TSANTSABANE 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 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.

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.
