Document: Bergrivier LM: IDP 2011/2012

Bergrivier Municipality wants to ensure the wellbeing of all its residents by means of economic growth, social welfare, community involvement and effective management in a safe and healthy environment. Hence, an imperative is excellent and sustainable service delivery as identified and promoted through the process of integrated development planning. As part of this process, the Municipality has formulated a number of sectoral plans that addresses important development components with the aim of optimising functionality within an integrated delivery framework. Basically, the sectoral plans identify cost spending priorities and investment opportunities considering the development context and strategic informants within a (prescriptive) policy environment. Regarding municipal service delivery, the Bergrivier Municipal Integrated Development Plan 2011/2012 (IDP 2011/2012) serves as the confluence of all the listed (and prioritised) programmes and projects, impacting on the municipal budget. As mentioned, the IDP should eventually reflect, guide and report on delivery in the context of an all-encompassing municipal-wide developmental strategy.
