IDP and budget tabled for community consultation
Members of the public will have the opportunity to engage with the city at these meetings.
ON April 28 the budget for the City of Ekurhuleni will be tabled for approval and it will be the last budget tabled for the 2011-2016 term of office.
In line with section 16 of the Municipal Financial Management Act, the draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and budget for the city’s 2016/17 – 2018/19 financial period has been tabled for noting by council.
The IDP is a process through which municipalities prepare a strategic development plan which extends over a five-year period. It includes the planning, budgeting, resource allocation and decision-making processes within the municipality.
It also includes the public participation process. This means that members of the public and other interested stakeholders have the opportunity to comment on the city’s draft 2016/17 – 2018/19 IDP and 2016/17 – 2018/19 municipal budget.
Copies of the draft IDP and budget can be viewed at all pay points and public libraries within the Ekurhuleni areas and is also available on www.ekurhuleni.gov.za
Any interested parties can comment on the documents by completing a comment form at any of the points where the documents are available for viewing; filling in the form electronically on the website; or by emailing comments to budgettips@ekurhuleni.gov.za
The Budget Tips campaign runs from March 1 to March 31. During the Budget Tips campaign public meetings will be held in all customer care areas across the city where the proposed IDP and budget will be presented. Members of the public will have the opportunity to engage with the city at these meetings as well as make comments on the proposed budget.
This meeting for Alberton residents will be hosted on March 15 at 18:00 in the Alberton conference room, ground floor, civic centre, 1 Alwyn Taljaardt Avenue.
