SWARTLAND STRATEGY OVERVIEW

2

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

Area-based planning is an initiative that complements the IDP process by focusing and zooming in on communities. Communities in this sense are represented by settlements and wards. Because wards are often demarcated in a way that divides areas that in reality function as a unit, Swartland decided to adopt an approach that in the first place focuses on sensible geographical areas, simultaneously considering ward planning so that wards are not neglected. To achieve this, a number of wards are combined for each area plan.

The following five planning areas were identified: North: Moorreesburg, Koringberg and Ruststasie (Wards 1 and 2) East: Riebeek West, Riebeek Kasteel and Ongegund (Wards 3 and 12) West: Darling and Yzerfontein (Wards 5 and 6) South: Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal (Wards 4 and 7) Central: Malmesbury (Wards 8, 9, 10 and 11 and small portions of wards 4, 7 and 12).

As such, it is an approach that represents an effort to address integrated development planning at a sub-municipal level. There are therefore five planning areas; each with its own Area Plan document. Four of the five plans represent two wards each, while Malmesbury town represents four wards.

The importance of the role of the wards and ward committees is addressed in the second section of each Area Plan. It also contains the community inputs and the results of the public meetings pertaining to those wards.

1.2 STRUCTURE OF DOCUMENT

When presenting planning and community participation at local level, information is presented per town and per ward (as mentioned in the previous paragraph).

This can be challenging as it interrupts the natural flow from analysis and community participation towards projects. To maintain clarity, however, everything that can be linked to a town was grouped in the town section, and everything linked to a ward approach, is presented in the ward section.

1.3 COMPILATION OF THE AREA PLANS

The Municipality compiles the area plans in conjunction with the ward committees. Meetings are held every year with all 12 ward committees to determine their issues and top ten priorities or to reprioritise the priorities if required because of changing circumstances.

The main priorities of the relevant wards are identified by the ward committees in respect of the five IDP strategic goals.

The priorities identified during the meetings are then captured by the Municipality and returned to the various ward committees to verify the ten main priorities, as stated in the area plan.

The area plans are finalized annually by the end of May and approved by council together with the Integrated Development Plan.

1.5 THE IDP AND AREA PLANS

The five area plans include the following: an understanding of social diversity in the community, the assets, vulnerabilities and preferences of these different social groups; an analysis of the services available to these groups, as well as the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing the community; a consensus on priorities for the relevant wards; and Identification of projects for the IDP.

Area plans help to ensure that the IDP is more targeted and relevant to addressing the priorities of all groups, including the most vulnerable. Area plans provide ward committees with a systematic planning and implementation tool to perform their roles and responsibilities. They form the basis for dialogue between the Municipality and ward committees regarding the identification of priorities and budget requests and will also be used by ward committees for ongoing monitoring and evaluation throughout the year.

Area plans are part and parcel of the IDP and contain information used in defining the Municipality’s long term strategy. The information is however on a detail level and not duplicated in the IDP.

3. TOWNS IN THE AREA

3.1 MALMESBURY

(a) HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

In 1661 an expedition was undertaken, under the guidance of Jan Wintervogel, in the direction of Malmesbury. The area was named “Het Swartland”, with reference to the Renosterbos which appear black during warm summer months. Malmesbury originated in 1743 in the wide Dieprivier valley, around the mineral resources and fountains in the area. One of the old wells is still displayed in an old furniture store near the Dutch Reformed Church.

The town was officially proclaimed on 21 May 1827 and in 1829 named Malmesbury by the Governor of the Cape, Sir Lowry Cole, who named it after his father in law, the first Count of Malmesbury in England. In 1860 the town obtained municipal status. Malmesbury currently holds the Category B4 seat in Swartland Municipality.

(b) DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE

This town recorded a high category for both the quantitative and qualitative ranking of development potential. On the whole, with a 14th position on the development potential ranking list of the 131 towns in the province, Malmesbury fulfils an important urban niche in the region as well as the province. The main contributors to this general standing are institutional and commercial services, as well as the town’s market potential because of its location close to the Cape Town Metropolitan area.

Entrepreneurs have already demonstrated confidence in the economy of the town in the form of investment activities. The town’s transportation infrastructure, economic sector and human resources further contribute to this position. The human needs index has a ‘low’ rating (ranked 28th), which means that the town’s residents are in general well-off relative to the provincial norm. On the whole this development profile demonstrates a well-balanced and positive image for sustained urban growth. Malmesbury presents itself as a possible “leader town” for regional development on a wider scale in the province (Growth potential of towns in the Western Cape, 2005)

Malmesbury’s development potential is strengthened by its diversified character that contributes to its success as a regional urban center. This potential is further supplemented by administrative and manufacturing functions as the economic base. The powerful position of the indicators measuring human resources, transportation, institutional services, commercial services, economic sectors and market potential indicate a sound confidence level for further economic development and private entrepreneurship. Being the administrative seat of the Swartland Municipality, it already serves as a regional service centre for a wider area.

The urban economy is in a strong growth phase. Its high development potential can be attributed to factors such as its relative accessibility along the N7 road/rail corridor, a diversified economic base which not only accommodates agriculture, but also well-developed industrial and commercial sectors, as well as supportive infrastructure.

As a result of the high property values in the Metropole and the attraction of a tranquil rural atmosphere, there is a revival in the property market in Malmesbury. People settle here and commute on a daily basis to their work in Cape Town. The town has sufficient land for future residential and other development projects. Densification within the demarcated urban edge should still take place at a faster rate. The confidence in the local economy is supported by the existence of international companies and a large number of national companies such as the Pioneer Group, Sugar Bird, Bonwit and Raiël. A number of provincial and national departments have also been established here. Growth potential can further be stimulated by increasing the accessibility to the West Coast development corridor. The urban future of Malmesbury appears to be favourable for sustainable growth.
