject to floodingSoil erosion along the Umzimvubu RiverUndercutting, slumping and landslides occurring along portions of R61 and the road between Secondbeach and MtumbaneLack of pedestrian bridges resulting in people not able to cross the river during heavy rainfall.Uncontrolled excessive grazing in rural areasLack of environmental knowledge and awarenessPort St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

The Pondoland Bridge forms part of this works at an additional cost ofR0,8 mil.Trunk Road 61 enters the Municipal area of Port St John‟s at the village of Dangwana-A in the westsupplies access to the CBD area. The District Road 08004 starts of at the intersection with TrunkRoad 61 north of Port St John‟s at the Umzimvubu River, from where the District Road 08004generally leads in a north easterly direction towards Lusikisiki and excess the Port St John‟s areaapproximately 37km north of the town center. This roads leads through or border wards 13 on thewest, 7, 4, 9, 2, 8, 1, 10, to 3 on the east.The remaining roads, being District, Access, or other non-classified roads are all gravel and in a fairto-poorcondition. In general access to villages are obtained of an Access Road, in turn linked to aDistrict Road network within each ward, and in turn linked to either one of the above mentionedsurfaced main roads.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

42Ward 3:The only other tarred roads include the access road which extends from the town entrance (end ofTR61) through town to Second Beach and sections of both main streets in town, being Westgate,Bridge, and north Street. The remaining roads in this ward are gravel and in a moderate condition.Two access roads to the military base exist. The one to the south of Port St John‟s, near SecondBeach, is a gravel road, while the other from the town center and that traverses Mount Thesiger, is anarrow concrete surfaced road. Both roads have steep gradients. The gravel road is currently beingrehabilitated as it was in poor condition. The concrete road are currently in good condition, but showsigns of longitudinal cracking indicating possible side slip and should be looked at in the near future.The concrete road via Bulolo Dam and Caguba to the Ndwalani intersection is the alternate route toPort St John‟s. These roads should be regularly, maintained in order for it to be utilized duringemergencies. The internal road network comprises of both bituminous surfaced (Bridge, Westgate,and North Street) and gravel roads, which are in very poor condition and easy access to all existingfacilities is available. The mentioned surfaced roads are in need of full reconstruction as frequentremedial work thus far has proven to be unsuccessful.The main farm roads, approximately 28km, became the responsibility of the Local Authority in1976, generally depressed relative to the surrounding/adjacent lands and that‟s got inadequatedrainage is a burden which has proved onerous. A direct result of this is that many of these farmroads are now impassible by vehicle. Farm roads within this area in general, are in a moderatecondition and the Local Authority has only recently acquired limited resources in terms ofequipment, to maintain these roads. In terms of manpower and finance the Local Authority has alimited capacity to maintain these roads, but are however, currently underway to improve theseroads.The only access road to Agate Terrace and Poenskop (a popular fishing/recreation spot), a portion ofapproximately 12km has recently been reconstructed between ferry point and Poenskop and is in avery good condition. The remaining 6km between the District Road 08004 and ferry point is in needof re-graveling due to limited funds being available during the reconstruction of the aforementionedsection. This road is largely inaccessible to tourists and local people and as the only access road it isin urgent need of re-construction. Presently many people reach Agate Terrace by an un-seaworthyferry and drowning accidents are fairly common. The EU (European Union) has donated three newboats on 23 February 2002.A bituminous surfaced airstrip 30m wide by 1200m long, which is capable of handling aircraft of asubstantial size and is in good repair, exists. A fence is however required around this area as thesurrounding area is being grazed by cattle and the acid from their faeces deteriorates the existingsurface finish.The construction of four speed humps, bus turning curcle and car park at Second Beach have beencompleted inhouse by the Port St John‟s municipality.Funds are currently being sourced to surface all the CBD roads at a estimated cost of R3,5 mil. Thisproject was originally scheduled for 2001/2002.The town entrance upgrade project was recently completed. A further upgrade is underway to supplymore office space by extending the buildings. Construction is scheduled to take 8 weeks at a cost ofR92 000 excluding VAT.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

43Ward 2:Recently a proposed CMIP project was approved, being the re-habilitation of 2km gravel road (bulkaccess collectors) at Banana Point and 5km at Dedeni. Engineers have been appointed and thedesign and tender stage will commence soon. Funding approved for both projects amounts to R1349 306.5.2 Stormwater Drainage:General:No formal stormwater drainage systems exist within the Port St John‟s municipal area, other thandrainage provided to some local roads within town and the current canal through the CBD. Ingeneral all stormwater discharges overland on a sheet flow basis and the concentration thereof isavoided. This run-off congregates in the contributory rivers and streams that lead to the various mainriver systems, eventually discharging into the sea.Ward 3:A large portion of the CBD area are below the 1:50 year floodline, therefore it is prone to flooding,as the annual rainfall equates to approximately 1,5m of water. A stormwater management systemhas recently been proposed consisting of two phases.Phase 1 to the amount of R4,8 mil. consists of upgrading three existing bridges, widening theexisting earth canal, and reinforcing the canal in some places with gabions. Phase 2 to the amount ofR5,2 mil. consists of a detention pond storing approximately 24m 3 /s and discharging a maximum of6m 3 /s through a 1m dia. pipe outlet down a canal linking up with a contributory phase 1 canalentering the main canal at the North Street bridge. Funding for both phases is currently beingsourced.5.3 Solid Waste Disposal:General:A solid waste disposal site for the town of Port St John‟s and Second Beach, not being a registeredsite with DWAF and posing various environmental, health and aesthetical problems, has beenrecently closed.Prior to the closure thereof a new licensed site also being a registered servitude, was opened on erf646 (old Port St John‟s military base), approximately 2,5km west of the sewage treatment works andsludge lagoon, also situated on erf 646. This site is the only waste disposal site for the greater Port StJohn‟s municipal area comprising of 13 wards and will most probably be able to serve wards 3 and 4in future. Currently, no collection takes place in ward 4.Waste disposal facilities within town are inadequate although the municipality does offer a door-todoorcollection system for the town of Port St John‟s and Second Beach. No collection system is inplace for the remainder of the greater Port St. John‟s municipal area.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

