    CHAPTER 03: REGIONAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Introduction: The Spatial Development Framework (SDF) is a key legislative mechanism that seeks to address the numerous developmental challenges of the District. A number of these challenges considered and interpreted by the SDF include: • Integrating the urban spatial form municipality created under apartheid to separate townships from economic areas; • Addressing the services backlogs for the poorest of the poor and the market-related residential development property boom; • Providing an effective and affordable district-wide public transportation network that takes into account the reliance of the low-income communities on public transport (at a greater relative monthly cost) and conversely, the dependence of middle income communities on private modes; • Balancing and facilitating market and public sector development in an effective and co-ordinated manner; optimising the use of existing resources; • Determining and communicating reasonable and effective development policies and strategies; • Investing in infrastructure in a cost-effective and proactive fashion whilst ensuring that historical backlogs are addressed. The purpose of the SDF is not to infringe upon land rights but to guide future land uses. No proposals in this plan creates any land use right or exempt anyone from his or her obligation in terms of any other act controlling land uses. The maps should be used as a schematic representation of the desired spatial form to be achieved by the in the long term. The Gauteng Spatial

The Klip River, its tributaries and associated wetlands have been described as one of the most heavily impacted rivers in the country being subject to every type of conceivable pollution. These included mining, urban, industrial as well as agricultural impacts. In addition to an influence on water quality there is an impact on the water level, flow regime and stream morphology of the River. Despite this, the Klip River system must still provide the necessary ecological infrastructure to satisfy basic human needs and maintain ecological processes and then also serve the other user groups, i.e.
