COMPONENTS OF SUPPORT FRAMEWORK
COMPONENT
Spatial Development Framework
DESCRIPTION
The primary aim of the spatial development framework (SDF) is to
create a competent district spatial structure. The SDF promote
improved systems of access, link settlements, guide investment and
create a overall system of opportunity.
Planning / Service
Standards
Planning standards establish basic minimum levels of services which
the District will set out to achieve. It represents an ideal and may not
be achieved in the medium term. Planning standards are linked to the
spatial development framework and encourages orderly spatial
development.
Financial Strategy
Funding is essential for both the ongoing operation of the council as
well as the implementation of development, i.e. the core function of
the District. A broad strategy identifying approaches to ensuring the
availability of funding is required.
Corporate
Development
The necessary institutional systems and structures must be in place
for implementing the IDP. Clarity must therefore specifically exist on
roles and responsibilities and how performance will be managed.
Note: The support framework will be completed in Phases 3 and 4 of the IDP process. A draft spatial development framework and
and proposed planning standards were prepared and presented in Phase 1.

OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES AND PROJECTS
What is an Objective: A clear, concise and
quantifiable (or measurable) objective

(KPIs) for the municipality.
What is a Strategy: A strategy is the plan
of action that the District Municipality will
take to achieve its specific objectives and
ultimately its vision.
What is a Project: A project is the activity
or action through which the strategy will be
