MATJHABENG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Municipal Profile Section 11: Planning practises assessment planning activities Building Plan Approval Development applications Consultation This section investigates the legislative requirements of having an IDP, SDF and land use scheme in place. Though not legislated, it also includes a long term strategic plan (e. g. a growth and development strategy).

These systems can be relatively large and complex (e. g. an agent based transport and land use modelling system) or relatively simple (such as an excel spread sheet calculating the number of social facilities to be provided as for different population scenarios). Information systems can thus be defined in this particular context as the means by which skilled municipal officials use software and information to support the process of spatial restructuring.

MATJHABENG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Municipal Profile Section 11: Planning practises assessment organisational tactics Human resources Change control The organisational tactics, or rather the extent to which the organisation support the Planning function can at best be described as being in its “awareness” phase. It is largely left up to individuals to up skill themselves or to acquire necessary information required for personal growth. More interaction with planning role-players are required for the planning function to grow the municipality. This includes access to information and networking with planners at other municipalities or other spheres of government. Organisation takes an active role in participating in steering groups/working parties and or preparing submissions on proposed legislative changes Organisation informs staff of legislative changes affecting their work Organisation monitors possible legislative changes or changes in standards that may have an impact on its operations or policies Is any skills required to ensure detail project proposals (e. g. design framework) is implemented? Project packaging and implementation? Is the planning function adequate (capacity, trainining, skills etc) to give effect to proposals from the SDF / other plans? Level of Town Planning expertise is appropriate to each job Staff regularly attend workshops as appropriate to close skill gaps Strategic alignment Skill gaps in Town Planning are assessed Corporate data required for Strategic Planning is easily available and used consistently across the organisation Customer KPIs for IDP and Planning function are aligned Town Planning policies and plans are well aligned and have strong linkages to ensure corporate objectives are achieved 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% human resources Planning & Human Settlement Function/Section No. of Approved Posts No. of employees Vacancies Office of the Municipal Manager 52 25 27 Economic and Spatial Planning 31 23 8 Housing 33 23 10 Infrastructure (Electrical) 178 79 99 Infrastructure (Engineering) 1160 395 765 Integrated Development Plan 2 11 -9 Source: Matjhabeng Local Municipality, Annual Report 2010 -2011.
