The documents cite, according to Section 21 of the Municipal Finance Management Act, that the mayor must present a timeline to the council 10 months before the new financial year begins.
This applicable timeline outlines how the municipality will update its IDP and prepare the budget.
This month, the strategic alignment phase included an IDP analysis report, prioritisation of the community inputs, the tabling of the annual IDP/ Budget/ Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) and the submission of the approved IDP to the MEC of local government.
