UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
This report presents the Capital Investment Framework of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. As this is the first attempt at preparing a Capital Investment Framework (CIF) this document also sets out the current understanding of the purpose of the CIF and the base information that informed the development of the CIF. With this as background the document then presents the 2018 Capital Investment Framework of the District.
1.2 BACKGROUND
The 2017 Terms of Reference for the compilation of a Capital Investment Framework, prepared by the uMgungundlovu District Municipality, states that:
In terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No. 32 of 2000 (MSA), municipalities are required to compile Spatial Development Frameworks (SDF) as a core component of integrated development plan. Further in the MSA Regulations S2 (4) (e) stipulates that, “a spatial development framework reflected in the municipal integrated development plan must set out a capital investment framework for the municipality’s development programmes”.
Accordingly, the Spatial Planning and Land Use se Management Act 16 of 2013 (SPLUMA) in terms of Section 21, which reads: “a municipal spatial development framework must determine a capital expenditure framework for the municipality’s development programmes, depicted spatially’’.
As per these legislative requirements, the proposed CIF stems from the basis above, and is informed by the outcomes of SDF that was completed by the District Municipality in 2014, including Local Municipal SDF’s.
Notwithstanding the requirements for a Capital Investment Framework (CIF) as reflected in the Spatial Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA), Act 32 of 2000 the CIF should also address the following (as per the Terms of Reference):
. Development of Capital Investment Framework for the study area in accordance with objectives; . Review, update and enhance where necessary the existing data about the District; . Identify and undertake assessment of critical components for CIF to achieve objectives of the project.; . Indicate the kinds capital investment that would be desirable in the area or in specific parts of the area; . Detailed implementation plan actions and estimated costings, encompassing timeframes and include roles and responsibilities; . Recommendations on institutional arrangements and collaborations; . Alignment of prioritisation of programmes and projects of municipalities, agencies and line departments; . Alignment with the District EMF with more focus on key focus areas (KFA); . Alignment with UMDM Technical Services Department current projects; and . Identity linkages for optimum utilisation of resources.

1.3 APPROACH
The District appointed a Service Provider to facilitate the process of compiling the CIF and the following steps were proposed for the preparation of the uMgungundlovu CIF:
. Step 1 – Inception . Step 2 – Collect and Assess all relevant information . Step 3 – Prepare comprehensive projects database . Step 4 – Develop project prioritisation criteria (per sector) . Step 5 – Prepare Draft Capital Investment Framework and engagement with Stakeholders . Step 6 – Prepare Final Capital Investment Framework
This document specifically responds to Step 5 and 6 of the process.

2 UNDERSTANDING CAPITAL INVESTMENT
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The terms of reference for the project provides an indication of the background, focus and requirements in preparing a Capital Investment Framework (CIF). This section reflects thereon, and based on a basic literature study, then also propose a definition of what can potentially be viewed as Capital Investment in the District context. An overview of guidelines for Capital Project planning as issued by National Treasury is provided.
2.2 DEFINING CAPITAL INVESTMENT
With the strong focus on Capital Investment it is necessary to ensure that all stakeholders agree on the focus of the Capital Investment Framework. It is proposed, that as a starting point, the definition proposed by Kaganova (2011), in a Guidebook on Capital Investment Planning for Local Governments (commissioned by the World Bank), should be considered. The definition reads as follows:
In the context of the public sector, and of LGs (Local Governments) in particular, capital investment is understood as investment in the acquisition or building of new assets; or major repair and replacement of existing assets that have an economic life longer than one year and a value above a specified threshold. Capital investment planning (CIP) by LGs includes (or should include) capital investment by the government itself and by its entities, including enterprises established and owned by the government for the provision of municipal services (utility companies). CIP also may include investment by the private sector through public-private partnerships (PPP).
2.3 NATIONAL TREASURY GUIDELINES ON CAPITAL PLANNING
The 2015 MTEF Capital Planning Guidelines of National Treasury provides project appraisal techniques and an indication of information required when project funding applications are submitted and is useful to consider in the future development of this Capital Investment Framework.
The guidelines indicate that:
. The type and depth of information required will depend on the size and the nature of the project. Resources spent on appraising capital project proposals should be proportional to the likely project cost, keeping in mind its nature and complexity.
. The appraisal activities may be outsourced, depending upon the capacity resident in an institution. Institutions must provide for project planning within their current MTEF budget baselines, including, as necessary, funding for outsourced capital project appraisals. Multiple small projects with the same outputs maybe grouped and motivated as a single infrastructure programme requiring funding.
FEBRUARY 2019 3
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
. All projects go through a series of distinct stages from the initial project idea to the time the project is completed and handed over. It is important for institutions to understand these project stages and the analysis to be carried out at each stage. These analyses are integral to a logical approach to project planning that will assist in the appraisal of the project. The analyses will also provide the rationale or justification for government funding for the project. A clear need must be articulated which is in the national interest to address.
In terms of the guidelines information requirements for capital projects include:
. An Options Analysis, including analysis of demand, technical engineering, environment, socio- economic and a legal and regulatory due diligence; . A Viability Evaluation including a financial and economic analysis; . Risk assessment and sensitivity analysis; . Preferred option; . Implementation readiness, including institutional capacity and procurement plan; and . Project Concept Note.
Further consideration of these guidelines by stakeholders in uMgungundlovu will contribute to developing a more sustainable capital project pipeline.

UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
3 FOUNDATIONS OF THE 2018 CIF
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Capital Investment Framework is not a new plan for the District Municipality. It draws on an understanding of the space economy and the current planning for the District. The foundation for the Capital Investment Framework is then provided by:
. A long term spatial and social economic development perspective that also informed the 2014 SDF; . Spatial economic development trends in the District; . The uMgungundlovu Spatial Development Framework (2014); and . Capital investment plans of stakeholders, including project concepts and plans for the longer term future.
3.2 TOWARDS 2050 - A LONG TERM SPATIAL VIEW
BACKGROUND
Spatial development frameworks often only focus on providing plans for a relatively short term (5 years). The uMgungundlovu Spatial Development Framework considered a 2050 view in terms of population and economic growth in order to ensure that short term targets (five years) should be established within the context of such long term estimates.
The 2050 view of uMgungundlovu presented below considers the implications of (1) population growth and dynamics and (2) economic growth and dynamics. The population and economic growth rates are based on three different scenarios and the most likely scenario is then expanded on and further discussed.
THE GROWTH SCENARIOS
Three scenarios for the future growth and development are proposed for uMgungundlovu, viz.
. A low growth scenario; . A medium growth scenario; and . A high growth scenario.
The three scenarios are described in more detail below. The implications of the various scenarios are then discussed in the sections that follow.
Scenario 1: Low Growth Scenario
In terms of this scenario population and economic growth rates achieved over the past 10 years continues well into the future. The population growth rate will be at 1% per annum and the economic growth rate at around 2% per annum.
FEBRUARY 2019 5
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
This scenario assumes that the current severe impact of HIV/AIDS on population growth will continue to be felt over the longer term. Due to subdued economic growth migration to the region will be limited although people will continue to trickle into the area from neighbouring poverty-stricken districts such as Harry Gwala and Umzinyathi.
The economy will show positive growth, as for the past 15 years, but growth will be well below the rates required to address developmental and poverty issues. New major industrial and property developments will be limited, and existing industries will stagnate.
Scenario 2: Medium Growth Scenario
In terms of the scenario the population and economic growth rates will be in excess of that achieved over the past 10 years. The population growth rate is anticipated to be 2%, whereas the economy will grow at a rate of 5%.
This scenario assumes that the HIV/AIDS pandemic has been curbed and that the negative impact thereof on population growth has been reduced. It is also assumed that, because of higher economic growth rates, the area has become a target for migrants from neighbouring largely rural District Municipalities and even provinces such as the Eastern Cape.
The economy is set to grow at rates as proposed in the National Development Plan for 2030 (i.e. at 5.4%). This assumes continued investment in capital development, expansion of production activity and the strengthening of all economic sectors.
Scenario 3: High Growth Scenario
In terms of this scenario the population and economic growth rates will be well in excess of that achieved over the past 10 years and will be amongst the highest in the country. The population growth rate is then expected to be 3% and the economy of the District will grow at 7% plus.
As for Scenario 2, this scenario assumes that the HIV/AIDS pandemic has been largely eradicated and the negative impact of the pandemic has been greatly reduced. Population growth is also stimulated by strong economic growth rates and particularly people migrating to the area from neighbouring districts and further afield.
The economy is growing at exceptionally high rates primarily as a result of major investments in infrastructure; specifically transport infrastructure, and resultant major investments in the industrial and agricultural sector. The District has become the investment destination of choice along the N3 Corridor.
The Most Likely Scenario
Considering specifically the growth prospects used as the basis for the 2012 National Development Plan it is suggested that the most likely 2050 scenario for the uMgungundlovu District, based on current information available, will be Scenario 2, the Medium Growth Scenario. The sections that follow further expand on the implications of this scenario.
FEBRUARY 2019 6
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
2050 POPULATION GROWTH AND IMPLICATIONS
These implications of the above three scenarios specifically in terms of population growth are considered in this section.
Overall population growth
Diagram below reflects on the total district population in 2011, 2030 and 2050 in terms of the three scenarios.
Starting off from the 2011 base of a population of 1.017 million (StatsSA 2011) the medium growth scenario would see the population growing by nearly 50% to 1.5 million people in 2030 and double to 2.2 million people in 2050. Should the 3% growth rate of the high growth scenario be applied it is evident that the population in the District will potentially double. Even in the case of the low growth scenario the population of the District will grow with 50% by the year 2050.
DIAGRAM 3.1: 2030 AND 2050 POPULATION GROWTH FOR THREE SCENARIOS
Rural-urban distribution of population growth
From a spatial planning perspective it is assumed that this population growth will not be uniform throughout the rural and urban areas of the District. Diagram 4.2 illustrates the possible implications for urban and rural growth in the District based on assumptions that:
. Population growth in dispersed rural settlement areas, where approximately a third of the current rural population reside, will be discouraged and will therefore be 0% over the long term; and . In the remaining rural areas population growth will continue at the current rate of 1%, i.e. the rural areas will not depopulate as is often suggested.
FEBRUARY 2019 7
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
DIAGRAM 3.2: SCENARIO 2 - RURAL AND URBAN POPULATION GROWTH
The implications of the above basic assumptions are that the urban areas will grow at a substantially higher rate, but that further growth and densification in the rural areas can also be expected. In terms of Scenario 2 the urban population of the District will reach nearly 1.8 million by 2050, i.e. increase by nearly 1.1 million people, whereas the rural population will grow by a further 100 000 people.
IMPLICATIONS FOR HOUSING
The medium growth scenario suggests, considering also a reduction in family size by 2050, that nearly 580 000 housing units will be required by 2050. The current housing stock also includes a large number of informal and traditional dwellings requiring upgrading.
The Diagram below reflects on the 2011 housing stock in the District and the preferred distribution of housing types in the District by 2050. This suggests an eradication of informal housing by 2050 and that 70% of the population is accommodated in houses (separated) of brick, 15% in higher density cluster type housing, 14% in blocks of flats and 1% in backyard rooms or flats.

UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
DIAGRAM 3.3: CURRENT AND PROPOSED 2050 DISTRIBUTION OF HOUSING TYPES
Considering the need for 389,950 housing units to be provided, including what can be viewed as the current backlogs (primarily informal and traditional housing), over the 40 year period, the table below reflects the overall number of units to be provided and breaks this down to the annual figure to be provided.
TABLE 3.1: ADDRESSING THE 2011 TO 2050 HOUSING NEED 2050 HOUSING TO BE HOUSING TYPE PER ANNUM NEED PROVIDED Informal dwelling (settlement) - - - Informal in back yard - - - Other - - - Room/flatlet on shared - - - Traditional dwelling - - - House/flat/room in back yard 5,798 1,183 30 Flat in block 81,171 69,322 1,733 Town/cluster/etc. house 86,968 77,409 1,985 House or brick structure (separate) 405,853 242,037 6,206 TOTAL 579,789 389,950 9,954
The table confirms that on average 10 000 units must be supplied per annum to address the anticipated 2050 housing need.

2050 ECONOMIC GROWTH AND IMPLICATIONS
The 2010 size and structure of the uMgungundlovu District economy, measured in terms of Gross Value Added, is reflected in the table below and compared with the size and the structure of the eThekwini and Provincial economies.
See Table below: A Comparative 2010 Economic Structure for uMgungundlovu (GVA in Rm)

The District makes an 11.7% contribution to the Provincial economy compared to the 53.3% contribution of the eThekwini economy. The current structure shows the dominance of the manufacturing, finance, government and transport sectors in the District economy and this closely mirrors the eThekwini and Provincial economies, with the government sector making a comparatively larger contribution in the District as can be expected with the Provincial Capital located in the District.
Table below reflects on the impact of economic growth rates on the growth of the economy over time.

Using the 2050 GVA contribution based on a 5% per annum growth rate between 2010 and 2050, and a number of assumptions as to the structure of the 2050 District economy, the table below reflects on the potential growth and contributions of the various economic sectors by 2050.
The above is important from a spatial planning perspective as it illustrates that, considering the anticipated growth rates, the manufacturing economy for instance will grow eight to ten times in size (based on current Rand values). This manufacturing sector development will have to be accommodated within the spatial framework of the District Municipality.

The growth of other sectors that has potential implications for spatial planning include the finance and government sectors with additional requirements for primarily well-located office space, the retail sector and transport sector each with unique space requirements and the importance of retaining high potential agricultural land to allow for growth in this sector. These space implications should be further considered.
3.3 SPATIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
BACKGROUND
Based on the spatial economic analysis conducted in 2013 the following observations and recommendations were considered in the 2014 review of uMgungundlovu District Municipality Spatial Development Framework.
LONG TERM FUTURE GROWTH
The growth scenario adopted by the District for future long term planning suggests an annual population growth rate of 2% and an economic growth rate of 5% (currently 1% and 2 % respectively). The implications of the growth scenario to be considered in future spatial development planning in the District are:
. A doubling of population over the next 40 years of population is anticipated over the next 20 years. This suggests, in simple terms that the current space available for residential development in the District
FEBRUARY 2019 11
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
should be doubled with the provision of 10 000 new housing units annually. The expansion of residential areas must therefore be planned for and in each urban area the spatial direction for expansion must be planned for. It is anticipated that the majority of this expansion will take place in the N3 Corridor, the area that also experienced higher than average population growth rates over the past decade.
. In order to accommodate the population it is estimated that 10 000 housing units per annum will have to be provided in the District. This will require the release of serviced land for 10 000 units per annum over the next 40 years.
. At an economic growth rate of 5% the requirement for space to accommodate specifically the manufacturing, logistics and commerce sectors will continue to place pressure on well-located land in specifically the N3 Corridor (potentially 8 times the current land area for industrial development may be required). Considering the transport capacity constraints on this corridor it is evident that alternative nodes, with the required access and bulk infrastructure, for the expansion of these sectors will have to be provided for.
DEVELOPMENT NODES
Pietermaritzburg / Ashburton / Edendale remain the most strategic economic development node in the District with potential for growth and expansion. This core is strengthened by the rapid development of the Howick / Hilton / Mphophomeni complex and the Camperdown / Cato Ridge area.
Other towns in the District (referred to as tertiary nodes) fulfil administrative and commercial roles in the local municipality context, viz. Mooi River / Bruntville, New Hanover / Wartburg and Richmond. It is noted that the character and focus of each of these towns differ significantly and this must be acknowledged in regional and local spatial planning.
It is recommended, based on the analysis, that the development of rural towns receives priority. A rural town would be a higher density urban development in rural areas located on Ingonyama Trust Land also offering a catchment of around 60 000 people easy access to commercial facilities, production opportunities and social services. Impendle town is already established and alternative areas to be considered for the establishment of rural towns are:
. KwaSwayimana in uMshwathi . KwaXimba (in eThekwini) or vicinity to serve parts of Mkhambathini (cross border cooperation) . Appelsbosch / Bamshela to serve west of Ndwedwe and eastern parts of uMshwathi . Vulindlela in Msunduzi . Vumakwenza or Embo Timuni TCs in Richmond / Mkhambathini . Ndaleni in Richmond
Tourism nodes are reflected in the 2007 SDF. The villages of Rosetta and Nottingham Road, which fall in separate municipalities but form one functional unit is primarily of a tourism nature, and this role needs to be consolidated and expanded.
More detailed planning of these nodes needs to be done as part of the local SDF’s.

UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS
Based on the definition of a corridor as presented in the 2013 Spatial Economic Analysis (StratPlan 2013) only the N3 corridor, specifically the corridor between Howick and Camperdown, can be described as a development corridor. Initially only the municipalities that forms part of the District core, viz. Mkhambathini, Msunduzi and Mngeni will be affected by the corridor, however, this will impact on all municipalities over the longer term.
Other regional corridors as identified should be reflected as being primarily movement corridors offering opportunities at specific locations / intersections. Based on the above it is recommended that the following be considered in the 2014 Spatial Development Framework:
. The Secondary Development Corridor: The 2014 SDF should introduce a discussion on the issue of the establishment of a Secondary Development Corridor running parallel to the N3 and the possible long term implications thereof for spatial development in the District. Through such a discussion the District should start providing guidance, both political and technical, to national and provincial initiatives relating to determining the alignment for a Development Corridor. Opportunities that may emerge from such a secondary corridor should be conceptualised and introduced in the spatial planning debate in the District. Based on an initial assessment it is suggested that a Secondary Development Corridor, specifically impacting on the Edendale / Vulindlela area, the Richmond Municipality and the Mkhambathini Municipality, should be promoted.
. The N3 Interchanges: The various interchanges on the N3 should be highlighted as areas where development pressure should be anticipated in the short to medium term and priorities for more detailed planning and spatial analysis should be identified. This should include the Hilton, Merrivale and Tweedie interchanges in uMngeni and the Camperdown and Lion Park interchanges in the Mkhambathini Municipality.
. The inland dry port: From a spatial planning perspective the uMgungundlovu District must prepare to receive the proposed inland dry port development (as an alternative to Cato Ridge). Historically various studies has been conducted regarding the location of such a dry port in Mpofana and Msunduzi. A decision must be taken as to the preferred location for a dry port in uMgungundlovu should Cato Ridge be found not to be the most appropriate.
The recommendations of the 2007 SDF relating to Tourism Link Routes are supported. The following are listed:
. Improving linkages between the Midlands Meander and other existing or potential tourist routes . Improving access to the Drakensberg . Improving accessibility to areas with high scenic and landscape quality and other attractions
The routes recommended for upgrading are aimed at achieving this.
FEBRUARY 2019 13
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
GENERAL LAND-USE
From the assessment of the current spatial economy it is evident that the core-periphery model is an important feature of the District. At present economic activity is concentrated in the core made up of primarily the Msunduzi and uMngeni Municipalities. Immediate pressure for the expansion of the core is felt in specifically the Mkhambathini Municipality.
The assessment of the current district spatial economy and the anticipated future development pressure in the District highlighted the following:
. Future non-agricultural development in the district should focus on defined nodes and corridors, and land bordering on these nodes and corridors. Remaining agricultural areas, not linked to defined nodes and corridors, should be protected since once land is transformed it is virtually impossible to return it to productive agricultural use (Isikhungusethu 2012); and
. Future spatial planning and developments in other sectors of the economy, e.g. manufacturing, agriculture, mining, transport etc., should be mindful of impacts on the well-established tourism sector and key tourism corridors should be accommodated in spatial planning (as has been promoted in the 2007 District SDF).
SYNOPSIS: SPATIAL ECONOMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
From a spatial economic development perspective the focus of the District family of municipalities over the next five years should be on:
. Ensuring an adequate supply of accessible serviced industrial land is available in the N3 Corridor, alternatively development will bypass the District;
. Anticipating the economic development impacts and opportunities of the Pietermaritzburg bypass and guiding provincial and national initiatives aimed at finalising the route alignment (developmental considerations rather than technical should be the basis for decision-making in this regard);
. Making provision for accommodating future population growth in well-located areas in proximity to current and future job opportunities; and
. Establishing rural towns in localities where between 40 000 and 60 000 people residing on Ingonyama Trust land can be served.

3.4 THE 2014 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
3.4.1 INTRODUCTION
The 2014 SDF of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality reviews and builds on the 2007 SDF.
Layering a series of components is at the core of developing the 2014 Spatial Development Framework. These layers or components were identified based on the spatial planning objectives as established in the previous sections of this report. The components of the 2014 SDF then include:
. Movement Systems; . Environmental Resource Base; . Agricultural Resource Base; . Nodal Development; . Corridor Development; . Infrastructure and Housing Development.
In the sections that follow each of the above components are unpacked and described in more detail. The overall Spatial Development Framework is then presented.
The 2007 SDF was built on the following concepts that provided the basic building blocks for the framework:
. Building on a system of access as investment and management lines; . Identifying non-negotiables and reflecting this in spatial plans; . Maintaining contact between different landscapes; . Ensuring access to a hierarchy of centres; and . Establishing a framework for growth and management.
(See 2007 Spatial Development Framework overleaf)
The 2014 uMgungundlovu SDF then represents the basis for the SDF and is attached as an Appendix 1 to this Capital Investment Framework. A diagrammatic representation of the SDF is presented overleaf.

3.5 THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLANS / PROJECTS
3.5.1 COLLECTING THE PROJECT INFORMATION
INFORMATION COLLECTION
The focus in Step 2 of the CIF initiative was on collecting as much information as possible relating to current and planned capital investment in the District. The main activity was to request information from Stakeholders and to this end the project team prepared three documents:
1) UMDM CIF Letter Request for Information: This email was addressed to stakeholders focused on giving an indication of the type of information required and the format of the information. A second letter was a more generic letter, providing some background on the CIF, placed on UMDM Letterhead and signed by the Municipal Manager. The second letter was attached to the email request for information. A further follow up email was also prepared and sent to stakeholders that did not respond to the first request.
2) UMDM CIF Stakeholders Database: Through combining a large number of databases and attendance registers (including info from the IDP Manager, COGTA and others) the Team compiled a comprehensive database of stakeholders. The Team then eliminated duplications in organisations and those not relevant. The database reflected organisations and also the individuals contacted in the first round of emails with a view to accessing information.
3) UMDM Capital Projects Database: This database reflected approximately 650 projects mainly extracted from the 2017 IDP of UMDM. Portions of the database were extracted and shared with stakeholders to provide an indication of what projects they currently have listed for the District. Stakeholders were requested to update and/or amend these lists. If not, the database was to provide a starting point to work from.
PROCESS FOLLOWED
Requests for project information were sent out just after the 18th of July. Stakeholders were given two weeks to submit information. Only a limited number of organization adhered to the deadline. Telephonic follow ups were made to remind them of the request.
The initial response was poor.
The Project Team then followed up, confirming with stakeholders that, should they not respond, only projects currently on the IDP project database will be included / considered in the CIF.
Over and above the written correspondence, stakeholders were also contacted telephonically confirm of receipt of request for information, follow-up on request for information and a second round follow-up for request for information.
By the end of the process, early September 2017, the following is the status of the responses from stakeholders:

