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.

Planning

The documents associated with the planning process include the following:

  • 5-year Plan (IDP) Review
  • Statutory, Strategic and Operational Plans
  • Time Schedules

Implementing SDBIPs

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

These SDBIPs should include the following:

  • Projections for 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 SDBIPs 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 SDBIPs are made public within 14 days after their approval.
