2013_14 IDP Review.pdf - KZN Development Planning

Inavailability of reliable data:Although amendments to the Nquthu SDF could have been undertaken inhouse, The Development Planning Shared Services (DPSS) wasunable to acheive this at the time of submission of the IDP, mainly due to the fact that reliable STAT SA report was still unavailable.Credebility of localised data for which quality has not been tested would have posed challenges, particulalry at the provincial level whenSDF’s are assessed.3.6.2 SDFs: INTERVENTIONSThe Department of Rural Development and Land Reform has funded the compillation of Msinga Municipal SDF with ancillery Precinct Planfor Keate’s Drift area. The project is due to be completed in due course. Supply Chain Regulations renders a tender invalid when servicescommence beyond 90 days after advertising, therefore uMvoti Municipality has not been able to appoint a Consultant. The notice calling outfor a tender is closing during thr first week of November 2012 after which an appointment will be finalised. Budget for this exercise has beenmade available during 2012/13 financial year. Soon after the release of the STAT SA information, an exercise of effecting factual spatial andnon-spatial information on the affected ward boundaries of Nquthu Municipality’s SDF will be undertaken. It will be a duplication of effortsand waste of resources to undertake the same exercise as that of STAT SA, which in turn may also be labelled as not credible.3.6.3 SDFs: RECOMMENDATIONSAll necessary mitagation strategies to minimise the risks where the MEC described the municipalities as non-compliant are underway. At thisjuncture, monitoring of the SDF project by various municipalities is important. These SDF’s are being undertaken within the parameters ofthe District SDF which was approved earlier this year.Table 42: State of readiness on National Disaster implementation per Municipality (Y/N and Date)FunctionaldisastermanagementcentreDisasterManagementHead/Managerappointed2009/10 2010/11 2011/12disasterDisasterdisasterDisasterDisasterFunctionalDisasterFunctionalmanagementManagementmanagementManagementmanagementdisastermanagementdisasterplan orHead/plan orHead/forumsmanagementforumsmanagementframework inManagerframework inManagerestablishedcentreestablishedcentreplaceappointedplaceappointedDisastermanagementforumsestablisheddisastermanagementplan orframework inplaceY Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y YJuly 2009 July 2009 July 2009 July 2010 July 2010 July 2010 July 2010 July 2011 July 2011 July 2011 July 2011 July 2011Draft 2013/14 IDP Review Page 313Prepared by Umzinyathi District Municipality22 March 2013
