Human Settlement Plan

The Saldanha Bay Municipality IDP has identified land for housing as one of its key capital and operational priority needs. The provision of houses is however not enough to ensure a healthy functioning community. The appropriate location and range of housing types play a key role in creating a well-connected and spatially, functionally and socially integrated settlement. Subsidised housing constitutes the bulk of this need. However, to expand the municipality’s revenue base, land for medium and high income housing should also be made available.

By providing a broad range of housing opportunities to its whole community, the Saldanha Bay Municipality strives to create a dignified living environment for all of its residents.
