The City’s IDP 2012-2017

An overview of the City’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP).

The IDP 2012-2017

Read the full Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and understand how we are planning to make progress possible.

What is an Integrated Development Plan?

It's a plan for the City to:

develop a clear vision and key priorities for the City;
decide how we will best spend our money and allocate scarce resources;
reflect the Council’s development strategies and objectives for the elected term; and
design a framework for development – social, economic, environmental, spatial, infrastructural.

Why do we have an IDP?

To speed up delivery to focus areas.
To attract investment – investors like to know there’s a solid plan in place.
To ensure City departments are working together for the same goals.
To formulate the best development strategies.
To develop the appropriate organisational structure and systems.
To ensure that projects and programmes are efficiently implemented.
To promote democracy and public participation.

Who could be involved in the development of the IDP?

Councillors, executive committee, traditional leaders, ward committee members, heads of departments, advisors, community groups, community representatives, and you!

The IDP process and process plan

The IDP process is in place to ensure the proper management of the plan. The Council-approved IDP process plan, published annually, should outline the following:

The structure that will manage the process to develop and renew the IDP.
How the public can participate and structures that will be created to ensure this participation.
Time schedule for the planning process.
Who is responsible for what.
How the process will be monitored.

Statutory, strategic and operational plans

Implementing

The Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plans (known as the SDBIPs) are detailed plans approved by the mayor for implementing the municipality’s delivery of municipal services and its annual budget.

This SDBIP should include the following:

Projections of each month
Revenue to be collected, by source
Operational and capital expenditure, by vote
Service delivery targets and performance indicators for each quarter
Any other matters prescribed

The Executive Mayor is expected to approve the SDBIP within 28 days after the approval of the budget. In addition the Executive Mayor must ensure that the revenue and expenditure projections for each month and the service delivery targets and performance indicators as set out in the SDBIP are made public within 14 days after their approval.

You can view all SDBIP documents below:
