87,02% of all billed revenue has been collected, the benchmark is 95%

The historic infrastructure base is sufficient to supportthe current service delivery demands.

The downward trend however indicates the need toinvest in economic assets to ensure future generation ofrevenue.

The payment level of 87,02%

resulted in a loss of R 152 million in cash flow which should have been utilised in service delivery or in capital investment.

Future sustainability and growth is dependent on a collection rate of approximately 95% and a focused revenue collection strategy should be implemented.

In 2013, 88,45% of the Municipality’s revenue was internally generated, this has

increased with 0,75% from 2012, which indicates an decreasing dependency on government grants to sustain operations.

cost surface analysis

To develop land everywhere in the municipality does not necessarily cost the same. Often vacant land isdeveloped at a cost significantly higher than elsewhere in the municipality. This cost surface map for themunicipality will indicate the premium payable based on certain environmental and geological constraints.

planning activities

systems

This section investigates the legislative requirements of having an IDP, SDF and land use scheme in place. Though not legislated, it also

includes a long term strategic plan (e.g. a growth and development strategy). On the whole it the planning scope of practises in the

municipality can be seen as “competent” . All the requirements of legislation are met.

The various planning tools and products at the disposal of a municipality are supported by various information systems. These systems can

be relatively large and complex (e.g. an agent based transport and land use modelling system) or relatively simple (such as an excel spread

sheet calculating the number of social facilities to be provided as for different population scenarios). Information systems can thus be defined

in this particular context as the means by which skilled municipal officials use software and information to support the process of spatial

restructuring.

organisational tactics

human resources

The organisational tactics, or rather the extent to which the organisation support the Planning function can at best be described as being in

its “awareness” phase. It is largely left up to individuals to up skill themselves or to acquire necessary information required for personal

growth. More interaction with planning role-players are required for the planning function to grow the municipality. This includes access to

information and networking with planners at other municipalities or other spheres of government.
