CITY OF EXCELLENCE What a time to be part of the team that is running Drakenstein Municipality! This Municipality is brimming with potential and is alive with possibilities. The Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) facilitates all municipal planning and implementation in Drakenstein. This plan is a strategic tool that guides the activities of local government in consultation with residents and stakeholders. The IDP has a number of key objectives and deliverables: firstly, it guides all public and private development planning within the Drakenstein municipal area; secondly, it is the basis for municipal budgeting and resource allocation; and thirdly, it is the articulation of the needs and wishes of our community. As a result of the implementation of the IDP, various achievements were attained. As Executive Mayor it gives me great pleasure to celebrate some of our success stories with you. A clean audit for the last financial year, massive investment in infrastructure, improving road access and traffic flow, reducing water losses, innovative engineering, awards won, pro-poor initiatives, and a bursary programme for disadvantaged students are just some of the examples of what we are doing to enhance Drakenstein. Together with our community, we continue to realise our vision of building a city of excellence in Drakenstein – in a focused, steadfast manner.
