Performance Management The Performance Management System implemented at the Municipality is intended to provide a comprehensive, step by step planning system that helps the Municipality to manage the process of performance planning and measurement effectively.

Economic Dimension be developmental and innovative in conducting 4. Institutional Dimension its business. 5. Gender Equity 6. HIV/AIDS 7. Poverty Alleviation 8. Youth Development 9. Urban and Rural Development

The municipality must pronounce and clearly define its role in addressing some of the cross cutting dimensions. The Mayor‟s office is currently dealing with some of this issue like Gender and youth but unfortunately they are not mainstreamed.

Some sectors requirements like the Municipal Disaster Management and Spatial Development Framework are legislative requirements and must

be adhered to and complied with.

It would have been ideal if the revision or writing up of sector plans coincided with the IDP process. It could have been ideal as well if municipalities had readily available resources to produce most of these sector plan because at the moment it is costly to produce and reproduce sector plans. Without provincial or district intervention it will be

difficult for municipalities especially Bitou Municipality to produce these sector plans.

The municipality will engage the community leadership structure to agree Figure 2.17 Gaatjie Informal Settlement with the implementation of priorities. The settlement is well located and enjoys access to a clinic, socio-economic amenities and educational facilities. The community experiences a range of social problems linked to drug and alcohol-related violence, petty crime and gangsterism. There is no police station located inside the settlement. The municipality should engage the Sout African Police Service to provide a mobile police station and fix street lights as a form of passive surveillance to improve the community’s safety. The municipality should also facilitate social programmes from various state departments and social organisations to raise awareness around drug and alcohol use and abuse.

Kranshoek is a residential township located west of WATER SUPPLY the town of Plettenberg Bay in the Bitou Municipal The 150mm diameter uPVC pipeline and pump Area. The Bitou Municipality water treatment works station needs to be upgraded to accommodate a (WTW), on the western side of Plettenberg Bay, new 355mm diameter rising main and a 145 L/s supplies potable water to the Brakkloof reservoir. pump station pumping to a 5ML reservoir. From the Following which, the water is pumped via an existing 5ML reservoir water will need to be pumped by 150mm unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) means of a 92 L/s pump station and 315mm pipeline to the Kranshoek area. Currently, there is a diameter rising main to an 8ML reservoir. From the 8 limited supply of water to the Kranshoek community ML reservoir, water will gravitate through a 400mm and the broader area. Therefore, it is proposed that diameter pipeline to the Kranshoek reservoir and the existing bulk water supply to Kranshoek and water tower and the residential and industrial surrounds be augmented to ensure sufficient water sectors. Additional bulk link pipelines will need to be supply for the future expected growth of the area. connected to the main items explained above to The proposed project will necessitate the services the required sectors.
