Transport and Public Works
Whether the Provincial Regulatory Entity (PRE) has in its possession the up-to-date integrated transport plans (ITPs) of municipalities; if so, can a copy be made available of the ITP of the (a) City of Cape Town, (b) Garden Route and (c) Cape Winelands with direct reference to the parts or sections that the PRE utilises for its decisions on operating licence applications?
Not all municipalities have provided copies of their ITPs to the PRE. We have provided copies of the requested ITPs, attached as ANNEXURES A [CoCT],
B [Garden Route] and C [Cape Winelands], respectively.
Section 55[2][a] of the NLTA requires of the municipality to provide directions having due regard to the ITP for the area, or if the ITP has not been finalised or is inadequate, it must take the decision based on due inquiries or investigations carried out by it.
The PRE acts in accordance with the directions received from municipalities.
