NMBMM more focused on financial

sustainability and basic service delivery, the idp needs to adopt a more holistic approach

less emphasis on housing delivery

not clear as to what strategies will be put in place to combat the housing backlog

public participation processes are not all inclusive.

public is not afforded the opportunity to clearly state their needs before the inception of the idp

GVMC more focused on areas that have

economic growth potential such as travel and tourism, industries and recreation

lagging area is in proper transport system and choice terms of housing typologies and land uses integration.

Less focused on social amenities

Less political intervention in the NMBMM IDP Involve competent personnel to carry out and facilitate the entire

process GVMC CDS must introduce mechanisms that will enable the

inhabitants to have choice, in terms of living space, the environment and social opportunities.

Propose that both plans develop an all comprehensive plan that will address sustainability issues and ensure that future needs a meet.

NMBMM should develop sustainability indicators to monitor the SCU’s to benefit the entire municipal jurisdiction.

Financial sustainability should be all inclusive and holistic in order to accommodate all the envisaged projects and programmes.