RESSPONSE AND WAY FORWARD
From the above list it was clear that some gaps in terms of project information still exists. The Project Team was given the opportunity to try to fill these gaps throughout the project process.
The following was specifically noted on the data provided:
. Stakeholders provided substantial information on historic projects which was of little value to the process. . The type of information supplied varied greatly and had to be standardized when setting up the projects database in Step 3. . Relating to the above, accurately locating projects remained a major challenge for this initiative. Often the location was only referred to as the Municipality or a specific ward within the Municipality. . Where updated information was not received, currently available information from the IDP, will be reflected in the Project Database.
3.5.2 THE PROJECT INFORMATION
As discussed above, the comprehensive projects database, compiled through interaction with all stakeholder over a 4-month period, did not necessarily reflect the visionary and catalytic projects to be included in the Capital Investment Framework of the District. The assumption, when setting out on the process of compiling the CIF, was that if we can put substantial effort on collecting project information from stakeholders, we will have a strong base from which to develop the CIF. This assumption was incorrect.
Major challenges identified in working with the comprehensive database included:
. Stakeholders "dumped" existing project lists on us - this resulted in us having to spend substantially more time editing the database . Extent of information provided was inconsistent and major gaps in terms of project information . Importantly, projects included in listings was generally not forward looking in nature . Projects data was (1) not complete, (2) conflicting, and is some cases (3) not clear . Project data was dominated by certain sectors, including roads, education, health and water
The project data initially collected is summarised in the Table below. A comprehensive Excel spreadsheet reflecting the individual projects is available on request.

Following a December 2017 meeting of the Project Team the following focuses for the Service Provider were decided on with regard to the CIF projects database:
. Closer focus on catalytic / strategic projects . More time to be spent on 'cleaning up' the database . Remove all historic projects (pre-2017) . Revisit what the purpose of the CIF and align database
FEBRUARY 2019 21
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
In order to address the challenges with the information received further research was undertaken. There was a specific focus on the identification of future / strategic / catalytic projects from a number of sources.
The sources of information relating to strategic / catalytic projects included:
. Integrated Development Plans of all Municipalities (generally 2017/18 IDPs); . Integrated Development Plan for uMgungundlovu District Municipality, 2017/18 to 2021/22; . uMgungundlovu District Growth and Development Plan (dated October 2014); . uMgungundlovu District Spatial Development Framework (dated June 2014); . KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Growth and Development Plan Catalytic Projects (KZN Provincial Planning Commission, PGDP Catalytic Project list as at end Quarter 1, 2017-2018); . Formulation of Provincial Spatial Economic Development Strategy (PSEDS) Corridor and Nodal Framework and Data Mapping – uMgungundlovu District Municipality (KZN Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, 2017); . Provincial Spatial Economic Development Strategy, uMgungundlovu Chapter (2017);
The projects extracted from these sources were then integrated with future projects as listed in the comprehensive database and a new project database was established. Duplications were eliminated and the project entries with the most complete information was retained. This revised project database represents the basic project listing for the Capital Investment Framework.

UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
4 THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section presents the current Capital Investment Framework of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. It represents a first step in aligning capital investment in the District with the Spatial Development Framework of the District. It is to be noted that the current Capital Investment Framework does not exclude major capital investment plans not fully aligned with the Spatial Development Framework. The projects is rather assessed and prioritised in terms of its alignment with the Spatial Development Framework.
This section details the Capital Investment Framework in terms of:
. Presenting the focus of the Capital Investment Framework; . Discussing information including in the Capital Investment Projects Database; . Highlighting the preliminary criteria applied in assessing projects; . Providing and overview / summary of the Capital Investment Projects included in the Capital Investment Framework; . Providing a listing of Capital Investment Projects included in the Projects Database, with basic information included; and . Commenting on the Capital Investment Framework presented and specifically alignment with the objectives as set out in Spatial Development Framework.
4.2 FOCUS OF THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
Based on engagements with stakeholders, informed also by the project terms of reference, it was agreed that the Capital Investment Framework of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality should:
. Supports the policy of achieving spatial equity through spatial transformation; . Be future focused, acknowledging backlogs to be addressed, but also being pro-active in facilitating and managing future growth ; . Aim to implement the District SDF, focusing on integration and appropriate allocation of resources; . Include primarily projects of a strategic longer term nature (i.e. it does not present a comprehensive district project list); and . Apply a set of prioritisation criteria, including criteria identified through national and provincial processes, but adjusted for district / local purposes.
At a workshop with key stakeholders held on 14 June 2018, specifically aimed at obtaining guidance on the content and format of the Spatial Development Framework the workshop concluded that:
The Capital Investment Framework should be focused on supporting the policy objectives of obtaining spatial equity through spatial transformation. It (the Capital Investment Framework) is viewed as the longer term implementation plan for the SDF focusing on integration and the appropriate allocation of resources.
FEBRUARY 2019 23
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
It was further agreed that the Capital Investment Framework will include projects of a strategic (potentially longer term) nature and then that it will not present a comprehensive projects list. The inclusion of OPEX (operational expenditure) projects was discussed and it was agreed that larger initiatives impacting on the value of the capital investment . It was suggested that projects smaller in magnitude should not be removed, but that they should be tagged.
It was noted in the meeting that various initiatives are underway aimed at establishing standard project information requirements and that where possible project information in Capital Investment project databases should be aligned to these.
4.3 THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROJECT DATABASE
The Capital Investment Project Database of the uMgungundlovu District is at the core of the Capital Investment Framework. It reflects both (1) already identified and planned projects to be implemented in the short to medium term, and (2) project concepts developed for achieving implementation of the Spatial Development Framework, focusing specifically on working towards achieving spatial equity and sustainability.
The data fields for the comprehensive projects database was based on the inputs received from the departments and agencies involved in programme and project management initiatives in KwaZulu-Natal. These fields were standardised for projects identified (for which data have been collected) and the uMgungundlovu Capital Investment Framework projects database then reflects the datafields common to most project databases in the province.
The Capital Investment Framework project database include as a basis the following data fields:
. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION . Database Number . Official Ref No . Project Name . Municipality
. CATEGORISATION OF PROJECT . 2014 SDF Component . Investment Category . Sector (e.g. Water, Health Etc) . Catalytic Projects (PGDP Definition Applied) . Assessment
. RESPONSIBILITIES . Competency . Project Description . Implementer . Funding . Source of Project Info . Project Owner (Person) . Tel / Email (Project Owner)
FEBRUARY 2019 24
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
. PROGRAMME AND BUDGET . Implementation Date (Fin Year) . Completion Date (Fin Year) . Estimated / Approved Budget (Amount) . Cumulated Year Total . Budget 2017/18 . Budget 2018/19 . Budget 2019/20 . Budget 2020/21 . Budget 2021/22
. LOCATION . Municipality . Description (Ward or Area) . GPS Coordinates
For the purpose of this document only those fields in bold will be reflected in project tables in the main report. Other data will be reflected in detailed project data sheets attached as an Annexure (available on request).
4.4 CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROJECT PRIORITISATION CRITERIA
Various approaches to the prioritisation of capital investment projects exist. The Office of the Premier in KwaZulu-Natal indicated that the province focus on 4 pillars for the evaluation of projects, viz.
. Citizen Impact, i.e. Social Economic Impact . Provincial Priority Areas (Spatial) . Alignment to sector level plans . Government Programme alignment (with budget)
In discussions it was also noted that the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy and the District Growth and Development Plans were important for ensuring alignment. The life cycle phase of a project is also viewed as an important measure for the prioritisation of projects.
The Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS) categorized and defined Catalytic Projects as per the graphic below.
FEBRUARY 2019 25
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
DIAGRAM 4.1: CATALYTIC PROJECTS AS DEFINED IN THE PGDS
Source: KZN Provincial Planning Commission, 2017
With the above as background assessment criteria was applied in the prioritisation of Capital Investment projects (if a project responded fully to the criteria 5 weighting points would have been allocated, if no relevance the project will be allocated nil points).
The assessment criteria included:
. Provincial Catalytic: Where projects have been recognised on a provincial level as being of a catalytic nature this is acknowledged. Projects falling within focus areas supported in provincial strategic planning will also be recognised. . Relate to SDF: Projects relating directly to the strategic direction taken in the 2014 Spatial Development Framework of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality would have been allocated the related weighting points. . Project Value: Projects with a higher capital value were viewed as a higher priority and this was allocated as such. Different project value categories were used in the allocation of points. . Regional Impact: A project with a significant regional, as opposed to local, impact was assigned a higher priority. . Job Creation: Job creation at this stage was related to capital value of the project. Thus, projects with a high capital value were prioritised. . Timeframe: Projects that can be initiated in the short term were prioritised. . Progress: Projects under implementation or in advanced stages of planning were prioritised and allocated the maximum weighting points. . Funding: Priority was allocated in terms of the Capital Investment Framework to projects where funding have already been secured or where funding is available.
FEBRUARY 2019 26
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
The nine criteria were allocated an equal weighting in the projects database and projects allocated a score out of 45.
In discussions with stakeholders it was suggested that current assessment criteria as reflected on Capital Investment Framework database is a good starting point. It must, however, be acknowledged that this is a starting point for the development of a more nuanced project prioritisation system. An efficient prioritisation will require a more careful weighting of criteria, as well as higher level of detail and accuracy in terms of project information.
4.5 OVERVIEW OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROJECTS
4.5.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Capital Investment projects database for 2018 reflects a total of 254 projects in the seven municipalities of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. The table below provides an overview of projects per 2014 SDF component in each of the Municipalities.
TABLE 4.1: CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROJECTS PER SDF COMPONENT AND MUNICIPALITY

