THE PROPOSED SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 72 9.1 BULTFONTEIN/PHAHAMENG 72 9.2 HOOPSTAD/TIKWANA 73 Tswelopele Local Municipality Spatial Development Framework 2016/2017 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 WHAT IS THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK? The spatial management of growth in urban and rural environments due to rapid urbanisation rates and the subsequent impact on resources was previously done through the Guide Plans and Structure plans. These took the form of rather inflexible master plans which were underpinned by the principles of discrimination and separate development. The new democratic government, post 1994, adopted a new system of spatial planning described in principle in the Development Facilitation Act and Municipal Systems Act. This new system had two components to it. The first was an indicative plan or Spatial Development Framework (SDF) that was intended to show desired patterns of land use, directions for future growth, indicate the alignment of Urban Edges, and depict other special development areas. The impact of SDFs is limited to providing policy to guide and informing land development and management. They do not change or confer real rights on land. The second component is the Land Use Management System (LUMS). This is similar to a town planning or zoning scheme. In many instances where they haven’t been replaced or repealed these still take the place of LUMS. In contrast to SDF’s LUMS have a binding effect on the development rights attributed to land and confer real rights on properties. Because development in Municipalities is dynamic and responds to changing socio-economic and environmental circumstances, it is impossible to predict the exact requirements of development rights in every instance, therefore, LUMS may be amended from time to time to take into account these changing circumstances. This is normally achieved through the processing of rezonings, subdivisions and removal of title deed restrictions applications. It is in these instances where SDF’s play an important role in guiding appropriate future change and helping to guide motivations as to the need and desirability, or not, of proposed land use changes. Within the limitations of a SDF as laid down by the Local Government Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) i.e. that it should be a guiding and informing document and does not confer real rights on land, it is intended that the SDF should be a binding document endorsed by the Municipal Council. Without this endorsement it will be difficult for the recommendations to have any meaningful impact on future development patterns. Department of Co-operative Gover4nance and Traditional Affairs 1 Tswelopele Local Municipality Spatial Development Framework 2016/2017 1.2 PURPOSE OF THE SDF The main purpose of the SDF is to guide the form and location of future physical development within a municipal area in order to address the imbalances of the past. The urban environments of South Africa are characterized by unsustainable urban forms, which have been shaped by Apartheid planning that was integrally linked to blueprint or “master” planning. Government realized that these inequalities needed to be addressed and adopted a new system of spatial planning. The new system requires every municipality to have an indicative plan (SDF) showing desired patterns of land use, directions of growth, may delineate urban edges, indicate special development areas and conservation-worthy areas as well as a scheme (Land Use Management System) recording the land use and development rights and restrictions applicable to each erf in the municipality. The former has a legal effect of guiding and informing land development and management and the latter has a binding effect on land development and management. 1.3 LINK BETWEEN THE SDF AND THE IDP The Spatial Development Framework is not an isolated document that guides development within a Munipality however it is aligned with the Integrated Development Plan and the Budget of a munipality. The integrated development plan phases its projects and dynamics of Municipal planning and compliance on an annual basis whereby the Spatial Development Framework is 5year spatial planning that guides and the planning, growth and development therefore the Spatial Development framework becomes the spatial vision and representation of the Integrated Development Framework. Tswelopele Local Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan is also aligned with relevant sector plan / frameworkds that deals holistically with the development and infrastructure pattern that are linked with the annual budget as well as development project of the Municipality. It is crucial that the the Integrated Development Plan and the Spatial Development Framework be aligned not only with the development of the Municipality but also with the strategic document of the district, Provincial and National government in order to impact meaningfully on future and planned development patterns.

The Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (MSTA) assigns and divides powersand functions to and between district and local municipalities.Section 83(3) of the MSTA requires that district municipalities “… must seek to achieve integrated, sustainable and equitable social and economic development of its area …” by ensuring integrated development planning for the entire district.Section 84(1) of the MSTA assigns powers and functions to district municipalities thatinclude, inter alia: Integrated development planning for the district municipality as a whole, including a framework for integrated development plans for the local municipalities within the area of the district municipality, taking into account the integrated development plans of those local municipalities; Bulk supply of water, sewerage, electricity and solid waste disposal; Municipal roads that form an integral part of a road transport system for the area of the district municipality as a whole; The establishment, conduct and control of cemeteries and crematoria serving the district as a whole; Promotion of local tourism for the area of the district municipality; The aforementioned powers and the exercise of such powers by the District Municipality, have an impact on the spatial development pattern of the district municipal area as a whole, as well as the spatial development pattern of local municipal areas within the district municipal area.

Summary $what is a biodiversity plan This report contains the technical information that details the rationale and methods followed to produce the first terrestrial biodiversity plan for the Free State Province. Because of low confidence in the aquatic data that were available at the time of developing the plan, the aquatic component is not included herein and will be released as a separate report. The biodiversity plan was developed with cognisance of the requirements for the determination of bioregions and the preparation and publication of bioregional plans (DEAT, 2009). To this extent the two main products of this process are: • A map indicating the different terrestrial categories (Protected, Critical Biodiversity Areas, Ecological Support Areas, Other and Degraded) • Land-use guidelines for the above mentioned categories This plan represents the first attempt at collating all terrestrial biodiversity and ecological data into a single system from which it can be interrogated and assessed.

  • Provincial Overview
    Cultural Guiding Free State Course 1 Module # 1 – Component # 1 Provincial Overview Introduction The Free State is known as South Africa's ‘breadbasket’ or ‘granary of the country’ and more than 30,000 farms produces over 70% of the country's grain. The province also boasts, among others productive gold and diamond mines, majestic sandstone mountains and archaeological and paleontological treasures. To the local rugby supporter this is ‘Cheetah country’! The landscape is characterised by the grassy plains of South Africa’s interior plateau. This is South Africa’s geographical heart, caught up between the Vaal and Orange Rivers. It is landlocked by KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, North West, the Eastern Cape and Northern Cape. The neighbouring Lesotho fits in the hollow of the province’s bean- like shape. The current borders date from 1994 when the Bantustans were abolished and included into the provinces of South Africa. It is the only Province of the former provinces of South Africa which did not undergo border changes (excluding the incorporation of the Qwa-Qwa Bantustan). The Republic of the Orange Free State (Afrikaans: Oranje-Vrystaat; Dutch: Oranje- Vrijstaat) was an independent Boer republic in southern Africa during the second half of the 19th century. After the Second Anglo Boer War (Great South African War) it was a British colony for a short period, until 1910 when it became one of the four provinces of the Union of South Africa. In 1995, it became known as the Free State Province, one of the nine provinces of South Africa under the new dispensation.

Nearly fifty years ago the International Committee of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) came into being. This body has held fifteen triennial international congresses to date, the most recent being in Leipzig in 1984. With its headquarters in Louvain, Belgium, it publishes a bibliographical and information periodical, Onoma, an indispensable aid to researchers. Since 1967 the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) has provided for co-ordination and liaison between countries to further the standardization of geographical names. To date eleven working sessions and four international conferences have been held. In most countries of the world there are institutes and centres for onomastic research, official bodies for the national standardization of place names, and names societies.
