HDA budget 2012 to 2017 Operational budget: The MTEF allocation for 2012/13 is R million increasing to R million in 2013/14. The estimated budget allocation for the five years is as follows: In order to operate within the operating grant allocated to the HDA, the staff establishment of 90 has been frozen at 61 posts for the next five years. If the HDA is to fully perform its legislated functions, the quantum of the monies appropriated to the Agency would need to be reviewed, as well as the available grants and/ or subsidies.

HDA budget 2012 to 2017 Capital budget: There is currently no capital grant allocation confirmed for the HDA for land acquisition for privately-owned and SOE land. The HDA therefore focuses on releasing state-owned land. To date we have submitted proposals for funds to support the purchase of SOE land (R315 million). Purchases are done on the basis of provincially availed funds. The budgets for the S29 projects that are currently being managed by the HDA are included in the five year budget. Policy in HDA is that in the event that there are savings we use this for land purchases There is still a need for a comprehensive capital funded land acquisition programme for the HDA.
