Residents reminded to attend Integrated Development Plan (IDP) session

The City of Johannesburg (CoJ) continues its commitment to creating a city of inclusivity, opportunity, and transformation by emphasising the importance of public participation in decision-making processes through the Integrated Development Plan (IDP).

The IDP is a vital tool used by local governments to ensure the voices and opinions of community members are heard and considered in the planning and development of the city.

Following community-based planning meetings and a thorough analysis of inputs, comments, and suggestions, the council approved the draft IDP for the financial year 2024/25 for public consultation.

The CoJ encouraged residents to review the draft IDP on the city’s website and provide their valuable feedback and input. The closing date for submissions is May 9 at 17:00.

To further facilitate public participation the city has scheduled a series of IDP sessions in all seven regions. While some meetings have already taken place, the CoJ reminded residents to attend the remaining IDP session on April 18, from 16:00 to 20:00 at Brixton Multipurpose Centre.

Residents are encouraged to participate in these sessions, provide feedback, and propose changes before the final draft of the IDP is presented to the council for approval.
