1. PROJECT PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION
The West Rand Regional Master Plan for Housing, 2009, indicated that for
the short-, medium- and long term (2010 – approx. 2020), an additional
almost 140,000 housing units will have to be provided the eradicate the
existing backlogs and to address the current population growth in the
area. It must be pointed out that this 140,000 housing units exclude the
future demand from Merafong City Local Municipality, as this municipality
was only re-demarcated into Gauteng after the study commenced. It
must also be pointed out that this figure only indicates the need in the
housing subsidy (government housing subsidy of approx. R55,000) – and
affordable housing markets (houses from approx. R250,000 – R450,000),
and that the high end housing market (> R500,000) is excluded.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The WRSHSS is a high level strategic plan that will aim to influence and co-
ordinate implementation initiatives and spending from all levels of
government on infrastructure-, housing- and related local government
services planned for the short-, medium- and long term.
2.2 Requirements
It is anticipated that the project sponsor, the DBSA, will have a set of
requirements and this will be included once a consultant has been
appointed.
2.3 Constraints
2.4 Assumptions
It is assumed that the DBSA will allocate funding for this project. The
appointment of a consultant will therefore be subjected to this. Should
funding not come from the DBSA, and no other source of funding be
secured, this project will have to be terminated.
During the process the West Rand District Municipality will perform the
roll and function of aligning – and coordinating agent regarding cross-
border issues between various municipalities.
3. RISKS
The following risks for the WRSHSS project have been identified. The
project manager will determine and employ the necessary risk
mitigation/avoidance strategies as appropriate to minimize the likelihood of
these risks:
Insufficient funding.
4. PROJECT DELIVERABLES
It must be stated that this section will have to be re-addressed once the
project consultant is appointed. It is therefore proposed that a thorough
project initiation workshop be convened, facilitated by a competent person,
and final deliverables be identified. Any further changes to these deliverables
must be approved by the project sponsor and / or Project Steering
Committee. The following preliminary deliverables must be met upon the
successful completion of the WRSHSS project:
Milestone 6: Compile Land Use Budget per SDA and Compare with
Beneficiary Allocation
