CONTENTS Introduction Process to determine DC’s Growth Model Bulk Services Implementation Lessons Learnt Questions

INTRODUCTION It is the responsibility of Local Government to pro-actively plan for growth and development of their town. First it should determine the potential for growth, and then the required bulk services to serve such growth. And to establish sources of funding for such services.

PROCESS TO DETERMINE DC’S Need for Local Government to stimulate economic development Need to pro-actively plan for growth and development of City/Town Development of a long term Growth Model for the Area Compilation of master plans for bulk services to serve Growth Model
6
Calculate the cost of each of the bulk services Determine the contribution from each development opportunity to pay for bulk infrastructure Negotiate with Developer to provide bulk services in lieu of DC’s, where applicable Pay DC’s into a dedicated account (per service) to be used in future for the provision of bulk infrastructure PROCESS TO DETERMINE DC’S

PURPOSE OF THE PRESENTATION To share the considered key elements of such a policy To highlight the alignment between SDF; IDP; MTREF; and DC’s
24
LESSONS LEARNT - LEGISLATION LUPO provides for charging DC’s but is not very clear in its definitions …include conditions in relation to the cession of land or the payment of money which is directly related to the requirements resulting from the said authorisation, exemption, application or appeal in respect of the provision of necessary services or amenities to the land concerned. This lead to court cases around the quantum charged Electricity has less of a problem - legislation allows them to charge DC’s as a tariff It is therefore important how LUPA will deal with DC’s
25
LESSONS LEARNT - FINANCIAL Plan for growth of Town and see DC’s as an additional source of revenue This is not just another tax - it is a planning exercise Do not hand it over to Treasury Quantum and When it is payable must be known upfront by Developers - certainty Follow proper process of collecting DC’s – big numbers at stake
26
LESSONS LEARNT - ECONOMY Be aware not to scare investors away - you are in the business of selling your town and draw investors Approach DC’s as a partnership with Private Sector Mitigate impact on job creation through subsidies – DC’s on Commercial and Industrial developments are high. LUPO requires regard to the various rates and levies paid in the past or to be paid in the future by the owner of the land concerned - WWTW
27
KEY ELEMENTS OF DC POLICY Must find a balance between need to stimulate economy and job creation; and funding the growth of the town Private Sector is running huge risks with low margins - need support and certainty (look at number of entities that left development) Beware of line departments treating DC’s as a cash cow – delivery of service for which money was collected must take place Proper system and policy is required for administration - big amounts at stake
28
ALIGNMENT BETWEEN SDF; IDP; MTREF; & DC’S Planning for the future is responsible management In terms of the IDP it is a legal requirement In terms of MFMA a Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework (MTREF) is a requirement Determination of your Spatial Development Framework is the starting point for compiling a Growth Model Engineers need to plan ahead for all bulk services (part of IDP): they can only do so if they have a Growth Model Planning by the Engineers must be budgeted for – back to MTREF MTREF relies on various sources of income - i.e. DC’s
