EThekwini Municipality is calling on the public to submit their comments on the Draft Spatial Development Framework (SDF) 2016/17, which will guide and manage spatial development and investment in the eThekwini Region.
Deputy Mayor Nomvuzo Shabalala said the SDF is an approach to ensure that the City is able to address spatial inequalities and inefficiencies in communities, provide a high quality of life and attract investors.
“It is important for the City to have this document to guide our future growth and respond to the development needs of the Municipality,” said Shabalala
Shabalala added that as the City was faced with global environmental challenges, the framework will assist with various mechanisms to assess environmental sustainability.
