 2. PROCESS TO RE-ALIGN MAPPING OF RESTRUCTURING ZONES AND
PREPARATION OF PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MINISTER
• The Planning Unit initiated a process to assess performance within the gazetted restructuring zones throughout the Province for
the attention of the Minister, as per policy prescripts.
• During the exercise it was ascertained that there is a misalignment in the datasets of mapping across the three spheres of
government. Cases that were established include:
• Misalignment in the names of the restructuring zones used by the Municipalities, which differs to the names in the gazette;
what was listed in the applications made by municipalities is not what is listed in the gazette in terms of names.
• Subsequently, the associated mapping is also not aligned to the gazette.
• This called for an assessment of all mapping and ensuring that re-alignment is sort. The Planning unit then conducted another
round of municipal consultations to undertake working sessions to re-align the mapping and assess performance in terms of
projects being implemented within the gazetted zones. A series of emerging issues were established including:
• Lack of land availability within the boundaries, which called for boundaries to be expanded to include suitable parcels of land
and properties suitable for social housing.
• Limited capacity and or lack of bulk service infrastructure.
• Municipalities made proposals for additional restructuring zones to be gazetted in identified areas of future development
and growth where social housing can be enhanced.
• All the affected Municipalities have complied and a report has been concluded and its current at the Directors office for vetting.
