The template was compiled for the Housing DevelopmentAgency using a number of different data sources. The 2011Census information from StatsSA was used extensively torepresent socio-economic information.
The financial profile data was extracted from themunicipalities’ most recent financial statements. TheIntegrated Development Plan (IDP), Housing DevelopmentPlan (MHDP) and Spatial Development Framework of eachmunicipality also provided inputs into the municipal profile.Where possible, each source of information is quoted aspart of the specific figure, table or chart.
The municipal profile is structured in the following sections:• Section 1 provides background information on the
municipality, including land use data;• Section 2 deals with demographic information such as
population growth and income;• Section 3 provides an economic overview of the
municipality;• Section 4 investigates the financial status of the
municipality;• Section 5 gives headline data on the property market in
the municipality;• Section 6 looks at housing demand and historic delivery
of RDP houses;• Section 7 displays a land rent analysis;• Section 8 provides a snapshot of water, sanitation and
electricity delivery;• Section 9 displays a cost surface analysis;• Section 10 deals with budget implications of servicing the
housing backlog,• Section 11 analyse the performance of the planning
function at municipal level.

87,02% of all billed revenue has been collected, the benchmark is 95%
The historic infrastructure base is sufficient to supportthe current service delivery demands.
The downward trend however indicates the need toinvest in economic assets to ensure future generation ofrevenue.
The payment level of 87,02%
resulted in a loss of R 152 million in cash flow which should have been utilised in service delivery or in capital investment.
Future sustainability and growth is dependent on a collection rate of approximately 95% and a focused revenue collection strategy should be implemented.
In 2013, 88,45% of the Municipality’s revenue was internally generated, this has
increased with 0,75% from 2012, which indicates an decreasing dependency on government grants to sustain operations.

planning activities
systems
This section investigates the legislative requirements of having an IDP, SDF and land use scheme in place. Though not legislated, it also
includes a long term strategic plan (e.g. a growth and development strategy). On the whole it the planning scope of practises in the
municipality can be seen as “competent” . All the requirements of legislation are met.
The various planning tools and products at the disposal of a municipality are supported by various information systems. These systems can
be relatively large and complex (e.g. an agent based transport and land use modelling system) or relatively simple (such as an excel spread
sheet calculating the number of social facilities to be provided as for different population scenarios). Information systems can thus be defined
in this particular context as the means by which skilled municipal officials use software and information to support the process of spatial
restructuring.

organisational tactics
human resources
The organisational tactics, or rather the extent to which the organisation support the Planning function can at best be described as being in
its “awareness” phase. It is largely left up to individuals to up skill themselves or to acquire necessary information required for personal
growth. More interaction with planning role-players are required for the planning function to grow the municipality. This includes access to
information and networking with planners at other municipalities or other spheres of government.
