5.2 Funding RequirementsIt is proposed that the following operational 10 and capital 11 budget would be required to implement this SP:KEY PERFORMANCE AREAKPA 1: Biodiversity and heritageconservation2013/2014 2014/2015 2015/2016 2016/2017 2017/2018CAPEX(R)OPEX(R)CAPEX(R)OPEX(R)CAPEX(R)OPEX(R)CAPEX(R)OPEX(R)CAPEX(R)OPEX(R)1,200,000 65,000 650,000 70,000 120,000 75,000 80,000 75,000 25,000 80,000KPA 2: Sustainable use 0 15,000 0 15,000 0 15,000 0 15,000 130,000 20,000KPA 3: Enforcement, security andaccess control265,000 45,000 40,000 55,000 0 60,000 0 65,000 0 65,000KPA 4: Infrastructure and equipment 650,000 60,000 520,000 70,000 460,000 85,000 200,000 95,000 240,000 105,000KPA 5: Stakeholder involvement 0 10,000 0 10,000 0 15,000 0 15,000 0 20,000KPA 6: Administration and planning 0 15,000 0 20,000 0 25,000 0 25,000 0 30,000Total 2,115,000 210,000 1,210,000 240,000 580,000 275,000 280,000 290,000 395,000 320,00010 Operational costs are roughly based on an area-complexity factor (i.e. different cost ranges per ha, based on the level (high, medium or low) of management complexity). This was then moderated against documentedexpenditure for operational costs in LEDET reserves, wherever available. This was then again moderated against equivalent reserves in Kwa-Zulu Natal and the Western Cape, as well as reserves of SANParks and ECParks,where operating costs have stabilised and are well documented over a period of three to five years.11 Capital budget requirements are roughly based on known costs for similar capital investments, either in terms of replacement costs (e.g. vehicles), infrastructure development costs (e.g. cost/ha or cost/km for fencing orroads), bulk services (e.g. costs/m for pipelines, etc.), or building costs (e.g. cost/m 2 for staff accommodation or chalets), etc.LEDET Reserve Management Documents: Wonderkop Nature Reserve (Strategic Plan) 51
5.3 Roles and ResponsibilitiesThe key responsibilities of the reserve management team and the proposed WNRMC in thedevelopment, implementation, monitoring and review of the RMP are summarised as follows:Reserve Management Team (SONR)Regional Manager(Waterberg)Reserve Manager(Wonderkop NatureReserve)Biodiversity Unit(LEDET HO)The Regional Manager shall have overall responsibility for:- Ensuring the alignment of the SP with Provincial and LEDET policies andguidelines;- Ensuring the coordination and alignment of the SP with other LEDETdepartmental activities and initiatives;- Providing oversight of the implementation the SP and APO;- Reporting on the performance of the WNR in the implementation ofthe SP and APO to the Senior Manager (SONR);- Instituting corrective actions to ensure that the SP and linked APO areimplemented, reviewed and updated; and- Approval of the APO.The Reserve Manager shall have direct responsibility for: Annually drafting an APO to operationalize the priority activitiesidentified in the SP; Implementation of the APO; Monitoring of performance against the APO (and the SP); Reporting on the performance of the WNR against the APO (and theSP) to the WNRMC; Management of reserve staff, resources and finances in theimplementation of the APO; and Communicating with the Regional Manager about obstacles in theimplementation of the APO.The Biodiversity Unit of LEDET shall have direct responsibility for: Implementation of the designated priority activities in the SP andlinked APO; and Providing professional and technical support to the Regional Manager,Reserve Manager and WNRMC in the implementation of the SP andAPO.Wonderkop Nature Reserve Management CommitteeThe WNRMC may have overall responsibility for: Representing the interests of the different reserve stakeholder groups and institutions duringthe preparation of the SP and APOs; Overseeing the drafting of the SP and APOs; Providing strategic inputs into the drafting of the SP, and technical inputs into the annualdrafting of the APOs; Making recommendations to the Regional Manager on the adoption of the SP and annual APOs; Reviewing the quarterly and annual performance against the APO (and SP); and Providing inputs into ad hoc and emergency reserve decision-making not adequately addressedin the SP/APO.The Regional Manager and Senior Manager (SONR) are the officials responsible for submitting the SP tothe Head of Department (HOD, Economic Development, Environment and Tourism) for formal approvaland adoption. The HOD will then submit the approved SP to the Limpopo MEC for EconomicDevelopment, Environment and Tourism as per the requirements of NEMPAA.
