The Integrated Development Planning and Public Participation unit in the Directorate of Planning and Development held a public participation feedback engagement and open day last week with Ward Committees in Pacaltsdorp Community Hall. Whitney Prins, Manager: IDP and Public Participation, said the platform was created for meaningful engagement and collaboration within our communities. She said the discussions regarding the feedback received on the 10 Capital and 10 operational ward-specific requirements, stemming from the initial round of public participation held across all wards in 2022 was of vital importance.

She said the primary objective is to keep communities informed about the developments and initiatives undertaken by George Municipality as well as sector departments that fall outside the scope of George Municipality’s mandate. In addition to the feedback sessions, the budget for the upcoming financial year was also discussed. Service departments gave a concise overview of their respective roles and responsibilities, as well as explained how they prioritize requests originating from Wards. Information was also provided regarding electricity, roads, EPWP and water meters.
