PUBLIC NOTICE
CITY OF JOHANNESBURG
WARD 102
HAVE YOUR SAY
MAKE A REQUEST
ESCALATE AN ISSUE
The draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP), budget & tariffs for 2023/2024 are out for comment.
The proposed tariff increases for 2023/24 are:
• Rates +5.3% (plus adjustment in value of property)
• The discount of R350 000 off the residential property value has been reduced to R300 000.
• Water +9.3%
• Sewer +9.3%
• Refuse +7%
• Power +18.64%
• Big changes to pensioner rebates
Also note that the IDP meetings are the place for Capital Expenditure requests for the next few years. These are things like resurfacing roads, upgrading central business districts, installing new power cables, traffic calming, new bridges, fixing old bridges, river bank stabilisation, new clinics/taxi ranks, park upgrades, etc. Budgets are very limited, so you will need to keep following up over several (or longer) years.
To ensure broad stakeholder participation and ensure everyone has a chance to comment, a meeting in Region B will be held using hybrid platforms that allow for both in-person and virtual attendance (although it is recommended you go in person).
