1 PLANNING PROFESSION BILL (PPB)

2 Current Regulation of the Town and Regional Planners’ Profession The Town and Regional Planners Act (Act No. 19 of 1984) currently regulates the admission into and the practice of the Town and Regional Planning Profession.

3 Why do we need a new Act? Access to the Profession Progression within the Profession Ethical Standards Representativity and Legitimacy

4 Access to the Profession It is worth noting that only about 3,5% of currently registered town and regional planners are blacks. The current institutional avenues for the education and training of Planners remain firmly located in the traditionally white institutions, which to a large extent transmitted the value system, which served and advanced the Apartheid ideology.

5 Progression within the Profession The creation of three categories of planners by the 1984 Act perpetuates a system of dichotomy between the Town & Regional Planners and Technicians with the result that no formal framework exists for progression within the ranks of registered persons.

6 Ethical Standards The Town and Regional Planning discipline has been widely perceived to be instrumental to the implementation of the Apartheid ideology on the physical location and dislocation of the majority. To redress the unacceptable human settlement patterns imposed by Apartheid will require women and men with positive ethical standards.

7 Representativity and Legitimacy Creation of a more representative Council to administer the Act. Members of communities affected or likely to be affected by planning can also serve on Council.

8 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES OF THE BILL Transform the planning profession by:  Streamlining access into the planning profession  Maintaining high technical and ethical standards of practice  Establishing a more representative Council

9 CHAPTER 1 Deals with definitions of key terms used in the Bille.g. instead of “Town and Regional Planner”, now adopts a broader “Planner” category. Sets out principles to govern the moral and professional ethic of the planning fraternity.

10 CHAPTER 2 Provides for the establishment, powers and functioning of an all- inclusive South African Council for Planners. Establishment of Committees including a dedicated one on ‘Education and Training’ to assist the Council in the discharge of its mandate.

11 CHAPTER 3 Deals with registration of persons as candidate, technical & professional planners. Creates mechanisms for the identification of work that may be carried out by registered persons.

12 CHAPTER 4 Provides for recognition of voluntary associations that seek to promote and protect the interests of the Planning Profession.

13 CHAPTER 5 Provides for the formulation of a code of conduct including - declaration of interest, irregular gifts or favours, and accurate representation of qualifications. Provides for the appointment of a disciplinary tribunal and its procedures.

14 CHAPTER 6 Provides for the establishment of an Appeal Board and its procedures

15 CHAPTER 7 Regulates the determination and payment of professional fees Empowers the Minister to make regulations and the Council to make rules Prescribes the liability of Council, its members, committees, officials and registered persons Provides for the delegation of powers by the Minister Sets out offences and penalties Provides for transitional arrangements between the 1984 Act and this Bill
