The Newcastle Municipality hereby invites all Newcastle’s SMME’s (Small Medium Micro Enterprises) to register their companies on the Newcastle Database at the Newcastle Municipality, Murchison Street, Room 9.
(Registrations are free.) Kindly be informed that the Newcastle Municipality will be providing technical/civil training for SMME’s from July 2009.
In line with the fundamental role of local government, the Department of Town Planning has, in the recent past, adopted a dedicated and more focused strategic planning approach (vision-driven planning) that is committed to ensuring optimization of existing resources, promotion of diverse combination of land uses and promoting residential and employment opportunities in close proximity (integration) with each other. Poor planning, political and investment decisions of the past about land development and where activities should be located in Newcastle have resulted in a town which has disadvantaged its citizens, especially the poor.
To ensure success in all its development endeavours, the Department of Town Planning has always been committed to the following collectively crafted vision. Providing a vibrant, integrated and sustainable living environment offering opportunities for all”.
