Six local areas Separated from one another by major topographical features and major barriers such as river valleys and main roads. Each local area has its own character and opportunities for development and need to be planned and managed accordingly. The planning and management of these areas is aimed at turning these functional districts into local activity systems which provide a range of facilities, opportunities and services required by local residents. Two of the local planning areas: Inanda Dam and Zwelibomvu are entirely traditional authority areas, while Cato Ridge and Mpumalanga have some traditional authority land within its boundaries.

High population in rural areas, disconnected from Metro opportunities High risk generated by informal settlements being in vulnerable locations, pressure on natural environment. High levels of unemployment, low levels of skills and few existing employment opportunities
Transport Informants
Improve Existing Linkages New Linkages required
DUBE TRADE PORT
CURRENT TRANSPORTATION TRENDS AND PROPOSALS N3/M13/R103 provide main east/west linkages. Access is constrained by topography results in lack of alternatives. Main Durban/Johannesburg rail line in the south, affected by steep gradients, axle loading and tunnel clearance. Rail from Western Suburbs to Cato Ridge used mostly for tourism. N3 highly pressured system due to lack of alternates. Diminishing capacity to serve the metropolitan area from an economic point of view. N3 Toll offers challenges. Poor linkages results in inefficient and inconvenient and costly travel patterns. Providing public transport service is constrained by topography High levels of congestion in Western Suburbs due to increased developments
