GA-SEGONYANA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY
Municipal Profile
introduction
The Housing Development Agency (“HDA”) is a national
public development agency that promotes sustainable
communities by making well located and appropriately
planned land and buildings available for the development of
human settlements. The Agency has developed and
deployed an information system which includes municipal
profiles for selected municipalities. The intent of this profile
is to provide guidelines and advice to Provincial Department
of Human Settlements as well as municipalities on efficient
utilization of land and economic government infrastructure
investments in support of integrated human settlements
development.
about the template
The template was compiled for the Housing Development
Agency using a number of different data sources. The 2011
Census information from StatsSA was used extensively to
represent socio-economic information.
The financial profile data was extracted from the
municipalities’ most recent financial statements. The
Integrated Development Plan (IDP), Housing Development
Plan (MHDP) and Spatial Development Framework of each
municipality also provided inputs into the municipal profile.
Where possible, each source of information is quoted as
part 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 provides a snapshot of water, sanitation and
electricity delivery;
• Section 8 deals with budget implications of servicing the
housing backlog,
• Section 9 analyse the performance of the planning
function at municipal level.

cost surface analysis
To develop land everywhere in the municipality does not necessarily cost the same. Often vacant land is
developed at a cost significantly higher than elsewhere in the municipality. This cost surface map for the
municipality will indicate the premium payable based on certain environmental and geological constraints.

accessibility analysis -CBD
This map tests housing projects identified in the SDF in terms of how accessible these projects are to the CBD of
the Municipality (essentially a test to see if proposals attempt a “compact city” design).From the map it is clear
that the majority of projects would take longer than 25 minutes to access the CBD of Kuruman.

accessibility analysis – active mines
This map tests housing projects identified in the SDF in terms of how accessible these projects are to employment
opportunities. Since mining is the major employer in the municipality, all active mines were used as origins. The
map clearly indicates that a number of SDF residential proposals are located on the periphery of the municipality,
more than 10 minutes away from employment opportunities.

Section 11: Planning practises assessment
planning activities
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.
systems
The various planning tools and products at the disposal of a municipally 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
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.