The distribution of projects in the various municipalities is as could be expected, with Msunduzi having the largest number, followed by uMngeni. In this regard it must be noted that these are also the two municipalities that have been most active in making information available.
The distribution of projects per SDF component reflects substantial emphasis on Infrastructure and Housing Development. This can be attributed to specifically the major capital water and sanitation infrastructure projects of the District, and the inclusion of all listed Department of Human Settlements projects in the database. It is to be noted that the large number of road maintenance and upgrading projects have not been included in the database at this stage. Neither has the various school building / upgrading / extension projects been added. Then, although Corridor Development and the Environmental Resource Base is viewed as key components of the 2014 SDF limited projects relating to these components have been included.

UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
The table below reflects the competency for the implementation of the various projects. It is noted that local, district and provincial stakeholders share responsibility for the implementation of capital projects.

The alignment of the projects to the various components of the 2014 SDF is commented in the sections following and specific actions to improve future alignment are proposed.
FEBRUARY 2019 28
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
4.5.2 AGRICULTURAL RESOURCE BASE
Current intensification of land reform and land redistribution places high priority on this component of the uMgungundlovu SDF. The 2014 uMgungundlovu SDF stresses the importance of protecting high value agricultural land and promotes specifically the concept of clearly defining urban and settlement edges to achieve this. It then also calls for the intensification of agricultural activities:
. In areas with higher agricultural potential; . In Ingonyama Trust land areas (where appropriate); . In the vicinity of settled Ingonyama Trust land providing emerging farmers with access to higher potential agricultural land; . In proximity to towns and villages encouraging also a focus of producing for local markets.
The majority of the projects related to this component currently reflected in the Capital Investment Framework relates to the various programmes of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform. At present these initiatives are not necessarily strategically located in relation to the SDF and in this regard future project identification should then consider the guidance of the SDF.
4.5.3 CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT
The 2014 SDF promotes the development of a number of Corridors in the District including:
. N3 Corridor, specifically at the various interchanges; . An alternative development corridor with the re-alignment of the N3 though Edendale (this option is not currently considered and the alternative alignment to the north of Pietermaritzburg seems likely to be supported); . Tourism Corridors; . Maloti-Drakensberg Corridor including the Corridor Route, Trail Zone Edge and Corridor Zones;
Despite the considerable emphasis on Corridor Development in the District there appears to be limited projects that will currently promote the development of these corridors. More detailed planning assessments, or a consolidation of current planning, is required in order to identify clearly defined capital investment projects to be included in the Framework. A number of projects listed specifically under ‘Nodal Development’ also relate, and will contribute, to the strengthening of corridors.
4.5.4 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE BASE
The environmental resource base of the District is viewed as not only an important structuring element, but is also viewed as a priority area for capital investment. The environmental resource base consists of five components (overlaps between components exist), viz.
. Macro Ecological Corridors . Micro Ecological Corridors . Protected Areas . Protected Areas Expansion . Environmental Management Areas . Water Quality Environmental Control Zones
FEBRUARY 2019 29
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
Despite the importance attached to this component of the SDF few capital investment projects directly contributing to protecting and extending the environmental resource base have been packaged and funded in the District. A focused effort is required to ensure that such initiatives will in future be included in the capital investment framework.
4.5.5 INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
A basic starting point of the 2014 SDF is an acceptance that the focus should not only be on the development of new infrastructure, but that there should be a balance between the maintenance of the existing and the development of new infrastructure and housing. The current projects as listed in the database clearly achieves this balance.
At present the projects contributing to developing this component is located across the District and does not necessarily comply with the SDF recommendations of focusing on areas where “high levels of poverty coincide with economic opportunities”. The review of the Capital Investment Framework will continue to address this with considering then a stronger focus on the following areas:
. All new development nodes along the N3 Corridor . Mphophomeni Corridor (Umngeni) . Vulindlela (Msunduzi) . Camperdown (Mkhambathini) . Bruntville (Mpofana) . Ndaleni (Richmond)
4.5.6 MOVEMENT SYSTEM
The 2014 SDF confirms the current movement system of the District and allocate priority to certain routes. The ongoing maintenance of these key routes remain critical. The SDF also identifies specific routes improving access to primarily rural areas. The various priorities in terms of roads are reflected in the capital projects list. Further alignment between the activities of the Department of Transport in terms of road maintenance and construction and Local Government should, however, be high on the agenda. This alignment is key to transforming and strengthening the spatial structure of the District.
4.5.7 NODAL DEVELOPMENT
The 2014 SDF has a strong focus on developing a hierarchy of nodes and then specifically defines the following types of nodes:
. City: The institutional, social and economic sphere of influence of a city stretches across the whole District and beyond. The city consists of multiple residential, employment and service nodes. A strong diversified economic base exists (sometimes primary, but always secondary and tertiary sector activity).
. Town: The sphere of influence of a town includes either the full municipality or an area home to a large portion of the population of that municipality. A town would usually include a number of residential neighbourhoods as well as a clearly defined central business area. An economic base
FEBRUARY 2019 30
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
exists or there is the possibility of developing an economic base, possibly with a high reliance on one or more sectors (primary, secondary and/or tertiary sector activity).
. Service Centre: Generally there will only be limited tertiary sector activities serving a limited catchment, however, the potential exists for Service Centres, with a population catchment of between 30 000 and 70 000 people to in future become a town (see definition above). A service centre will always have some residential development attached, but will not have an established economic base.
. Service Point: A service point provides a concentration of services, potentially both public and private sector, but not necessarily with housing densification or formal housing development in proximity.
. Settlement: A grouping of residential structures generally at low densities.
A large number of projects that will in future contribute to the strengthening of this nodal structure have been identified. Substantial work is, however, still required to ensure a focus on the spatial priorities as identified in the 2014 SDF. The focus on the establishment of ‘new’ towns, service centres and service points must be high on the development agenda.
4.6 CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROJECT DATABASE
A summary list of the projects as reflected in the more detailed Capital Investment Framework projects database is presented below sorted by SDF Component, Investment Category and Sector.