445.4 Telecommunications:General:Port St John‟s has a fully automated telephone exchange as well as cellular telephone reception incertain areas dependent on the supplier. Vodacom cellular telephone reception is possible in andaround Port St John‟s, along the District Road 8004 (DR08004) up to Lusikisiki, and in certain areasin and between Tombo to Libode, Tombo to Port St John‟s, Notinsile, and Ngqefeni. MTN hastowers situated in Notinsila, Mgwenyni, Silaka Nature Reserve, Tombo (Municipal office), Port StJohn‟s (Second Beach), Kohlondably, Bambisana Mision, Lusikisiki Telkom Microwave Tower,and Lutsikisiki at Nyuswa. Some of these village names are not reconcilable with the names asstated on the GIS maps available.Permission was granted for the MTN tower at Second Beach, on condition that it should be a sharedtower with other service providers.A mere 0,53% people are served by having phones in their dwellings, 8,93% being served by publicphone, and the remainder have no access to telecommunication facilities in their areas.The municipality has four lines as well as a fax line.5.5 Electricity:General:Electricity is generated in the Witbank area and 600kv are fed via DR (major railway junction –Kimberly) to East London. From East London a 122kv line feeds Umtata. From Umtata another66kv line feeds Port St John‟s. These lines have recently being upgraded by Eskom as it was in apoor state. Approximately two years ago an alternate 122kv supply was installed from Kokstad inKwazulu Natal to Umtata and to Port St John‟s, thus forming a ring main supply.A 66kv bulk electricity supply crosses through the greater Port St John‟s municipal area, dividing itin half. It enters the area in the west at the village of Emantusini situated in ward 13 and lead in anorth easterly direction towards the Kohlo substation situated on the border of ward 7 & 13, inbetweenthe village of Phaphasi and Lupapasi, approximately 30km from the former military base.This transformer is rated at 10Mva with a current load of only 1,8Mva.The substation therefore has sufficient capacity and Escom advised that they are planning to upgradethe station as and when required. From here, still leading in a north easterly direction, it lead toMagwa substation situated in the village of Goso, south east of Lusikisiki and outside of the greaterPort St John‟s municipal area.All other areas serviced are fed by 22kva bulk electricity supply and supply is only affected to thebelow mentioned wards and villages. The remainder is without electricity and makes use of gas,paraffin, candles or other alternate sources.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

The electricity supply, especially to Port St John‟s, is frequently interrupted particularly duringstorms and during the holiday season when demand is high. The supply has become very unreliableand needs to be investigated as a matter of urgency.Wards 8 & 9:Wards 8 & 9 are fed from the Magwa substation situated on the 66kv bulk electricity supply line. Atotal of seven villages to the north of the 66kv line are serviced, four situated within ward 9 and theremaining three in ward 8. Seven villages and the Majola tea factory within ward 13, north of the66kv bulk electricity supply are fed by a 22kv bulk electricity supply from the Kohlo substation.Wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13Wards 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and the most southern part of ward 13, south of the 66kv bulk electricity supplyare fed by a 22kv bulk electricity supply from the Kohlo substation. A total of 27 villages/areas areserviced being ward 2 (Tiger Flats), ward 3 (town, military base, and 1 village), Ward 4 (14villages), Ward 5 (4 villages), Ward 7 (1 village), and ward 13 (4 villages). The electrical supplygoes upto individual connections in town, Second Beach and Military base and “ready board” forMtubane, Tiger Flats, and Green‟s Farm. Agate Terrace and the farms are without electricity.The town of Port St John‟s is fed by the mentioned 22kv bulk electricity supply from the Kohlosubstation. The town has an intake station which then transforms the 22kv line to a 3,3kv line. Thereticulation area includes: Town center, First Beach, Agate Terrace, Second Beach, Silaka,Mtumbane, the former military base, Green‟s farm and Tiger Flats.The low-voltage reticulation for the former military base comprises of aerial bundled conductorswhich can be seen at the premises for the houses, the access roads, the military base and the facilitiesat the shooting range. The area bundled conductors and the creosote poles appear to be in a goodcondition. The connections to the individual houses and other buildings are by means ofunderground cables connected to the pole mounted GRP distribution boxes. The distribution boxesare generally dilapidated and should be fixed for safety reasons. The transmission lines aresupplying the residential area, the military base, the shooting range and the airstrip. Previously, aline to the sewerage works existed, but it has been vandalized.Mercury vapor street lights have been installed along the access road to the military base, as well asthe access road to the houses, streets in the military base and streets at the shooting range facilities.Any potential development identified in the Integrated Development Plan, or based on the shorttermplan, can be accommodated by the current existing electrical supply. Five transformers havebeen identified. Depending on the type of development these transformers may have to be replacedor relocated.Additional street lighting is required in the town center, on the roads to Second Beach and TigerFlats and in Mtumbane. The luminaries are generally in a very poor condition and have to bereplaced. Problems experienced with the electricity include:- The main supply from the Kohlo substation is a 22 kv bare overhead line. This is connected to thesubstation by 2 x x22kv underground cables which run in parallel. This situation is not ideal and one ofthe cables has no fused protection on the intake side.- The structure supporting these cables is badly corroded and requires attention.45Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

- The substation has 2 x 22/3,3 kv transformers. One of these has an oil leak and requires servicing andminor maintenance.- The circuit breakers in the substation are in urgent need of attention and need to be replaced.- About half of the low voltage distribution system is in need of urgent maintenance. The other 50% isfunctional but requires tidying up and general maintenance. The system is adequate for current loads, butwill require upgrading in the near future.465.6 Sewerage:General:A mere 2,65% of the population is served with flush toilets draining to a septic tank and soak-away.Another 23,22% is served by pit latrines, 0,44% by bucket latrines, leaving the remaining 73,70%un-serviced.The areas with some level of service are town, Mtumbane, Second Beach, Tiger Flats, Green‟sFarm, Agate Terrace, Farms, and the former military base, all within ward 3. The other 12 remainingwards have no sanitation facilities.Ward 3:There is no waterborne sewerage in Port St John‟s and all occupied erven are served by septictanks/French drains or pit-latrines, if at all. The majority of the soak-away systems have reachedsaturation point. Part of the town has underground reticulation installed, being part of a futurereticulation for the whole of Port St John‟s. The aforementioned reticulation is currently not in useand has not yet been commissioned. An EIA was recently conducted on reticulating the whole ofPort St John‟s.In some instances septic tank systems have become blocked resulting in a health hazard. A vacuumtanker has been acquired which should improve, through Municipal Infrastructure Programme(MIP), the maintenance of the septic tanks.The effluent is however deposited in the former military base sewerage works which is out ofoperation. An operational bio-disc sewage treatment plant, of which only the concrete holding tanks,concrete channels and the bio-discs still remain, exists near the former military base headquarters.The rest of the infrastructure has been vandalized. The operational capacity of the bio-discs is alsouncertain. Based on the aforementioned, it would be recommended that the plant be abandoned. Theeffluent is therefore retained in the maturation ponds (now acting as oxidation ponds) and theuntreated overflow is running down a stream towards the sea which is unacceptable.Previously, R5,3 million has been approved for the construction of a sewerage disposal works forPort St John‟s. A suitable site now needs to be finalized as a matter of urgency.Toilet facilities at the bus rank, in the center of town, and at Second Beach, are inadequate.Additional facilities are required particularly during peak tourist periods. The public toilets atSecond Beach, the Municipal Hall and the municipal campsites have been allocated money throughthe MIP and PPT and have been upgraded.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

