The Spatial Development Framework Is Threefold:  the SDF Should Spatially Reflect the Development Visions Contained in the IDP POLOKWANE MUNICIPAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2010 Municipal Spatial Development Framework should also give effect to the relevant CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION sections of the Land Use Bill 2006 (6a - d). The inclusion of this information is a prerequisite for the adoption of a municipalities land use management scheme. In 1. INTRODUCTION terms of section 26(e) of the Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000, the SDF will become a statutory plan when approved by Council). The SDF is an integral part of the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of the Polokwane Municipality. The SDF is a tool that manages and guides growth and Polokwane Municipality has the provincial growth point which functions as a first development in the Municipal area. The guidelines provided in the SDF should guide order settlement. However, the geographical area of Polokwane Municipality is and inform investors about development opportunities in the short- medium and predominantly rural including considerable land under traditional authority. longer term.

The compilation of a Spatial Development Framework (SDF) is a requirement as set out in terms of Section 2(4) of the Local Government: Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations 2001 (Government Notice R796). 1 POLOKWANE MUNICIPAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2010 1.3 SDF OBJECTIVES The purpose of the spatial development framework is threefold: The SDF should spatially reflect the development visions contained in the IDP. The SDF should reflect prioritized IDP projected needs and It should integrate sector strategies, whenever available. The SDF should provide the spatial incidence for all sectoral, economic as well as community development programs. As such, the SDF will not only deal with land uses per se, but will deal with critical issues in an integrated manner. It is therefore important that the SDF not only deal with where what should happen, but also with the how, and to provide guidelines for prioritization within a specific timeframe that informs the IDP. 2 POLOKWANE MUNICIPAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2010 Regulation 2(4) of the said regulations stipulates that a Spatial Development CHAPTER 2: INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS Framework reflected in a municipality’s integrated development plan must inter alia: 2.1 INTRODUCTION Give effect to the principles contained in Chapter 1 of the Development Facilitation Act, 1995 (Act No. 67 of 1995); During the compilation of the SDF it was important to align the local municipal Set out objectives that reflect the desired spatial form of the municipality; spatial initiative with development thinking on a national and provincial level and to Contain strategies and policies regarding the manner in which to achieve the ensure that the SDF addresses the needs that were identified as part of the objectives referred to above which must indicate – Integrated Development Planning Process. o desired patterns of land use; 2.2 LOCAL GOVERNMENT MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS ACT 32 OF 2000 o spatial reconstruction; and o strategic guidance i.r.o. location and nature of development; The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act no. 32 of 2000) provides in Chapter 5 thereof that a municipality must undertake integrated development Set out basic guidelines for the land use management system; planning and for this purpose Section 25 of the act (supra) stipulates that each Be aligned with the spatial development frameworks reflected in the municipal council must adopt an Integrated Development Plan (IDP). integrated development plans of neighbouring municipalities; Provide a visual representation of the desired spatial form which Section 26 on its turn makes provision for the core components of which the IDP representation – must consist of, which inter alia for purposes of this document are the following o Must indicate where public and private land development and namely: infrastructure investment should take place; o Must indicate desired or undesired utilization of space in particular - Subsection (a): Vision for long term development; areas; - Subsection (c): Development priorities and objectives; o May delineate the urban edge; - Subsection (d): Development strategies must be aligned with national of o Must identify areas where strategic intervention is required; and provincial sectoral plans and planning requirements; and o Must indicate areas where priority spending is required. - Subsection (e): Spatial Development Framework. The detail contained in the Spatial Development Framework is further set out in the Local Government: Municipal Planning and Performance Regulations, 2001 (Regulation No. R 792 of 24 August 2001). 3 POLOKWANE MUNICIPAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2010 2.3 NATIONAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE (NSDP,2006) Principle 2: Government has a constitutional obligation to provide basic services to all citizens wherever they reside. The NSDP (2006) guidelines proceed from the premises that the reconstruction Principle 3: Government spending on fixed investment should be focused on and development of South African society should include the reconfiguration of localities of economic growth and/or economic activities and to create long- apartheid spatial relations.

Its eastern boundary is the watershed between the Sand River and its tributaries and the eastward draining Letaba and Pafuri Rivers. Its northern boundary is formed by Formations of the Soutpansberg Group that built the mountain range of that name. The western boundary consists from north to south firstly of Waterberg Group sedimentary rocks, followed by mafic Bushveld rocks and lastly by strata of the Wolkberg Group including the Black Reef Formation. These strata build the Highlands Mountains and the east- northeasterly trending Strydpoort Mountains that form the southern boundary.
