Dube TradePort Company Association incorporated under section 21 of the Companies Act Annual Performance Plan 2009/10 1 Foreword One of the most significant economic development infrastructure initiatives of the KwaZulu-Natal province is the Dube TradePort, which comprises an international airport, a Cargo Terminal, a TradeZone, an AgriZone, an IT Platform and associated property developments in the Support Zone. The key objective of the Dube TradePort is to establish a globally competitive integrated export platform to serve aviation linked economic sectors and to serve as a catalyst for sustainable job creation and private sector investment over the next 60 years. The Dube TradePort flagship project of the province of KwaZulu-Natal, aligned to the national priorities of social and economic infrastructure and speeding up growth and transforming the economy, has made substantial progress over the last financial year. On the construction front more than 50% of the project has been completed and more than 3 500 people are currently employed on the site. What has been particularly impressive is that the contractor was able to bring the construction time back into the March 2010 deadline after 75 days were lost. A little over R3 billion has been spent during the 2008/9 financial year from the combined contributions of the DTP and our partners in the Airports Company of South Africa. The Minister of Environmental affairs also issued his decision with respect to all the appeals lodged in the EIA process. No appellants litigated the Minister’s decision which clearly reflected the thoroughness and rigour in the EIA process. All the EIA obligations were programmed in the course of the year and in the next financial year these obligations will be implemented. Draft legislation to convert the DTP TradePort Section 21 Company into a public entity was also developed, approved by provincial cabinet and tabled with the Provincial Legislature. The Portfolio Committee on Finance and Economic Development also held public consultations with respect to the Dube TradePort Corporation Bill. In the new financial year the Bill will be further debated and we expect it to be approved by the Legislature. Good progress has also been made with respect to the competitive issues facing the Dube TradePort. Emirates have been convinced to provide an international air service from Durban to Dubai starting in October 2009. This is particularly pleasing as it indicates the confidence the airline has in our local market to grow their business. We have also made good progress with Tongaat Hulett Property Developments and the eThekwini Municipality with respect to the broader land use allocations within a 30 km radius around the La Mercy site. This ensures that there will be proper planning and land use management to avoid the mistakes made in the past of locating residential uses in noise zones impacting negatively on the quality of life of our people. 2 As MEC of Economic Development and Tourism and on behalf of the Government of KwaZulu-Natal, I fully endorse the Dube TradePort strategy, programmes and targets as contained in this Annual Performance Plan and have no doubt that they reflect our policies, strategies and goals which are realistic, appropriate and deliverable. Mr Michael Mabuyakhulu MEC for Economic Development & Tourism KwaZulu-Natal Province 3 Table of contents 1 Overview
