This course guides municipal officials through the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act and its practical application in day to day planning administration. Participants examine spatial development frameworks, land use schemes, and the operation of municipal planning tribunals that decide development applications. Using South African planning scenarios, the programme builds the skills needed to process applications fairly, defend decisions and align development with integrated planning priorities.