48Ward 4, 5, 6 & 7:A water project for 14 villages in the Tombo area, serving a population of approximately 20000people was recently completed and handed over to the Local Authority on 01 February 2002. 13 Ofthese villages are connected to the bulk supply, fed from the Umgazi River extraction, and theremaining one from a stand alone spring. Management of the system has been contracted out toWSSA until end December 2001. Their contract has subsequently been extended to end March 2002when the Local Authority hopes to have a technician employed. Port St John‟s municipality is theWater Services Provider to these 18 villages and Ward 3 and plans to train people this being a BOTproject.The current project started January 2002 and is earmarked for completion by 17 July 2002. Theproject is being funded by DWAF and the European Union (EU) in the amount of R5,5 mil. Fourvillages with a total current population of approximately 5600 people will benefit from this project.The existing purification plant, that is rated at 13l/s and is currently being upgraded to 22l/s underthe current project.The Tombo Municipal Centre consisting of a clinic, art & culture center, entrepreneur center, and amunicipal office is the only metered supply on this scheme. All schemes has been designedaccording to Level 1 standards, but constructed to RDP (Level 3) standards.The Local Authorities have requested to include an additional village under the current four villageextension, as it could easily be gravitated from the mentioned extension at a minor cost.Ward 8, 1 & 2:Being partly serviced, a technical report was recently compiled for a regional water scheme (namedGqubeni, although only serviced in later phases) that would benefit 82 villages whilst only 6 villageswill form part of Phase 1.The proposed regional water scheme is based on the abstraction of raw water from the MzimvubuRiver approximately 17km from the sea where the supply is non-tidal and non-saline, pumping to awater purification works, a reservoir situated relatively high and gravitation pipe lines to theindividual villages. The scheme can in future be extended by linking up nearby villages withoutsignificant capital investigation.According to a recent study, it was determined that the raw water source (Mzimvubu River) shouldbe sufficient to provide water to the present (Phase 1) and the total development of 82 villages(Phase 2). The river water, at the proposed abstraction point, was analyzed and seems to be freefrom sea water contamination. The suitability of the water source (Mzimvubu River) is subject to theapproval be DWAF of an application to abstract water.It is planned to design all pipework for a 20 year horizon (100l/p/d) and the balance of the works fora 10 year horizon (60l/p/d).A borehole scheme as an alternative raw water source was evaluated, but the widespread location ofthe villages and the variability of an underground water source does not proof sustainable over a 20year period. Existing borehole schemes are presently in disuse.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

A Phase 1 Business Plan was recently submitted to acquire CMIP funding for 2002/2003. Given theextent of the proposed project to supply water to the Port St John‟s area (wards 8, 1 &2), theregional supply scheme has to be phased. The net cost for Phase 1 (excluding VAT) was estimatedat R7 480 000, based on tender rates of similar projects. Given the extent of the project, theanticipated construction period is 12 months. Since the average expected monthly demand perhousehold is less than 6,0kl per month all water must be supplied free of charge (According to theWhite Paper on water provision by authorities).Ward 3 & 4:Raw water is stored in the two Bulolo Dams with the total storage capacity being equal to about 160mega liters.The water purification works are situated between town and Second Beach and a second one at themilitary base. The capacity of the two dams are considered sufficient to meet the envisaged demandfor the medium term future of Port St John‟s alone. Additional water is however required to supplygrowth in Port St John‟s as well as the villages in wards 3 and 4. A new bulk water supply projectcomprising of 2 phases has been proposed.A shortage of water for Port St John‟s and the surrounding area is however anticipated aftercompletion of Phase1, Stage 1 of the Port St John‟s R54 mil. Bulk Water Supply project. This is dueto the supply of seven additional villages off the Stage 1 supply. It has been reported that a shortagecould be prevented if Phase 1, Stage 2 extracting water from the Mngazi River will follow before orimmediately after completion of Stage 1.Military Base:Mt Thesiger was supplied in the past via. a booster pump installation situated adjacent to the 150mmdia. AC raw water gravity main between the Bulolo dam and the weir. The booster pumps and allmechanical and electrical equipment have been stripped from the plant.Raw water drawn from this line was pumped to a 300kl/d water treatment plant at Mt Thesiger. Atee off and pump station was constructed downstream to supply raw water to the military base. Thepump station has been completely vandalized and is no longer operational. However, the pipeline isin a good condition.An operational water purification plant did exist at the base headquarters but have been stripped oftheir mechanical and electrical equipment and are no longer operational. Only the concretereservoirs, concrete sand filters, elevated tank, are still usable. The rest has been vandalized.However, the water retaining capability of the reservoirs and sand filters must still be checked ifthese are to be incorporated into a future plant.The internal network at the former military headquarters is still functional and must be retained andincorporated into a future expanded network. The exact locality of services must be determinedbefore future expansions are planned.Caguba village:A raw water supply system was installed in Caguba several years ago consisting of a raw waterabstraction point in the Mngazi River adjacent to the Mngazi River Bungalows abstraction point,high lift pumps and a 80mm dia. galvanized rising main to a 60kl reservoir in Caguba. The systemhas never been operated. No boreholes have been located in the village.49Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

Vukandlula and Sicambeni village:Vukandlula makes use of the Mngazi River Bungalow‟s raw water rising main and taps have beenprovided the resort for the use of villagers. Two existing boreholes equipped with handpumps wereidentified in Sicambeni, one of which was in working order.Dumasi, Bolani and Cwebeni (including Hlamvana village):No infrastructure exists in these villages at present.Silaka Nature Reserve:Raw water is abstracted from the stream and pumped to a service reservoir situated above theexisting chalets in the reserve. From the reservoir the raw water is reticulated to the chalets forcleansing purposes only.Mngazi River Bungalows:The raw water is pumped from the abstraction point on the Mngazi River through a rising mainapproximately 8kms long to a package treatment plant within the Mngazi River Bungalows site. Thecapacity of the system is estimated to be approximately 40m 3 /d and together with the combinedstorage reservoir capacity of approximately 150m 3 is adequate for the needs of the users. Thepackage treatment plant is operated by the management of the resort. No maintenance problemshave been reported.Villages in general:No maintenance facilities exist in the serviced villages. NWater Resource Planning:The present source of supply to Port St John‟s is provided from the Bulolo River catchments situatedto the north and west of the town. The catchments are environmentally sensitive and the supply fromthis source cannot be increased without further disruption of the eco-system.The area around Port St John‟s is generally known to have poor potential for groundwaterdevelopment and a groundwater potential assessment carried out by VSA Geo-consultants inFebruary 2000 confirmed that there was a poor chance of groundwater potential in the high lyingvillages. Potential for groundwater abstraction from alluvial deposits was identified as a possiblesource was not favoured by the Project Steering Committee due to the likelihood of the water beingbrak as experienced elsewhere in the area.The Umzimvubu “14 villages” scheme situated ± 5 kms upstream of the study area is based onsurface water abstraction from “run of river” flow in the Mngazi. Consideration was given tosupplying Bolani, Dumasi and Cwebeni (including Hlamvana) (the villages situated to the west ofthe Mngazi) from the Umzimvubu “14 villages‟” scheme which is located geographically adjacentto the villages. The capacity of the scheme was however reported insufficient to cater for theadditional demand from these villages. The hydrological information provided in the design reportfor the “14 villages” scheme drawn up by Hawkins Hawkins and Osborne in August 1998 didindicate however, that there would be a surplus flow of 9.3Mm³ in the Mngazi River in a “drought”year in the year 2008 available for downstream users. This volume would be sufficient to augmentthe Port St John‟s water supply requirement of 0,7Mm³/a.The Umzimvubu River runs through Port St John‟s and provides an alternative source that would becapable of providing for the requirements of the proposed scheme. The river is however navigablefor more than 10km upstream and subject to the ebb and flow over this portion.50Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

