INDEPENDENT MUNICIPAL DEMARCATION AUTHORITY BILL: CALL FOR COMMENTS
- 08 March 2023
- Local Government
- SA Legal Academy
Please note: On 19 July 2023, the Parliamentary Monitoring Group (PMG) posted a notice on its website extending the deadline for comments to 29 August 2023. This follows PMG's 9 March 2023 publication of a revised notice postponing the deadline to 24 March 2023. Nationwide pubic hearings are already under way.
The National Assembly’s Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs Committee has issued a notice calling for input by 10 March 2023 on the Independent Municipal Demarcation Authority Bill. The notice was posted on the Department of Co-operative Governance & Traditional Affairs website on 6 March 2023 – just three days before the deadline for written submissions. It has yet to appear on Parliament’s site (where such notices are generally published). Neither has the call for comment been posted on the Parliamentary Monitoring Group website.
Tabled in June 2022, the Bill was drafted in response to ‘extensive inputs from the (existing Municipal) Demarcation Board and other stakeholders’. The intention is that the new legislation should be in line with current board practices. Once in force, it will repeal the Local Government: Municipal Demarcation Act, 1998.
