Objective of the Municipal Spatial Development Framework (MSDF)

The objective of the Municipal SDF is to guide the spatial distribution of current and future land uses, infrastructure investment, development, and protection of the natural environment, considering financial realities, whilst giving effect to the vision, goals and objectives of the Municipal Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The SDF is intended to show desired patterns of land use, directions for future growth, indicate the alignment of Urban Edges, and depict special development areas, at a municipal level as well as local level. The impact of the SDF is limited to providing policy to guide and informing land development and management. The SDF do not change or confer real rights on land.