Any abstraction from the river would have to take place a significant distance from Port St John‟s toensure it took place above the seawater/freshwater interface, particularly during times of droughtand or other periods when very low flows are experienced and the interface moves further inland.The difficulty in abstracting from the river, the length of pipeline required, the terrain through whichthe pipeline would be routed, the high turbidity of the water and the difficulty envisaged inestablished the seawater/freshwater interface ruled this option out at an early stage. In the longerterm it may transpire however that the Umzimvubu River could be developed as a source to supplyincreasing water demands in the region.The Mngazi River is central to the project area and a further abstraction from the river, utilizingsurplus runoff water only will not have any material effect on the stress on the Mngazi catchments.This will provide an adequate source of supply to the Port St John‟s community, Silaka and thesurrounding villages. This source is located centrally within the supply area which also allows forcentralizing the water treatment facility and thereby “optimizes” operation costs. The provisions ofoff-channel storage allows for flexible operating rules limiting stress on the Mngazi and Bulolocatchments and therefore enable the scheme to be “fast-tracked”.Legal:According to the works manager for Port St John‟s, there are, with the exception of the Bulolo upperdam and water lines to Port St John‟s, no servitudes for the existing infrastructure in the area. Theregistration of the necessary servitudes should be undertaken once the works are at an advantagedstage.The infrastructure reported for the various sections is owned by the following parties:-Port St John‟s : Port St John‟s TLCVillages : Kei District CouncilMngazi River Bungalows : Private OwnershipPort St John‟s Bulk water supply:Construction of Phase 1: Stage 1 in the amount of R5,63 mil. (excluding consultancy fees), of theR54 mil. Port St John‟s bulk water supply scheme is underway, with estimated completion by 12July 2002 and the treatment works extending into August 2002.This bulk supply scheme will provide for the envisaged growth in the Port St John‟s SDI node forthe following 20 years and will cater for growth in Port St John‟s itself and at the former militarybase at Mt Thesiger, the proposed development of the Silaka Nature Reserve and for a supply to therural villages surrounding Port St John‟s and the Silaka Nature Reserve, being Dumazi, Bhalani,Hlamvana, Cwebeni, Vukandlule, Sjambeni, and Caguba. These villages are served by six reservoirslocated on various high points close to each village.The area to be served by this scheme is located to the west of the Umzimvubu River, to the east ofthe watershed between the Mngazi and Mngazanana rivers and generally to the south of the UmtataPort St John‟s road (R61). The project is located immediately adjacent to the “Umzimvubu 14villages” scheme and supplies the villages in the geographical area which are not catered for by the“Umzimvubu 14 villages” scheme.Transfer from the Upper Bulolo Dam of the Main Dam is effected during spilling and via. a lowlevel outlet in the concrete weir.51Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

Raw water is gravitated from the main and the weir to the Port St. John‟s water purification worksvia a 3,6km long x 150mm dia. pipeline between the main dam and the weir and a 2,2km long x150mm dia. AC pipeline between the weir and the water treatment works.The assured yield of the dams and weir combined and the capacity of the delivery pipeline areestimated to be 1000m 3 /d (0,355Mm 3 /a), made up of approximately 960m 3 /d from the dams andapproximately 40m 3 from the weir.The water purification works consists of:-- Chemical dosing plant- 12,2m diameter sedimentation tank- 4 No slow sand filters (12.25; 12.25; 10 and 8m dia.) with a total combined filtering area of 362m 2- 3 No service reservoirs with a total capacity of 1490m 3 .The maximum capacity of the plant is 975kl/d with all filters clean. The sustainable capacity is650kl/d.From the purification works the clean water is distributed to the various suburbs in Port St John‟svia. their bulk supply and reticulation network.The existing reticulation in the town consists of:-- 2,1km x 160mm dia. mPVC gravity pipeline to the town center- 3,6km x 110mm dia. mPVC gravity pipeline to Tiger Flats- 0,5km x 140mm dia. mPVC rising main to the 120m 3 reservoir supplying Mtumbane- 0,7km x 160mm dia. mPVC gravity main to Mtumbane- 1,4 km x 75mm dia. AC pipeline to the 465m 3 Second Beach reservoir.The Port St John‟s municipality operates the water supply system to the town and has reported thefollowing problems:-- Frequent bursts on the raw water gravity main from the Bulolo dam to the water treatment works. Thecause of the breaks / bursts are due to the line being inadequately protected over most of its length leavingit open to damage from subsidence as well as the high pressures in the lower lying areas.- Little or no control of levels in reservoirs causing operational problems52- The sustainable capacity of the existing treatment works is only 650m³/day. The municipality is currentlytreating up to 975 kl/day by “hand-washing” of the filter sand on an on-going basis to maximise thethroughput on the slow sand filters. During peak season the demand exceeds the “maximised” plantcapacity and raw-water is reported to have been fed directly into the service reservoirs as the only meansof “catching-up”.- The silt loading of the raw water is high after rainfall reducing filter runs.Phase 1: Stage 2 proposes extracting water from a 490m 3 off-canal dam on the Mngazi River andpumping it to a reservoir on a high spot from where it gravitates to the water treatment works at theBulolo dam, supplementing the current water supply to Port St John‟s. It has however beendetermined that Phase 1: Stage 2 form an integral part and should immediately follow Stage 1, as theBulolo dam has insufficient capacity to service both the CBD and the additional seven villages beingserviced under Stage 1.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

The condition of structures is not ofgood quality; infact some schools (4) do not even have a structure. These are negative factors andcan also be seen as the main reason for poor matric pass rate in the province.

