Document: Mangaung Metro: IDP 2010/2011

The second Council of Mangaung Local Municipality was elected and inaugurated in March 2006, and subsequently resolved to adopt the IDP of its predecessor with necessary amendments in terms of section 25 (3) of the Municipal Systems Act, No. 32 of 2000 (as amended). The essence here is that this IDP provides the delivery agenda of Council that coincides with the electoral term of 2006 to 2011.

The 2008/09 Integrated Development Plan is therefore the culmination of annual reviews and seek to reinforce annual roll out of the five-year IDP that serve as a medium term strategic plan of Council. As the IDP is a legal regal requirement, the final approval by Council of Mangaung Local Municipality’s IDP means that it has legal status and it supersedes all other plans that guide development within its area of jurisdiction. To ensure that the IDP remains current and relevant, the annual review of the IDP put emphasis on what the Municipality is going to deliver based on the available resource from the Municipality, District, Province and National Government. To this end, the Mangaung IDP endeavoured to illustrate consistency with the Free State Growth and Development Strategy that provides the short - and long - term planning framework for the province.