5 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
5.1 BACKGROUND
The challenges, from an institutional perspective, in compiling and maintaining the Capital Investment Framework is documented in previous sections of this report and in earlier phase reports for this initiative. The key challenges moving forward with the preparation, maintenance and implementation of a Capital Investment Framework can be summarised as follows:
. Municipal strategic planning still does not serve the purpose it is intended for, viz. to direct and coordinate implementation by all stakeholders on a local level; . Various forms of municipal strategic planning and specifically their interrelationship is not well understood or acknowledged by stakeholders; . Considering the above it is then no surprise that capital investment planning by stakeholders is not adequately informed by municipal strategic planning; and . At present no systems or mechanisms exists for the preparation, maintenance and implementation of the Capital Investment Framework.
5.2 PURPOSE OF THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
The Capital Investment Framework is intended to confirm how local government and other stakeholders will implement the objectives and guidelines of the Spatial Development Framework through targeted capital investment. The Spatial Development Framework forms an integral part of the Integrated Development Plan. The Capital Investment Framework therefore is an integral part of both the Integrated Development Plan and the Spatial Development Framework.
It must, however, be considered that the IDP and SDF of the Municipality are both longer term strategic plans. The Capital Investment Framework, however, is a shorter term plan guiding and reporting on capital investment on an ongoing basis.
At present no mechanisms exist within the uMgungundlovu District Municipality to prepare, maintain and implement the Capital Investment Framework.
5.3 RELATED INITIATIVES
At present each municipality, department or agency manages its own project identification, management and information system. Initiatives are, however, currently underway on a Provincial level aimed at establishing a standard project management system. It is understood that the Office of the Premier is taking the lead in this. Future links with a standard project management system may resolve many of the challenges encountered in collecting project specific information.
However, standardized project management systems will not address the need for all stakeholders to contribute actively in the implementation of the District and Local Municipality SDFs.

5.4 PREPARING FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLANNING
The IDP and the SDF of any Municipality should be at the core of all capital investment planning in a specific area. For this purpose a forum must be established in the District that will ensure all stakeholders with a focus on Capital Investment:
. understands and buy into the Municipal SDF and IDP (where necessary insuring the alignment of strategies on a national, provincial and local level); . identifies projects in line with the strategic direction adopted by the SDF and IDP; . provide detailed capital investment project recommendations to the Municipality (in this case the District); and . actively participates in the prioritization and alignment of capital projects on an annual basis.
In order for the above to be achieved it will be necessary for the following to be established:
. A forum on the District level with representatives from all departments / agencies involved in capital investment planning; . A series of structured engagements, both group and one-on-one sessions to consider and finalise inputs into the capital investment framework; and . A system for collecting / updating information relating to capital investment on an annual basis.

6 WAY FORWARD AND LESSONS LEARNT
This report represents a first attempt at establishing a Capital Investment Framework for the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. Various challenges to putting this Framework in place have been identified and are to be addressed.
A key recommendation then emanating from this process, as noted in the previous section, will be for the following to be established on a District Level:
. A forum on the District level with representatives from all departments / agencies involved in capital investment planning; . A series of structured engagements, both group and one-on-one sessions to consider and finalise inputs into the capital investment framework; and . A system for collecting / updating information relating to capital investment on an annual basis.
The review and update of the Capital Investment must then be done on an annual basis through engagement with all relevant stakeholders.

MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
The National and Regional Road System provide the basic movement structure in the District and must be maintained and upgraded in line with anticipated capacity requirements. The current higher order District movement system includes:
. N3 - Mooi River to Camperdown; . R103 – Mooi River to Howick; . R103 – Msunduzi to Camperdown; . R56 and R33 – Eastern Cape to Richmond to Msunduzi to Greytown; . R622 – Mooi River to Greytown; . R614 – Albert Fall to Wartburg to eThekwini North Coast; . R617 – Howick to Boston to Underberg; . P7-2 – Msunduzi to Boston to Underberg; . R603 – Camperdown to Umbumbulu.
MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
FEBRUARY 2019 67
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
All of the above linkages are important either national or provincial/regional linkages, but also serve as the movement system for people and goods in the District.
It is recommended that a number of District level roads currently providing access to large rural communities should also be classified as part of the higher order District movement system, and therefore maintained and upgraded in line with anticipated capacity requirements, including:
. The access road to KwaSwayimana (uMshwathi); and . The access roads to the Vumakwenza or Embo Timuni (Richmond and Mkhambathini).
The railway line stretching through the District, and the Pietermaritzburg Airport in Msunduzi Municipality, form integral parts of the regional movement system. These are centrally located in the District and can serve the District as a whole.
environmental resource base
The environmental resource base of the District is viewed as the second structuring element in developing the District SDF. The environmental resource base consists of five components (overlaps between components exist), viz.
. Macro Ecological Corridors . Micro Ecological Corridors . Protected Areas . Protected Areas Expansion . Environmental Management Areas . Water Quality Environmental Control Zones
Each of these is discussed below.
FEBRUARY 2019 68
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE BASE
Macro Ecological Corridors
The SEA (uMgungundlovu 2012) indicates that SANBI’s National Spatial Biodiversity Assessment (NSBA) has delineated a number of macro ecological corridors throughout the country which, Provincially Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife have refined into 17. The following macro ecological corridors form part of the uMgungundlovu District:
. The Tugela North Corridor bisects a portion of the northern part of the UMDM; . Further south, extending east west from Blinkwater, Karkloof, Nottingham Road to Karkloof is the Tugela Corridor; . The Midlands Corridor more-or-less follows the southern boundary of the UMDM; and . The Berg Corridor forms a large portion of the UMDM in the west.
FEBRUARY 2019 69
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
These corridors relate to regional connectivity to ensure the persistence of ecosystem processes. A number of ecological principles formed the basis of the area selection process (uMgungundlovu 2012):
. Corridors located along major climatic and upland-lowland gradients, including east–west and north- south corridors, were selected in order to cater for potential impacts of climate change on the biota of the region. . The principle of connectivity within and between vegetation types was a key principle in the selection of vegetation Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs). . Large areas were selected in preference to small areas on account of the impact of fragmentation.
Micro Ecological Corridors
The SEA (uMgungundlovu 2012) notes that the Biodiversity Sector Plan for UMDM (GroundTruth, 2011a as in uMgungundlovu 2012) delineates micro ecological corridors at a local process and connectivity level through expert input. Based on these two micro-ecological corridors have been proposed in the UMDM:
. A link between the Tugela and Tugela North Corridor terminating in the south at the Karkloof Nature Reserve and Mbona Private and Mount Gilboa Nature Reserves. . A large micro-ecological corridor that links Kamberg in the west, via uMngeni Vlei Nature Reserve, Boston View Biodiversity Agreement, the south of Midmar Nature Reserve (priority wetland), Hilton College Nature Reserve, follows the uMngeni River to terminate at the Eastern Valley Bushveld protected area expansion area.
Protected Areas
Protected areas are areas of land that are, according to the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act (Act 57 of 2003), protected by law and as a result these areas are managed for the conservation of biodiversity. The protected areas include several categories, namely: special nature reserves, nature reserves and protected environments; world heritage sites; specially protected forest areas, forest nature reserves and forest wilderness areas declared in terms of the National Forests Act (Act 84 of 1998); and mountain catchment areas declared in terms of the Mountain Catchment Areas Act (Act 63 of 1970) (uMgungundlovu 2012).
It is important to differentiate protected areas from general conservation areas, which are areas of land not formally protected by law but informally protected by the current owners and users and managed at least partly for biodiversity conservation (Government of South Africa, 2010) (see uMgungundlovu 2012 for a more detailed discussion).
The uMgungundlovu District contains a number of formally protected areas and other conservation areas. Most notable is the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site (UDP WHS), an area with international recognition supporting important biodiversity and ecosystems assets. Through this recognition, the UDP WHS has become listed as a Ramsar site1, thereby supporting wetlands of international importance (uMgungundlovu 2012).
1 The Convention on Wetlands, held in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971, is an intergovernmental treaty which provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources (www.ramsar.org).
FEBRUARY 2019 70
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
Formally protected areas are to be reflected in the 2014 SDF.
Protected Areas Expansion
According to EKZNW (Clinton Carbutt, pers comm. as in uMgungundlovu 2012), UMDM does have opportunities for protected area expansion. Most of the project area expansion areas are the upland grasslands in the foothills of the Drakensberg, particularly around Umgeni Vlei Nature Reserve; Fort Nottingham Nature Reserve; Kamberg management unit of UDP WHS; Karkloof Nature Reserve; and other scattered patches in the KZN Midlands not linked to any protected areas, including the areas in the Eastern Valley Bushveld between Camperdown and the uMngeni River. These areas are to be reflected in the 2014 SDF.
Environmental management areas
In order to give spatial expression to the Sustainability Framework, Environmental Control Zones (ECZs) have been developed for the SEA (uMgungundlovu 2012). ECZs provide spatial direction at District level of areas within which development options are recommended, restricted or prohibited. The ECZs are based primarily on the EKZNW Land Use Management Guidelines and include the following conservation categories:
. Protected areas; . Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs); . Terrestrial Ecological Support Areas (ESAs); . Aquatic Ecological Support Area; . Other natural; and . Modified / degraded.
The implications of the ECZs for future spatial development is discussed in more detail in the section on land use management guidelines.
Water Quality Environmental Control Zones
The uMgungundlovu District Municipality SEA (2012) identifies Water Quality Environmental Control Zones. These zones include strategic water resource assets are located within the District, which if not protected, will risk the assured supply of potable water to not only the District but also the entire primary economic region of KwaZulu-Natal. The Water Quality Environmental Control Zone is delineated as a 100m buffer on either side of the main stem rivers and a 1 kilometre buffer all around up stream of the dam wall for dams (uMgungundlovu 2013: 52).
The SEA indicates that “… it must be noted that activities in the water quality control zones are severely constrained in respect to their potential to impact on water quality and therefore the following are also relevant and must be adhered to by planners”:
. Only activities that can demonstrate how they would not further compromise water quality and that would result in positive impacts on water quality should be undertaken. . All activities must make use of advanced effluent management and treatment systems within this ECZ.
FEBRUARY 2019 71
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
. If a development is proposed within this ECZ, studies must be undertaken to delineate the occurrence of wetlands and to assess the functionality of any wetland areas on the site or in close proximity to the site, as is the requirement outside of this ECZ at the discretion of the relevant authorities. . Site specific development buffers around delineated wetlands and watercourses, in excess of general standards, should be established within which development should not be allowed to encroach. . Development should not encroach within 100 metres of the full supply level of the main water supply dams or within the 100 year flood line (whichever is larger), unless exceptional circumstances permit.
It is suggested that for the Water Quality Control Zones, specifically linked to dams, Resource Management Plans (RMPs) must be prepared. It is noted that Department of Water Affairs and Umgeni Water has already initiated the development of the RMPs for dams under their jurisdiction. Umgeni Water reported as follows on the progress made to date with the preparation of RMPs (status as in April 2014):
. Midmar Dam – draft RMP out for public comment. . Craigieburn Dam – draft RMP out for public comment. . Spring Grove Dam – draft completed but not released for comment. . Nagle Dam – Umgeni Water initiated process to prepare RMP. . Albert Falls Dam – status not confirmed. . Mearns Weir – status not confirmed. . Henley Dam – Umgeni Water initiated process to prepare RMP.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCE BASE
The 2007 SDF of the District acknowledges the high potential of agricultural land in the District and the importance thereof for longer-term sustainable development. The 2007 SDF indicates that at a local level, more detailed agricultural assessments must be done to determine the location of high potential land, and appropriate control measures should form part of local SDF’s and LUMS (uMgungundlovu SDF 2007).
Building further on this the 2014 SDF proposes that agricultural land, or land with the potential for agriculture, should be protected. It is suggested that the various methods to determine agricultural potential of land on a regional and even local level is not conclusive and that the potential of land can be impacted on through the introduction of water and / or the use of modern farming practices, viz. tunnel farming. The recommendation of this SDF is then in support of the SEA indicating “that future non- agricultural development in the district should focus on defined nodes and corridors and that remaining agricultural areas should be protected ‘at all costs’ since once land is transformed it is virtually impossible to return it to productive agricultural use” (uMgungundlovu 2012).
The establishment of urban edges for each city, town and village in the District is thus supported. The alignment of urban edges is to be reviewed every five years, considering anticipated urban growth and the agricultural potential of land.
Further to this, the intensification of use of agricultural land in certain areas should be promoted through local level planning. This should include the intensification of agricultural activities:
. In areas with higher agricultural potential; . In Ingonyama Trust land areas (where appropriate);
FEBRUARY 2019 72
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
. In the vicinity of settled Ingonyama Trust land providing emerging farmers with access to higher potential agricultural land; . In proximity to towns and villages encouraging also a focus of producing for local markets.
Future agricultural development planning, specifically in Ingonyama Trust areas, should consider the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform study that focused on the “Spatial Identification and Audit of Actively Farmed and Fallow Communal Land in the Traditional Areas of KwaZulu-Natal and the Municipality of Umzimkhulu”.