566.3 Sports and Recreation6.3.1 Sports FacilitiesThe only available information regarding sports and recreation is only for Ward 3, theformer Port St. John‟s TLC. For the rest of the region it is assumed that school sportsfields and other informal fields are found. The following sports and recreation facilitiesare found (Former TLC area/Ward 3).1 Municipal Sportsfield: -This facility is shared between schoolsand the community1 Public Swimming Pool: -Located centrally in Town-Approximately 100m²1 Private 9 hole Golf Course: -Located on the western side of the CBD,west of Cape Hermses HotelFrom the above, it is clear that there is a lack of formal sports facilities within the GreaterPort St. John‟s Municipal area. The existing facilities are in poor condition. This is onone hand caused by a lack of developable land.From the workshops held by the Port St. John‟s IDP Representative Forum, a lack ofsports facilities came as one of the major issues. It has been stated that this result is thecriminal activities.6.3.2 Recreation FacilitiesThe natural environment of Port St. John‟s serves as an important recreation facility. Thisinclude:First BeachSecond BeachNatural ForestOther than the above mentioned recreation facilities, the area lacks recreation facilities.This must however be addressed in order to cater for the development of the tourismindustry6.4 Tourism FacilitiesThe natural environment and beaches are the main important elements attracting tourists to PortSt. John‟s. It is therefore important that these are maintained. In support to these, there is a needfor tourist accommodation especially traditional accommodation (The Community have beenencountering foreign tourists who are looking for accommodation in the Xhosa traditional huts).Through this industry, a number of seasonal jobs can be created.Table 27 gives an indication of existing tourist accommodation.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

A largechunk of this lives in rural areas where mud structures are mostly constructed. The expressedhousing need according the Draft Multi-year Housing Development Plan (2001) is:Urban : 6 000Rural : 40 000TOTAL : 46 000Over the last 3 years there has only been 1 housing project in Port St. John‟s area (Mtumbane:425 structures). There is a need to wipe the housing backlog (46 000). This can however not bedone over the next 5 years. At present 2500 structures can be constructed each year over the next5 years.7.2 Land RequirementsAvailability of land is the biggest problem in the provision of residential structures. The naturalenvironment (forests) is major limitation to the provision of housing in urban areas. In ruralareas, most of the land belongs to the Department of Land Affairs. Unless the land‟s problemsare solved, provision of housing in Port St. John‟s will be difficult.Most housing developments in the rural areas will be in-situ. Land for approximately 200 ha willbe needed for the construction of at least 6500 structures.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

‣ Tourism developmentPort St. John‟s is a major tourist centre, but this industry is not well developed at this stage.Economic development, Job creation to be specific mostly depend on this industry. There is a needfor accommodation facilities like resorts for traditional accommodation in the Municipal area. Thiswill to some extent create self employment for especially the poor.‣ Fishing industryThis industry can be a major boost to the economic development of the area. Currently, the fishingindustry is poorly organised.‣ SMME developmentOver the last 10 years, the informal sector business have been increasing. Concentration on SMMEwith special emphasis on skills development can be a major boost for the poverty strickencommunity. This will ensure sustainability of the projects.61‣ Funding for projectsThere has been limited funding for Local Economic Development projects.municipality needs to explore all available awareness to access finance.However, the‣ Marketing and market centresProduction of goods alone without proper marketing will result in the project no being sustainable.Port St. John‟s Integrated Development PlanChapter 2: Analysis

1032.0 IntegrationIn Phase 4 of the IDP Process the Municipality engages in a process of a line in work done to date. TheIntegration Phase is mainly aimed at ensuring that the project proposals are in line with objectives andstrategies. Importantly, individual projects have to be harmonised in order to arrive at consolidated andintegrated programmes for the Municipality and for sector agencies or corporate service providers involvein provision of services within the Municipality.In terms of the provisions of the Municipal Systems Act, the result of Phase 4 (Integration) is anoperational strategy. The operational strategy includes various operational programmes and sector plans.Most of these outputs are summaries of project programmes or ready formulated as part of Phase 3 of theIDP Process. Additional planning and decision making steps are not required as part of the IntegrationPhase. However, cross-checking revision and aligning are the main components of Phase 4. Establishingthe Integrated programmes and plans are not meant to add contents to planning work done so far. It meansrather, to compile summaries from various cross cutting perspectives. As these summaries are the basis ofconsistency, compliance and cross checks, they may result in a revision of project proposals andcorresponding amendments of the integrated plans or programmes.This chapter of the IDP addresses sector programmes and sector plans.‣ Sector ProgrammesSector programmes included in the Integrated Development Plan:5 Year Action PlanFinancial and Capital Investment PlanSpatial Development FrameworkDisaster Management PlanIntegrated Monitoring Performance Management And Institutional ProgrammeIntegrated Poverty Reduction And Gender Equity ProgrammeIntegrated Environmental ProgrammeIntegrated LED ProgrammeIntegrated HIV/AIDS Programme‣ Sector PlansThe following sector plans are referred to in the Integrated Development Plan:Water Services Development PlanIntegrated Transport PlanIntegrated Waste Management PlanThe operational strategies (Sector Programme and Sector Plans) provide a short summary of relatedstrategy guidelines and projects as identified through the planning process.Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

1144.0 Sector ProgrammesRefer to background and context outline in Chapter 5, Paragraph 2.4.1 5 Year Action ProgrammeCross reference in IDP document- Chapter 4 (Projects)- Chapter 5 (Consolidated Operational Strategies Table, columns b,c and d)Purpose of the 5 year Action ProgrammeThe purpose of the 5 year action programme is to ensure a close link between Integrated Development Planningand Municipal Management by providing an overview of the major activities and projects in the Municipalitywhich result from the IDP. The action programme further establishes a basis for monitoring of progress byindicating timeframes for implementation of identified projects.The action programme and performance management system are closely linked and interrelated.Project implementationProject implementation are reflected over a 5 year period (refer to the Consolidated Operational StrategiesTable). It is important to note that a number of projects and activities will be implemented in more than onefinancial year, which necessatets project performance and implementation revision on an ongoing basis. Thiswill be done as part of the annual Integrated Development Plan and budget review process. A number ofprojects are depended and subject to external finance and projected municipal income. Implementation of theaction programme are therefore subject to availability of funding as indicated in Column E of the ConsolidatedOperational Strategies Table.4.2 5 Year Financial and Capital Investment PlanCross reference in IDP document- Chapter 4 (Projects)- Chapter 5 (Consolidated Operational Strategies Table, columns b and e)Purpose of the 5 year financial and capital investment plan- To create the medium term strategic framework for allocating municipal resources through the municipalbudgeting process- To ensure financial viability and sustainability of the municipality‟s investments and operations- To ensure a close planning and budget link- Inform municipal budgeting- Facilitate intergovernmental alignment with regards to capital requirements and sources of funding- Asses financial management arrangements and financial strategy- To outline revenue and expenditure forecastsFinancial planning within the Local Authority is extremely difficult and ever changing. The dynamic setting ofour local authorities and the changing times that we live in bring about constant change and presents variousvariables. These are often not predictable.Needs, claims and demands are far in excess of what is available. Characteristic of human nature, each andeverybody experiences his/her needs as the most important and naturally any given community demands firstpriority, while the various needs are extensive as well as diverse.Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

