This entails the city’s plans to spend its funds in line with its objectives, needs and priorities.

This plan is based on the Growth and Development Plan 2055, which is the city’s long-term plan.

It is broken up into shorter term goals, the IDP, which is a process where municipalities prepare a strategic development plan that covers five years. It includes planning, budgeting, resource allocation, and decision-making processes in the municipality, as well as the public participation process in which the public is consulted and asked to comment on the proposed plans of the city.

The public consultations include public meetings that will commence on April 5 and will be held until April 24.

Residents can visit all public libraries, customer care centres and the city’s website at www.ekurhuleni.gov.za to view the draft IDP and budget that includes the tariff structure.

All comments and input on the draft IDP and budget can be emailed to budgettips@ekurhuleni.gov.za

The closing date for comments is April 29.
