The leaders are convinced that the organisation is premised on the belief that change is inevitable, a change that is aimed at improving life and making the municipality accessible. It is for this reason that during the process of developing this Integrated Development Plan, there was a compelling need to claim our position of being the city of firsts. This has led to the birth of the new vision “Towards a leading and modern city”. This vision will in turn fulfil our mandate which is informed by the following key strategic objectives: - Spatial Transformation - Inclusive Growth - Service Provision - Governance As the Council, we are mindful of the economic conditions and the impact these have on our people, the triple challenge of poverty, unemployment and inequality remain in our communities. Many families rely on government grants to put food on the table and this can only be reversed through creation of job opportunities for youth, women and the young professionals. We will be working hand- in-hand with organised youth and women forums in our locality, partner with them in furthering our ambitious programme of delivery for the next five years. Time has come that we radically transform the economy through various means and ways of empowerment. In our endeavour to keep to our promise, excellent governance will inform decision making and performance. We want the public to actively participate in the business of the municipality throughout the term of this IDP. Get involved, be informed and know the IDP. It is our duty to continuously engage and be engaged through various structures including the IDP Representative Forum duly established. This city has a potential to grow, and we are determined to grow as the demand rises. With the university located in the Central Business District, new lifestyle, new market and new demand has been created. We will push back the frontiers to accommodate growth in all material respects, work with business and other stakeholders in ensuring that administrative red-tape is minimized. We want to grow the city, develop its people and provide services to all. This IDP 2017/2018 to 2021/2022 has been developed after having taken into account the inputs of management and the public in general. It is aimed at addressing the needs of the people, which in the forefront is security of land tenure and access to basic services. Our commitment as the duly elected representatives of the people is to ensure that service delivery priorities are implemented efficiently, effectively and economically. We are indeed moving towards a leading and a modern city. Sol Plaatje – We Serve. 5 Executive Summary The Sol Plaatje Municipality houses 20% of the population of the province thereby making it the largest urban formation in the Northern Cape. The fourth democratic Local Government Election in August 2016 led to 65 Councillors being elected to serve in the Sol Plaatje Municipality. Local Government is the sphere closest to the people. This means that local government can play a special role to facilitate a better future. The vision set out for the Sol Plaatje Municipality to work towards a leading and modern city was announced by the Executive Mayor in August 2016 post elections. The strategic path to be forged is presented in this IDP. It is a programme to unlock the value of land to create economic opportunities and liveable human settlements with the foundation of quality and reliable infrastructure to deliver access to basic services. Sol Plaatje is a pilot for the “new deal” - the Integrated Urban Development Framework, this is a unique opportunity for the municipality and the residents of Sol Plaatje. In the course of making the “Back to Basics” programme of local government a reality, a new vision “Towards a leading and modern city” is presented in this IDP. The Future is a new deal wherein all stakeholders will work towards developing a: Clean city City that attracts investment, manufacturers and tourists City with good infrastructure Safe and secure City - A city that cares City where there is security- jobs, shelter City that facilitates the creation of jobs City that houses people City with youth involved productively City that harnesses integrated development City that facilitates skills development City that invests in public participation, is connected with the people City that works together City with good IGR harnessed to build integrated human settlements The goal is to lead the city towards modernisation. To achieve this, the following strategic objectives will guide the city towards the future: Spatial Transformation: To transform the spatial structure of the City towards an equitable, inclusive, efficient and compact form consisting of a series of integrated and well connected economic corridors, nodes and attractive mixed-use/mixed-income sustainable human settlements of varying densities Inclusive Growth: To establish a competitive economic position that attracts diverse investments, increases economic growth and creates targeted number of jobs. 6 Service Provision: To plan for, install, maintain and operate infrastructure, and provide services more efficiently and on a sustainable basis that adequately supports: o transformed spatial structure o economic growth objectives o universal access to basic services, o differentiated service requirements of households and human settlements and economic activity Governance: To enhance the capacity of the state and its citizens to work together to achieve spatial and social integration. To lead, direct and manage spatial growth of the City robustly, enhance revenue generation and improve operational efficiency. The municipality has taken steps over the past years to rebuild and stabilise the internal processes of delivery and build financial sustainability. And now is therefore well positioned to exploit its full potential to: Reverse inefficient land use patterns Tackle the aging infrastructure of the city Deal with the results of the relatively stagnant economic landscape in a systematic way Although the current needs are not fully funded, it is envisaged that a momentum on delivery will be developed to attract funding and additional investments to reach the goal and strategic objectives set out. The focus is on developing thriving township economies and integrating the various organic urban nodes and economic corridors to make the appropriate linkages between urban and rural settlements. Once this strategic spatial vision is planned, implementation will follow through the development of urban management mechanisms and precinct developments. At present land locked spaces and sprawling
