RESIDENTS ARE INVITED TO HAVE A SAY IN THE CITY’S BUDGET AND IDP

The City of Ekurhuleni invites members of the public to a series of Integrated Development and Planning (IDP) and Budget consultative meetings that will start on Tuesday, 9 April until 19 April. The first sessions will take place in Duduza, Boksburg and Katlehong 1.

The meetings will take place across the city in an effort to give everyone an opportunity to make inputs and comment on the draft reviewed (IDP) for the period 2024/25 and the draft Multiyear Budget 2024/25 – 2026/2027.

The draft IDP and budget documents are also available for viewing on the City‘s website www.ekurhuleni.gov.za. Comments and suggestions should be emailed to budgettips@ekurhuleni.gov.za.

“The City appeals to members of the public to seize the opportunity and constructively contribute to the formulation of these important documents that guide the development and service delivery agenda of the metro,” says city spokesman Zweli Dlamini.

He further explains that the meetings have been scheduled for the evenings to accommodate many people, including the working class and students.

The closing date for comments is Friday, 19 April 2024.

The IDP is a process through which municipalities prepare a strategic development plan which extends over a 5-year period. In terms of the Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000 all municipalities have to undertake an IDP process to produce IDP’s. During its five-year life cycle, the IDP is reviewed and updated annually. The Annual Budget provides the Medium-Term Revenue & Expenditure Framework (MTREF) which sets out the financial path for the ensuing three years.