NODAL DEVELOPMENT
For the purpose of this SDF nodes are referred to as Cities, Towns, Service Centres, and Service Points. The different nodes are defined as follows:
City: The institutional, social and economic sphere of influence of a city stretches across the whole District and beyond. The city consists of multiple residential, employment and service nodes. A strong diversified economic base exists (sometimes primary, but always secondary and tertiary sector activity).
Town: The sphere of influence of a town includes either the full municipality or an area home to a large portion of the population of that municipality. A town would usually include a number of residential neighbourhoods as well as a clearly defined central business area. An economic base exists or there is the possibility of developing an economic base, possibly with a high reliance on one or more sectors (primary, secondary and/or tertiary sector activity).
Service Centre: Generally there will only be limited tertiary sector activities serving a limited catchment, however, the potential exists for Service Centres, with a population catchment of between 30 000 and 70 000 people to in future become a town (see definition above). A service centre will always have some residential development attached, but will not have an established economic base.
Service Point: A service point provides a concentration of services, potentially both public and private sector, but not necessarily with housing densification or formal housing development in proximity.
Settlement: A grouping of residential structures generally at low densities.
FEBRUARY 2019 74
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
NODAL DEVELOPMENT
Considering the spatial development objectives and the above classification of nodes the 2014 SDF propose the following existing nodes to be recognized and also identifies new nodes to be developed:
The City
Pietermaritzburg / Ashburton / Edendale (Msunduzi Municipality) remain the most strategic economic development node in the District with potential for growth and expansion.
FEBRUARY 2019 75
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
The Towns
. Edendale: Edendale has for most of its existence been a dormitory township only offering some regional services in terms of health and education. Industrial development occurred on the periphery, but had limited impact on establishing a sustainable economic base. Over the past 5 years there has for the first time been substantial investment in the retail sector and this presents a basis for Edendale to not only be viewed as a dormitory township, but presents the opportunity for it to develop into a fully-fledged town with a stable economic base. . Howick / Hilton and Camperdown: The City core is strengthened by the fast developing Howick / Hilton complex and the Camperdown / Cato Ridge area. These towns are expected to grow and form an integral part of the urban core. . Mphophomeni: In the long term it is envisaged that Mphophomeni will merge with Howick / Hilton. In the short term Mphophomeni is, however, classified as a town and, as is the case with Edendale, the area presents the opportunity into a fully-fledged town with a stable economic base. . Mooi River / Bruntville and Richmond: Both towns have well-developed urban infrastructure and an established economic base (although this have been eroded over the past two decades). Both the nodes fulfill administrative and commercial functions in the local municipality context, viz. Mooi River / Bruntville, and Richmond. It is noted that the character and focus of each of these towns differ significantly and this must be acknowledged in regional and local spatial planning. . New Hanover: New Hanover is recognized as the Municipal Service Centre for the uMshwati Municipality. The future development of New Hanover to become as defined in previous sections will be dependent on significant investment by both the private and public sectors. Its location on a major regional transport link in relative close proximity to the urban core suggests that it may in future develop an economic base and it is thus categorized as an emerging town. . Impendle: Impendle also serves as a Municipal Service Centre and is thus categorized as a town. However, the town has a limited catchment population and the potential for establishing an economic base is limited. The status of Impendle as a town is thus to be reviewed in the short to medium term. . Other New Towns: It is recommended, based on the analysis, that the development of rural towns receives priority. A rural town would be a higher density urban development in rural areas located on Ingonyama Trust Land also offering a catchment of between 30 000 and 70 000 people easy access to commercial facilities, production opportunities and social services. Possible areas to be considered for the establishment of New Towns are nodes currently classified as Service Centres, including:
. Vulindlela in Msunduzi . KwaSwayimana in uMshwathi . Opokweni / KwaXimba area (in eThekwini) or vicinity to serve parts of Mkhambathini (cross border cooperation) . Appelsbosch / Bamshela to serve west of Ndwedwe and eastern parts of uMshwathi
Tourism Centres
. Nottingham Road / Rosetta: The area is already the established base of the Midlands Meander tourism route and should be further developed with this in mind. . Other tourism centres may emerge over time linked to attractions such as the Mkhomazi River Valley, Baynesfield, Albert Falls Dam, Midmar Dam, Thala Game Reserve, Mkhambathini Gamer Reserve and others.
FEBRUARY 2019 76
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
Service Centres
Vulindlela: Although forming an extension of the City and Edendale the area is underdeveloped and it is suggested that allocating this to be established Service Centre New Town status will further support the spatial transformation of the City.
Wartburg, Dalton / Cool Air and Eston: These Service Centres have formal housing and some retail and service centre activities. The populations of these urban areas are, however, small and if traditional areas in the municipality are adequately catered for in terms of development it is not anticipated that there will be much opportunity for growth.
Ndaleni, KwaSwayimani, Opokweni, Appelsbosch: These potential nodes (some existing activity already concentrated in some) all have a substantial catchment area and opportunities for establishing vibrant service and economic nodes in these areas should be considered. The exact location for nodes must be confirmed through appropriate catchment assessments.
More detailed planning of for Service Centres should be done as part of the local SDF’s.
Service points
Service points are to be established in:
. Vumakwenza in Richmond . Tilongo / Ngilanyoni / Ezimwini area in Mkhambathini . Inadi, Masihambisane and Ntanzi in uMshwathi . Other dense rural settlements: Mpolweni, Hopewell, Rietvallei, Ntokazana, Lidgeton, Compensation
CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT
N3 Corridor
The development of the N3 Corridor is now recognized as a national priority. The development of this corridor should be appropriately guided by District level spatial planning. Although there will always be a strong focus on economic development in the N3 Corridor the overall objective will be on establishing sustainable and integrated development areas accommodating a range of land uses including industrial, commercial and residential development, as well as both active and passive open space.
Over the next two decades the pressure for development will be centered on the various interchanges on the N3. The following interchanges are specifically expected to experience development pressures:
. Camperdown . Umlaas Road . Lion Park . Ashburton . Mkondeni
FEBRUARY 2019 77
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
. New England Road . Hilton . Cedara . Merrivale (on R56 . Tweedie (Howick North – approved sites, but constraints) . Mooi River
The nodes that will develop or continue to develop around these intersections will in all likelihood be mixed use development nodes with uses ranging from eco-tourism to industry. The uses to be accommodated at each of these will be established through local level planning guided by Municipal Spatial Development Frameworks. Future spatial planning should consider:
. themes for the development of each of the interchanges; . prioritise interventions around these interchanges, specifically with a view to making serviced land available for development; . complementing mixed use developments with higher density residential developments to create thresholds for services and improve access to job opportunities; and . guidelines of SANRAL regarding developments in proximity to intersections.
The following are “rural Interchanges” where no high intensity development is anticipated with the focus continuing to be on agriculture and tourism:
. Curries Post, . Balgowan, . Nottingham Road, . Hidcote (other side of Mooi River) . The following interchanges offer no or limited opportunities due to specific development constraints and/or existing levels of development:
. Chota Motala . Peter Brown . Midmar
FEBRUARY 2019 78
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT
Alternative Development Corridor
The 2014 SDF of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality introduces the concept of establishing a Secondary Development Corridor running parallel to the N3. As a first step the alignment of such a corridor must be considered through a detailed technical assessment and support obtained for the future development thereof. At present it is suggested that a Secondary Development Corridor, specifically impacting on the Edendale / Vulindlela area, the Richmond Municipality and the Mkhambathini Municipality, should be promoted. Opportunities that may emerge from such a secondary corridor should be conceptualised and introduced into the spatial planning debate in the District. The planning for the alternative development corridor must feed into national and provincial initiatives, specifically the SIP2 initiative.
FEBRUARY 2019 79
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
Tourism Corridors
One of the main objectives of the Tourist Strategy is to promote the District as a single brand, and to spread the successful development of the Midlands Meander to other areas with tourism potential. From a spatial development point of view, this can be achieved by (uMgungundlovu 2007):
. Improving linkages between the Midlands Meander and other existing or potential tourist routes . Improving access to the Drakensberg . Improving accessibility to areas with high scenic and landscape quality and other attractions
Diagram above identifies key tourism routes in the District to be maintained and promoted with a view to facilitating the movement of tourist through the District and enhancing the experience.
Maloti-Drakensberg Corridor
The Maloti-Drakensberg Corridor Framework Plan is nearing completion and the recommendations from this study should be reflected in the District and Local Municipality spatial frameworks. This Plan will potentially impact on spatial planning in the Mpofana, Umngeni and Impendle Municipalities.
The plan has a number of components to be considered:
Corridor Route: The corridor route is intended to provide an alternative access to the Maloti Drakensberg removed from the environmentally sensitive heritage park. The Corridor Route includes a more direct link between Nottingham Road and Impendle and then from Impendle onwards. Access from the corridor route to the Heritage Park will then be obtained through a series of routes linking directly off the corridor into or closer to the heritage park.
Trail Zone Edge: This edge provides an indication of where a potential trekking trail stretching the length of the Heritage Park, meandering into and out of the park can be located. The idea is that the trail will be linked to economic development opportunities for local people along the way.
Corridor Zones: The Framework Plan makes provision for four corridor zones. The Zones are: (1) No-go (Protected areas, stewardship areas, ecological corridors and a 2 kilometre Maloti-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site (MDPWHS) buffer), (2) Tread Lightly (High biodiversity areas), (3) Tread lightly (High value agricultural areas) and (4) Precautionary areas (generally settled areas where precautions should be taken if any further development is to occur).
INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Guided by the previous components the SDF then provides strategic spatial guidance in terms of the future allocation of resources in terms of infrastructure and housing development.
A basic starting point is acceptance that the focus should not only be on the development of new infrastructure, but that there should be a balance between the maintenance of the existing and the development of new infrastructure and housing.
FEBRUARY 2019 80
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT CAPITAL INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
In terms of maintenance of the existing infrastructure, programmes should be in place to ensure that all existing infrastructure is maintained to deliver the standard of service initially intended. From a spatial planning perspective areas should only be prioritized where inability to repair or maintain infrastructure will potentially lead to the loss of life or severe discomfort for the users of the infrastructure, e.g. ensuring access to running water in cholera invested areas.
Within the context of the nodal and corridor guidelines as presented in earlier sections the expansion of infrastructure and new housing should be located in areas where high levels of poverty coincide with economic opportunities. Based on this some of the focus areas for infrastructure and housing in the District are:
. All new development nodes along the N3 Corridor . Mphophomeni Corridor (uMngeni) . Vulindlela (Msunduzi) . Camperdown (Mkhambathini) . Bruntville (Mpofana) . Ndaleni (Richmond)
