Proposed new tariffs, credit control measures and budget proposals on capital projects are expected to dominate discussions at the City of Ekurhuleni’s Draft Integrated Development and Planning (IDP) and Budget public consultative meetings.
Residents and stakeholders will have an opportunity to comment on the developmental programme of the city as contained in the IDP for the next five years and the budget for the next three years.
The consultative meeting for Brakpan residents will be held at 6pm on April 9 at the Brakpan Indoor Sports Centre along Elliot Street.
Clr Petrus Mabunda, member of the mayoral committee, is expected to be in attendance.
Integrated development planning is a process through which municipalities prepare a strategic development plan which extends over a five-year period.
This then guides and informs all planning, budgeting, management and decision-making processes in the municipality.
The Draft IDP and Draft Budget documents can be viewed electronically at www.ekurhuleni.gov.za, or at public libraries, pay points and customer care centres during office hours.
Comments can be filled in and dropped into Budget Tips boxes at the mentioned offices or emailed to budgettips@ekurhuleni.gov.za
Public enquiries can also be made by contacting the IDP office at 011 999 6763, 011 999 0591 and 011 999 5921.