It is a well accepted fact that in any given budget or financial plan there will always be needs which cannot beaccommodated and therefore there will always be a perception of negligence. However, financial planningmust be done within the Local Authority to accommodate the principle of sustainability and sound financialmanagement. Given the nature of Integrated Development Planning and a number of financial unknowns, it iscritical that Council‟s financial strategies be revised on a continuous basis. This will ensure realisticmonitoring and the implementation of proactive adjustments to the status quo.Financial Management ArrangementsThe following financial management arrangements are in place for the Municipality:The Finance Department is managed by the newly appointed Financial Manager with theassistance of an Accountant Manager, 4 Accounting Clerks (Budget & Expenditure, Income &Credit Control, Cashier & Building and Salaries & Bookkeeping) and 1 Meter reader.Council has adopted a number of policies to guide the financial procedure and operation. Thesepolicies include a credit control policy, debt collecting policy, rates and tariffs policy, indigentpolicy and the free basic services policy. Asset control policies and investment policies have notbeen prepared yet.Port St. Johns is in the process of linking the present financial system with that of OR. TamboDistrict Municipality at no cost. This will be in operation at the beginning of 2003/4 financialyear. In general the Financial Management System of the Port St. Johns Municipality can beregarded as adequate with no shortfalls.Financial Strategy- Financial Guidelines (Department of Finance)As part of its responsibility in maintaining macro economic and physical stability, the National Treasuryannually determines aggregate guidelines concerning the capital, operating and special and trustexpenditures of Municipalities. Guidelines by the Department of Finance for preparing budgets andfinancial statements in the light of newly established Municipalities are briefly summarised. Theseguidelines form the basis of sound Municipal financial planning and financial strategy.‣ Municipalities are not permitted to budget for a year end deficit, budgets should be prepared taken into accountthe policies and priorities of the new Council.‣ Municipalities are free to reprioritise expenditures and to focus resources where most needed.‣ The maximum expenditure increases of 6% for the 2001/2002; 5,5% for 2002/2003 and 4,5% for 2003/2004financial years apply, respectively. This applies to the capital and operating budgets.‣ Final decisions have not been made with regard to the division of powers and functions and budgets should beprepared assuming that Municipalities continue to be responsible for the services currently provided.‣ Multi year budgets should assume the delivery of current services for the next 3 year period.‣ Implementation of GAMAP(Generally Accepted Municipal Accounting Practice) by 2003/2004. Budgets andfinancial statements for the 2003/2004 financial years should be completely compliant with GAMAP.‣ The maximum guideline growth rate of 6% of operating and expenditure budgets can under exceptionalcircumstances increase.‣ Capital budget increases are limited to 6% excluding adhoc (Outside funds) expenditure.‣ In determining capital priorities, the focus must be towards capital infrastructure development projects where thegreatest need exist.‣ Affordability and sustainability are important issues to be considered in determining priorities.‣ Municipal assets should be adequately maintained to minimise capital spending on upgrading replacement costs.‣ Special attention should be paid to the maintenance of infrastructure.‣ In the event of taking up loans, it must be ascertained whether the resultant commitments of interests are withinthe Council‟s Financial means.‣ Within the financial year, Municipalities should monitor their spending closely and incur additional expenditureonly if sufficient savings can be achieved elsewhere.‣ Municipalities should not amend their budgets more than once or twice per annum.115Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

116- Revenue raising strategyThe current revenue raising strategy:The Council is determined to maximise revenue collection by encouraging ratepayers to pay for servicesdelivered. Legal route is to be taken as a last resort.The current percentage of rate payments are estimated as 40% (Urban area). This low payment in servicesaffects Council‟s ability to implement it‟s capital projects and it‟s financial position is therefore regardedas poor.Improvement of Council‟s revenue raising ability has a wide reaching affect on the role of developmental LocalGovernment. Income generation is subject to a number of variables:Economic Base of the TownNumber of non-residential rate payersSocio-Economic profile of the town‟s service consumersEconomic growth in generalThese factors, inter alia, will affect the town‟s ability to raise revenue. Revenue raising does not start on it‟s own butforms part of an approach to Local Government Management, this includes Service Delivery, Local EconomicDevelopment, Tourism, Effectiveness of Staff, Rates and Service etc. Therefore revenue raising does not stand on itsown but is the result of improved governance.The following are areas of possible intervention:Provide services in accordance with household affordability levelsInvestigate the possibility of pre-paid service delivery systemsImplement Local Development principles (Economic) and the Local Economic Development PlanExplore and utilise external sources of finance to its maximumForm partnerships with local business, NGO‟s and other funding agentsImplement Council‟s financial policies and strategiesImprove and refine Council‟s policies and strategiesStrictly implement credit control in order to recover outstanding debtsDevelop a long term tariff and income strategy that will ensure financial stability without over-burdening the taxpayer and consumerProvide an effective service to the publicImplement an indigent policy- Asset Management strategyThe current asset management strategy:No asset management strategy is implemented by the MunicipalityPossible areas for intervention with respect to asset management include:‣ It is important to note that assets may be of financial, physical or an enterprise nature (including investments)‣ Identify assets of strategic importance‣ Identify possible outsourcing strategies and options‣ Incur cost savings and reduction in maintenance where and when possible‣ Assign responsibility with respect to the management of all Council‟s assets- Cost effectiveness strategyThe current cost effectiveness strategy:No cost effectiveness strategy are implemented by the Port St. Johns Municipality.Guidelines provided by the Department of Finance gives clear and strategic ways of implementing costeffectiveness. Cost effectiveness, strategy can include:Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

117‣ Strict capital and operating budget increases to 6% per annum‣ Budgets are not permitted to indicate a year end deficit‣ Implement effective performance management and institutional structures‣ Investigate possibilities for public private partnerships and outsourcing.Revenue and expenditure forecast, including Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF)- IncomeThe key to successful implementation of the Municipality‟s Integrated Development Plan and strategies isthe efficient management of scarce financial resources or limited income. The Municipality has severalpossible sources of income:‣ Service feesCharging residents for electricity, water, refuse collection and sewerage and other services they utilise.‣ RentsCharging rent for buildings, land or facilities owned by the Municipality‣ Fines and licences‣ Interest on investments‣ RatesLevying assessment rates on land value‣ GrantsFrom National, Provincial and Regional (District Municipality) Government for capital projects and agency functionsThe projected income for the Municipality is reflected in the tables. Data in the table includesource of income for the current financial year, 2002/3, 2003/4 and 2004/5.

