1 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL Area-based planning is an initiative that complements the IDP process by focusing and zooming in on communities. Communities in this sense are represented by settlements and wards. Because wards are often demarcated in a way that divides areas that in reality function as a unit, Swartland decided to adopt an approach that in the first place focuses on sensible geographical areas, simultaneously considering ward planning so that wards are not neglected. To achieve this, a number of wards are combined for each area plan. The following five planning areas were identified: . North: Moorreesburg, Koringberg and Ruststasie (Wards 1 and 2) . East: Riebeek West, Riebeek Kasteel and Ongegund (Wards 3 and 12) . West: Darling and Yzerfontein (Wards 5 and 6) . South: Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal (Wards 4 and 7)

. Central: Malmesbury (Wards 8, 9, 10 and 11 and small portions of wards 4, 7 and 12). As such, it is an approach that represents an effort to address integrated development planning at a sub-municipal level. There are therefore five planning areas; each with its own Area Plan document. Four of the five plans represent two wards each, while Malmesbury town represents four wards. The importance of the role of the wards and ward committees is addressed in the second section of each Area Plan. It also contains the community inputs and the results of the public meetings pertaining to those wards.

1.2 STRUCTURE OF DOCUMENT When presenting planning and community participation at local level, information is presented per town and per ward (as mentioned in the previous paragraph). This can be challenging as it interrupts the natural flow from analysis and community participation towards projects. To maintain clarity, however, everything that can be linked to a town was grouped in the town section, and everything linked to a ward approach, is presented in the ward section.

1.3 COMPILATION OF THE AREA PLANS The Municipality together with the ward committees commenced with the compilation of area plans covering all 12 wards. Meetings were held with all 12 ward committees to determine their issues and top ten priorities. The meetings were held on the following dates: 22 February 2018 – Ward 12 26 February 2018 – Wards 1, 2, 8 and 10 27 February 2018 – Wards 5, 6, 9 and 11 28 February 2018 – Ward 3 01 March 2018 – Wards 4 and 7 2 The role of the wards and ward committees is built into the process, as the second section of each area plan represents the ward committee members and the planning they have been involved with. During the meetings the persons present were given the opportunity to identify the main priorities of the relevant wards, in respect of the five IDP strategic goals. The priorities that were identified during the meetings were returned to the various ward committees by the end of March 2018 to verify the ten main priorities, as stated in the area plan. The area plan was finalized end of May 2018 and submitted to the council for approval.

1.4 THE IDP AND AREA PLANS The five area plans include the following: . an understanding of social diversity in the community, the assets, vulnerabilities and preferences of these different social groups; . an analysis of the services available to these groups, as well as the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing the community; . a consensus on priorities for the relevant wards; and . Identification of projects for the IDP. Area plans help to ensure that the IDP is more targeted and relevant to addressing the priorities of all groups, including the most vulnerable. Area plans provide ward committees with a systematic planning and implementation tool to perform their roles and responsibilities. They form the basis for dialogue between the Municipality and ward committees regarding the identification of priorities and budget requests and will also be used by ward committees for ongoing monitoring and evaluation throughout the year. Area plans are part and parcel of the IDP and contain information used in defining the Municipality’s long term strategy. The information is however on a detail level and not duplicated in the IDP.

4 3 TOWNS IN THE AREA

3.1 RIVERLANDS AND CHATSWORTH

(a) HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Riverlands During the early nineteenth century the Methodist Episcopolian Church purchased a farm named Micheal Heynskraal and established a town. Buyers from near and far obtained erven here. Services and infrastructure which were promised to buyers were never installed and lead to large scale of dissatisfaction. The “town: Riverlands (as it would have been named, although the registered name was Chatsworth) as a result of this, never developed. A portion of the area was purchased by the Department of Nature Conservation; Cape Provincial Administration from SA Transport Services, seeing that is was considered an ecological sensitive area. Riverlands Nature reserve was established on this area. Currently there are two towns approximately 3km’s from each other within the area known as Greater Chatsworth. The towns are known as Chatsworth and Riverlands, both areas are classified as settlements in terms of the Spatial Planning Category. Chatsworth Chatsworth originated around the existing church dating back to 1900 with a school that followed in 1906. The church and school are still the focus point of the town. Chatsworth was initially bought by a private developer who at a later stage sold erven to individuals. The majority if the erven in Chatsworth are privately owned. Riverlands originated in the early 1900’s around the DR Missionary Church and the school, on the land that was purchased by Spoornet. Riverlands’ name is suitable because the town is bisected by a water course which flows into the Swartriver. The town is reasonably isolated with limited services and a great need in terms of poor circumstances of living conditions, which can be attributed to a high population growth, unemployment and other poverty related circumstances.

(b) DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE Riverlands During the late 1900’s the railways obtained an area next to Chatsworth to build a school and church for the informal residents. Riverlands was formed to serve as a water service point for passing trains. Riverlands forms part of the West Coast Biosphere as proclaimed by UNESCO in 2000 to acclaim not only the inherent quality of the West Coast’s beauty, but also the local community approach to life. Chatsworth During the early 19th century, an American church obtained the form Michiel Heynskraal and subsequently a town was established on it. Buyers from all over purchased erven, but the services and infrastructure that were promised never realized. Subsequently the town was never officially established. The name was registered as Chatsworth although the community wanted to call it Riverlands. Preparations for the building of the Morris Brown Chapel started in 1890 on a portion of land that was donated by Mr Isak Arendse. The church formed a great pillar of support for the whole community of Chatsworth. In 1906, a school for grades 1-8 was started at the church.

3.2 KALBASKRAAL AND ABBOTSDALE

(a) HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Kalbaskraal Kalbaskraal was established in 1898 on the farm Spes Bona as a result of a railway crossing between Cape Town, Darling and Malmesbury. Kalbaskraal is a small village with an unstructured, rural appearance and a population of about 100 people. Abbotsdale Abbotsdale is located south-west of Malmesbury on the banks of the Diep River. This small residential rural town was developed on the farm Olyphantsfontein which was bought in 1865 by Bishop Gray for the purpose of erecting a mission for the Church of the Province of SA. The town owes its name to a certain Mr. Abbot who was affiliated to the omnibus of Cape Town. Currently there are more than 2000 inhabitants who find their employment mainly in Malmesbury, Atlantis and the Cape Metropole.

(b) DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE Since the reduction of rail transport, economic development has stagnated in the settlement, with consequent unemployment and poverty problems. The town has virtually no intrinsic economic base and very little growth potential on its own merit. Because of its location clos to Durbanville, it functions 6 as a residential/dormitory town for the Metropole rather that for the Swartland region. Many of the residents work in Cape Town or Atlantis and commute on a daily basis from Kalbaskraal. Because of its Metropolitan interaction the economic sector of the working residents, transport and market potential of the town performs very well, and puts Kalbaskraal in a “medium” development class, ranked 52nd (although the qualitative growth potential is perceived to be very low). Human needs levels are registered as “medium” (ranked 76th) indicating widespread poverty in the settlement and major social capital investment is recommended.

. Sewerage systems in Kalbaskraal is limited and should be expanded. Storm water

. No formal storm water drainage system, excluding low cost housing extensions. Water

. Reservoir capacity must be increased for new developments. . Secondary Chlorination at reservoirs. Streets

. Gravel roads needs to be upgraded. Electricity

• Eskom Area of supply

• Street lighting inadequate
