5.3Land Use Planning Sector Goals and Objectives for DDP6

Table 5.18 Sector Goals and Objectives

1. Create conducive environment for potential investors	To ensure availability of serviced land To improve and expand physical infrastructure To provide adequate community/public facilities
2. Development and promotion of the district’s natural resources to the advantage of the district and socio-economic growth	To identify and facilitate the use of natural resources

5. To reduce the effects of soil erosion in the district by proper land use management.	Initiate the preparation of the district’s integrated land use plan Encourage lining of drainage channels

5.4Framework for Strategic Environmental Assessment.

The National Policy on Natural Resources Conservation and Development (National Conservation Strategy Coordinating Agency, 1990) has focused on key environmental issues and solution packages. It establishes the NCSA and its advisory body, the NCSA Board and proposes environmental legislation to particularly make it easy to advocate for environmentally friendly policies and programmes. The incorporation of an EIA on all development projects becomes an integral part of development planning for which Kgatleng DDP6 is no exception.
A broad stakeholder involvement in the development plan process ensures a sense of ownership for natural resources and hence spontaneous need for their conservation and protection.