Calculation of this impact is extremely difficult.However, it is possible to provide some guidelines and make certain assumptions that can assist theLocal Authority to ensure long-term sustainability.Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

121‣ Goods and services delivered by Council must be paid for and/or must be affordable to the beneficiaries‣ Non-payment of services impact directly on Council‟s ability to maintain services and infrastructure andprovide basic services to the Community.‣ The capacity of Communities to pay for services must determine the level of services they receive‣ The level of economic growth and employment levels will determine the capacity of the Community tosustain services‣ Income generation must be one of Council‟s primary functions‣ Ongoing monitoring of projects and impact on operating budget.The impact of project on Council‟s operating budget are reflected in column E of the ConsolidatedOperational Strategies Table4.3 Spatial Development FrameworkCross reference in IDP document- Chapter 2 (Analysis)- Chapter 3 (Strategies)- Chapter 4 (Projects)Purpose of the Spatial Development Framework- To provide general direction to guide decision making and action over a multi-year period aiming at thecreation of integrated and habitable cities, town and residential areas- Creating a strategic framework for the formulation of an appropriate land use management system- Informing decisions of development tribunals, Housing Departments and relevant development committees- Creating a framework of investment confidence that facilitates both public and private sector investmentSpatial analysis overviewRefer to paragraph 2.1 (Chapter 2)Strategic guidelinesIn an attempt to develop a Local Spatial Development Plan, it is imperative that the National,Provincial and Local Spatial Policies and legislation are taken cognisance of.The Municipal Spatial Development Plan and Planning must adhere to these spatial guidelines anddevelop their own approach within these parameters.- National and Provincial Spatial Policy Framework- Local Government: Municipal Structures Act- Local Government: Municipal Systems Act- Development Facilitation Act (DFA)- Urban Development Strategy of the Government of National Unity- Urban Development Strategy of the East Cape Province- Rural Development Strategy of the Government of National Unity- Rural Development Strategy of the East Cape Province- Land Use Planning Bill- Reconstruction and Development Program- GEAR- Environmental Conservation Act- NEMA- Eastern Cape Spatial Development Plan (ECSDP)Main informants to the process of spatial planning are the DFA and the ECSDPPort St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

122- Development Facilitation Act (DFA)An analysis of the various policies indicates that many spatial policy guidelines and principles areduplicated. The most comprehensive and all-inclusive set of spatial guidelines is found in the DFA. TheDFA was passed to achieve three key objectives:‣ To provide a coherent policy framework for land development, land registration and planning inSouth Africa according to the “general principles for land development” in Chapter 1 of the Act‣ To speed up and facilitate the approval of land development applications‣ To provide for a beginning to the overhaul of the existing planning and land developmentframeworkThe general principles for land development are contained in Chapter 1 of the DFA. These are:‣ Development in formal and informal, existing and new settlements‣ Discourage the illegal occupation of land‣ Efficient and Integrated Land development by:Promoting the integration of the social, economic, institutional and physical aspects of landdevelopmentPromoting integrated land development in rural and urban areas in support of each otherPromoting the availability of residential and employment opportunities in close proximity to orintegrated with each otherOptimising the use of existing resources including such resources relating to agriculture, land,minerals, bulk infrastructure, roads, transportation and social facilitiesPromoting a diverse combination of land uses, also at the level of individual erven or subdivisions oflandDiscouraging the phenomenon of „urban sprawl” in urban areas and contribute to the development ofmore compact towns and citiesContributing to the correction of the historically distorted spatial patterns of settlement in theRepublic and to the optimum use of existing infrastructure in excess of current needsEncouraging environmentally sustainable land development practices and processes‣ Public participation‣ Capacity building‣ Facilitating developer interaction with Government‣ Clear laws, procedures and administrative practice‣ Sustainable land development which:Promote land development that is within the fiscal, institutional and administrative means of theRepublicPromote the establishment of viable communitiesPromote sustained protection of the environmentMeet the basic needs of all citizens in an affordable wayEnsure the safe utilisation of land by taking into consideration factors such as geological formationsand hazardous undermined areas‣ Speedy land development‣ No one land use is more important than any others‣ Security of tenure‣ Co-ordination of land development‣ Promotion of open markets and competitionThese principles will guide all subsequent policy guidelines and the Port St. Johns Spatial DevelopmentPlan will also adhere to these basic guidelines.Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

123- Eastern Cape Spatial Development Plan (ECSDP)A second very important guideline that will affect the Municipal Spatial Development Framework is theEastern Cape Spatial Development Plan (ECSDP). This plan has not been finalised, but has progressedto an advanced stage already. The basic principles of the plan have been accepted throughout theProvince and some District Councils (e.g. Ukhahlamba, Cacadu) have applied the principles in greaterdetail in their own areas of jurisdiction.The purpose of the Eastern Cape Spatial Development Plan is stipulated as follows:‣ A co-ordinating Provincial Spatial Framework to dovetail public sector investment towards acommon vision and set of objectives‣ Provide a policy framework, which will give direction t other development agencies in theProvince as to the priorities of Government‣ To make public investment programs more efficient‣ Target opportunities to create effective, sustainable economic growth in the Province‣ To protect natural systems‣ To make efficient use of resources at a provincial level‣ To avoid duplication of effort by different departments and spheres of Government‣ To enable District Councils and Local Authorities to work within a broad policy framework whenpreparing their IDP‟s and LDO‟sIn implementing the plan the following objectives were set:‣ To identify main nodes of activity and potential‣ To identify key spatial development issues‣ To formulate key principles of spatial development‣ To suggest broad development scenarios‣ To achieve alignment with National Planning Strategies‣ To set out development priorities form a spatial point of view‣ To formulate management principles and criteria for spatial development decisions‣ To prioritise key actions and assignments for implementationTowards this end the Policy Framework adopts an approach which implies that it will be necessary toidentify nodes and corridors with opportunity and target development initiatives to promoteconsolidation of settlement areas and facilitate cost effective development/ optimise returns oninvestment.The application of this strategic approach would mean that the municipality would apply a policy ofinvestment and management on three levels to achieve the most significant results.- Level 1The first level would fulfill basic human rights in the provision of basic services to both urbanand rural areas, at a minimal level in terms of the available resources and as provided for in theConstitution.- Level 2Level 2 will ensure the managed investment of public sector funding in the urban and ruralareas in order to build local capacity, build on strengths and opportunities which exist andmaximise potential for the existing infrastructure and settlement system.- Level 3Level 3 will involve the provision of adequate funding to strategically target developmentzones, which have development potential and maximum return on investment.Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

