Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022
Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022 THIRD AMENDMENT 28 MAY 2020 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2017-2022 Compiled in terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) Amendments approved by the Municipal Council on 28 May 2020 The Integrated Development Plan is the Municipality’s principal five year strategic plan that deals with the most critical development needs of the municipal area (external focus) as well as the most critical governance needs of the organisation (internal focus). The Integrated Development Plan – is adopted by the council within one year after a municipal election and remains in force for the council’s elected term (a period of five years); is drafted and reviewed annually in consultation with the local community as well as interested organs of state and other role players; guides and informs all planning and development, and all decisions with regard to planning, management and development; forms the framework and basis for the municipality’s medium term expenditure framework, annual budgets and performance management system; and seeks to promote integration by balancing the economic, ecological and social pillars of sustainability without compromising the institutional capacity required in the implementation, and by coordinating actions across sectors and spheres of government. AREA PLANS FOR 2020/2021 The five area plans, i.e. Swartland North (Moorreesburg and Koringberg), Swartland East (Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel), Swartland West (Darling and Yzerfontein), Swartland South (Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal) and Swartland Central (Malmesbury) help to ensure that the IDP is more targeted and relevant to addressing the priorities of all groups, including the most vulnerable. -

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage. -

(Western Cape High Court, Cape Town) Case No
Republic of South Africa IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA (WESTERN CAPE HIGH COURT, CAPE TOWN) CASE NO: 26078/2010 Before: The Hon. Mr Justice Binns-Ward In the matter between: BERG RIVER MUNICIPALITY Applicant and JACOBUS JOHANNES LIEBENBERG N.O. AND 86 OTHER PARTIES Respondents JUDGMENT DELIVERED: 25 AUGUST 2011 ______________________________________________________________ BINNS-WARD J: [1] The applicant, which is a municipality established in terms of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act 117 of 1998 (‘the Structures Act’), has applied for eight declaratory orders. If granted, the declarators sought would be to the effect that the ‘rural levies’ imposed by it in respect of properties in its area in the 2001/2 and 2002/3 financial years were lawfully and validly imposed, as were the rates levied by it on rural property within its area in the 2003/4, 2004/5, 2005/6, 2006/7, 2007/8 and 2008/9 financial years. (In terms of the applicable statutory provisions, a municipality’s financial year has, during the entire period concerned, run between 2 1 July in each year and 30 June of the succeeding year.1) The orders are sought because it has been contended by the respondents, who make up a significant number of the owners of rural property within the municipal area, that the aforementioned imposts are invalid. [2] The respondents have declined to make payment of the assessed rural levies and rates and have defended enforcement proceedings instituted against them by the municipality in various magistrates’ courts in the municipal area. Both sides in the disputes have agreed that the current proceedings might afford a convenient means of cutting the Gordian knot; in particular, because they are also agreed that a determination of the alleged invalidity of the imposts is a matter beyond the jurisdiction of a magistrate’s court. -

Desktop Assessment
PALAEONTOLOGICAL SPECIALIST STUDY: DESKTOP ASSESSMENT Proposed Maskam limestone mine near Vanrhynsdorp, Matzikama Municipality, Western Cape Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cape Lime (Pty) Ltd, Vredendal, is proposing to develop a high grade limestone mine on the Remainder of the farm Welverdiend 511, some 8 km SSW of Vanrhynsdorp in the Matsikama Municipality, Western Cape Province. No processing plant will be located on site and all excavated limestone material will be transported to the applicant’s existing plant at their Vredendal site some 12 km away. The study area is largely mantled by a range of Late Caenozoic superficial deposits (wind-blown sands, soils, alluvium) that are up to 2m thick and all of low palaeontological sensitivity. The underlying Late Precambrian bedrocks of the Gifberg Group, notably the carbonate target rocks of the Widouw Formation, are metamorphosed, recrysallised and highly deformed, and hence unlikely to contain any fossils. The overall impact significance of the proposed mining development is inferred to be LOW because most of the study area is mantled by superficial sediments of low palaeontological sensitivity and the Precambrian bedrocks are almost certainly unfossiliferous. No further specialist studies or mitigation regarding fossil heritage are considered necessary for this project. Should substantial fossil remains (e.g. vertebrate teeth, bones, petrified wood, stromatolites, shells, trace fossils) be exposed during mining, however, the ECO should safeguard these, preferably in situ, and alert Heritage Western Cape as soon as possible so that appropriate action (e.g. -
