The municipal strengths include the following:

•The area has natural assets: a natural coastline, good quality soils, temperate climate: these can be harnessed to contribute to economic development imperatives through the tourism and

agriculture sectors;

•The area has a diversity of cultural assets: which are currently not harnessed to contribute towards economic

imperatives;

•Umdoni is easily accessible by air, road and rail: it is located along the primary movement corridor of the N2, and has an existing railway infrastructure and is located in close proximity

to Durban with it’s harbor, airport, markets and logistics.

•Umdoni has established tourism infrastructure and an existing tourism market for coastal, golf and diving adventure tourism.

Diversification of tourism products will improve the market share of Umdoni.

•Umdoni has a reasonable level of existing infrastructure along the coastline, and is considered a “going concern”

Opportunities include the following:•Tourism can be grown and diversified due to the existing

market, infrastructural development, natural products, going concern of the area, and location to transportation;

•Agriculture can be diversified and niche as well as value add considered in product diversification due to Umdoni’s location,

soils and climate which portend well for agricultural development;

•With a human capital resource, jobs and employment provide opportunities for investors and economic growth

interventions;

•Existing agricultural products grown lend themselves to explore by-products being utilized for energy production i.e.

Ethanol, and in terms of its location, possibly even a processing plan for ethanol;

• There is great potential for development in Umdoni.