124The above approach is essentially a spatial investment strategy, which is needed to optimisescarce resources.The strategy lights that development needs to be managed on the basis of pre-determined nodesand corridors of development and forms the basis of the District Development Framework.The core focus of this strategy is therefore:There would be a focus on developing nodes and corridors where economic opportunities andresources exist, or where such opportunities can be stimulatedNodes should be identified and linked to the specific level of investmentInvestment should target areas where the economic opportunities and returns are greatestThe need to link investment in various sectors between department, to maximise benefits andachieve a co-ordinated effortLink the spatial expenditure (basic infrastructure for basic needs) with “spin-offs” fromeconomic development wherever possibleInter-departmental cross-sector planning and implementation programsObjectives for spatial developmentThe municipality, as a major role-player in implementing developmental Local Government and thedevelopment of its communities, need to formulate and adopt a strategic approach towards investmentand development. The strategic approach or objective relates directly to the management of spatialdevelopment of its area of jurisdiction.To this end the following are emphasised:- The need to conceptualise the hierarchy, importance and sustainability of settlements in the region- The need to focus on what is achievable in development terms and how this relates to spatial developmentproposals- The need to direct investment towards areas of highest impact and return- To distinguish between different levels of investment- To accept the need for cost effective investment on all levels- To establish and set in motion a process of change to align the status quo with the proposal of the spatialdevelopment framework- The municipality spatial development framework and subsequent policy statements are strongly guided bythe Eastern Cape Spatial development Plan.Settlement hierarchyThe need to catagorised the settlements in the municipal area is derived from the Eastern CapeSpatial development Plan.The main aim of the new approach to the management of spatial development is described asfollows:“Acknowledging the scarcity of financial (capital) resources, it is realm desirable to devise a policy to directthe investment of development funding within the spatial roam of the Province to achieve overall desirableoutcomes in a strategic sense.That needs to say that direction need to be given to development spending which will contribute to a betterspatial hierarchy of settlement, and the improved utilisation of scarce productive land resources to betterachieve the overall goals of growth and development in the Province.”The Eastern Cape Spatial Development Plan certain nodes and settlements in line with the levelsof investment and hierarchy (as outlined previously).Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

In determining the hierarchy of settlements the following guidelines and opportunities are used:- Settlements of unique character- Settlements with significant growth potential- Function and services- Population- Transport links- Tourism- Agriculture- InstitutionalSpatial Development Framework Strategies and Policies- Strategic GuidelinesThe strategic guidelines as outlined in the Municipal Spatial Development Framework withspecific reference to the Development Facilitation Act and the Eastern Cape Spatial DevelopmentFramework are excepted as part of the Municipal Spatial Framework.The Chapter 1 principles as outlined in the Development Facilitation Act must be implemented aspart of all land development actions or projects.The Local Spatial Policy Guidelines currently applicable and implemented in the study areashould be excepted as planning tools. However , these planning tools should be revised on acontinuous basis to provide detail to the Integrated Development Plan (Spatial DevelopmentFramework).- Settlement Hierarchy and nodesPort St. Johns Municipality is made up of one Node-Port St. Johns Town and the surroundingrural areas.- Tourism and RecreationThe following strategies with respect to tourism should be adhered to:‣ protection of the natural and cultural environment‣ implement national legislation and regulation regarding to environment protection‣ encourage and promote the sustainable use of natural and cultural facilities to the advantage of tourism‣ maintain the unique character of the region by implementing the urbanization policy and nationalguidelines‣ promote access to the resources in the area‣ tourism potential should be developed‣ Maximum utilisation of tourism attractions in the region to benefit local job creation.- Transportation and linkages‣ upgrade major access routes and distributors to improve tourism feasibility and the agriculture industryin the area‣ roads of highest importance and roads linking nodal points should be prioritized- Industry‣ identify areas for possible future light industrial developments125Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

135Strategic GuidelinesLocal Economic Development is one of the cornerstones of Local Government and Povertyreduction. The role of Local Government as a developmental body can not be overemphasised.Various pieces of legislation and Government Policy highlights and outlines the importance of LocalEconomic Development and Poverty reduction. Policies and legislation guiding and outlining LocalEconomic Development are:‣ White Paper on Local Government‣ RDP‣ Gear‣ The Constitution‣ Various guides and handbooksLocal Economic Development is a locally driven process designed to identify, harness and utiliseresources to stimulate the economy and create job opportunities.LED is not one specific action or programme, rather it is the sum total of the individual contributionsof a broad spectrum of the community.LED occurs when the Local Authority, Business, Labour, NGO‟s and most importantly individualstrive to improve the economic status by combining skills, resources and ideas.To this end the Department of Provincial and Local Government issues a charter on Local EconomicDevelopment for South Africa. For the purpose of the IDP it is important to highlight the 8 principleswhich guide South African Municipalities engaging in Local Economic Development.Local people, through their democratically elected municipality, should establish a vision for localeconomic development. This should include promoting growth, reducing inequality, increasingparticipation and tackling poverty.The basic quality of life in our localities will be a key determinant of their successes. We should bet „onthe basics‟, and work to ensure that all our residents and businesses have access to good services and aclean and healthy environment.Everything which the Council does – if it is done well – could potentially contribute to economicdevelopment. Hence responsibility for economic development should not be confined to a special unitor programme responsible for investment promotion.Investment promotion is a vital component of local economic development. Our efforts to attractinvestment should be linked to clear social and economic goals, especially job creation and balanceddevelopment.A major opportunity for growth and development lies in meeting basic needs. Public works, housing,social and community services constitute an opportunity to bring people into the labour force. Theseshould not be seen as inferior jobs.A more supportive civic culture will encourage an adventurous business climate. Civic institutions,cultural and social structures can help to build confidence and trust. In particular we should help smallfirms to network, share ideas and take risks.A divided city cannot be successful or competitive. It is in everybody‟s interests to narrow the gapswhich divide us geographically and economically.The economic potential within impoverished communities is considerable. With the right support andencouragement, including concerted education and training, the poorest in our community can achieve agreat deal.Port St. Johns Integrated Development PlanChapter 5: Operational Strategies

1411.0 IntroductionThe IDP is not stagnant and represents an ever-changing policy and strategy that must grow and evolvewith the Local Authority and its people. The IDP stipulates definite objectives, projects indicators andprogrammes that must be achieved within the planning period.Monitoring, evaluation and review make up a system to assess the performance of the municipality.Monitoring and evaluation are critical to:‣ Ensure the implementation of plans‣ Measure their development impact‣ Ensure the efficient use of resources‣ Measure Council‟s successMonitoring, evaluation and review mechanisms should be implemented as an ongoing or cyclical activityand should be built into the annual planning and budgeting cycle. The Performance Management Systemof the Municipality must fulfil this role.Existing monitoring, evaluation and review mechanisms employed by the different departments in theLocal Authority may have to be significantly adjusted.‣ MonitoringMonitoring is a continuous activity to measure indicators with regard to the short term outputs or outputsof the planning process. Amongst other things, it will provide project information to management, in orderto keep the project on track with the right results being achieved on time and within budget. Monitoringincludes systematically collecting and using information about each project to enable management toproceeding as it should and that the beneficiaries are satisfied.‣ EvaluationEvaluation is a less frequent activity, which is designed to measure whether, and to what degree thedevelopment objectives are being achieved through the implementation of the Integrated DevelopmentPlan. It will measure the medium term impact and outcomes of the planning process. This provides theinformation required to reappraise the development objectives and indicators and whether the strategiesand policies still hold good and whether they need to be amended or adjusted, and why.‣ ReviewReview is making adjustments and revision based on monitoring or evaluation information. The results ofmonitoring provide adjustments and corrective actions that are fed back into your planning process, to reinformproject planning, design and implementation. These results re-inform the development priorities,goals and strategies.
