1. How effective are the NT Spatial Transformation Instruments?
Honourable Ministers of Finance and Human Settlements, Mayor Tau, Fellow panelists and distinguished guests
I am taking a big picture view and not focusing on human settlements as a sector, but rather on the built environment as a whole.

2. Presentation Framework
Introduction
What are the instruments?
How effective are they?
How can we improve effectiveness?

11. What are the instruments?

12. What are the instruments?
BEVC Component
Instrument
Public Transport Dimension
Spatial Planning
BEPP Guidelines
Across each part of the BEVC. SDF & IPTN alignment
Urban Network Strategy
Connecting prioritised IZ nodes
IZ Planning Guidelines
Urban Hub Precinct Planning Guidelines
Location of PT facilities at precinct level
Informal Settlement Upgrading Guidelines
Regional connectivity
NDP TA Grant
Funding of IZ and precinct planning
Intergovernmental Project Pipeline
IDP alignment
PT as the most important IZ project
Precinct Planning Toolkit
PT as one project type part of multi-sector/sphere pipeline
Capital Funding
Funding mix (own/grants/borrowing/VC)
DORA
PT and Human Settlement grant allocation/s, Conditions
MFMA/Budget Circulars
PT capital budget
SDBIP
IDP and municipal budget alignment for PT
ICDG
PT investment
NDPG Capital Grant
Precinct PT and NMT investment
Borrowing Policy
Borrowing for PT investment
Implementation
PT procurement
CIDMS
PT projects
Targeted Urban Management
Portfolio approach towards nodal segmentation/TOD
Precinct Management Guidelines
TOD
Urban Development Zone Tax Incentive
CBD TOD
Development Charges Policy
Private sector TOD
Institutional Arrangements & Ops Budget
Sector alignment within and between spheres. Political dimension
PT Ops budget
Reporting & Evaluation
PT inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes
Sectoral and sphere planning creates silos. ST can fix this
Missing link between Planning and funding
Challenges within each component and the linkages and sequencce between them

13. How effective are the instruments?

14. How effective are the instruments? Output/Outcome Levels
Level of high density, mixed-use investment in targeted Integration Zone (TOD) precincts
Private Sector
Commercial, Retail and Light Industrial
Residential
Households investment in housing
Public Sector
Transport options to regional opportunities
Community and Government facilities
Level of investment in spatially prioritised informal settlements
Prioritised, established commercial nodes and CBDs
Level of affordable housing investment (public and private)
Affordable and safe public transport options from marginalised residential areas

15. How effective are the instruments? Input/Activity Levels
To what extent is economic development, housing and transport addressed in each part of the BEVC?
How many targeted zones/nodes are there? How realistic is the extent of the targeted zones/nodes – is this affordable to the public & private sectors and households? Is their economic appetite for this?
To what extent is spatial prioritisation aligned between sectors within and between spheres/SOEs? Between IPTN and BEPP Integration Zone TOD nodes?
Degree to which outcomes-based spatial prioritisation is altered by politicians
How effective is the overall funding mix?
What percentage of the total capital budget (all spheres) is being allocated to the investment in the 3 spatial targeting categories?
Is the UDZ leverage in CBDs sufficient?

16. UDZ Cost-Benefit Analysis – 2014
R14.4 billion

17. How can we improve the effectiveness of the instruments?

18. How can we improve effectiveness?
Introduce Spatial Budgeting into the National, SOE, Provincial & Municipal budget processes – (political) agreement on spatial priorities (Integration Zone/TOD nodes) and intergovernmental project pipelines per TOD node?
Assignment of housing and transport functions to qualifying municipalities
Role of DORA/grant conditions – PRASA, Transport, Human Settlements
Balance between persuasion and prescription
More outcomes-based toolkits (e.g. IZ Planning Guidelines)
BEPP to be strengthened and established as the instrument that integrates other built environment instruments (across government)
Programme preparation guidelines to be released to bridge the gap between spatial planning and implementation
Better private sector linkages via SAPMI
More support towards improved spatial targeting, i.e. affordability/market absorption analysis
