HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Langeberg Municipality invites all residents, communities, and stakeholders to take part in shaping our future. From 1 September to 31 October 2026, you’ll have the chance to share your ideas and priorities for the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) — the roadmap that guides how we plan services, infrastructure, and development programmes across Langeberg.

You know your community best. You see the challenges every day. Your input matters.

Participation Made Easy – Share Your Views Online
We’ve made it simpler than ever to have your say. During the participation period, you can send in your suggestions without attending a meeting. Use any of these platforms:

• Online survey on the Municipal website
• Contact form on the Municipal website
• Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
• WhatsApp: 065 211 7822
• Facebook: Langeberg Municipality
• Instagram: @LangebergMuni
• X (Twitter): @LangebergMuni
• Municipal SMS service
• Your Ward Councillor or Ward Committee

We’ll also share reminders and links through our communication channels to keep you connected.

No Internet? No Problem.
Not everyone has access to devices, data, or the ability to write. That doesn’t mean you’re left out. Visit your nearest municipal office during the participation period, and our staff will gladly help you record and submit your suggestions. Every resident deserves a voice.

What Should I Include?
When you send in your ideas, keep them clear and specific. Tell us:

1. Where – your town, ward, street, or area.
2. What the need is – describe the problem or priority.
3. Who is affected – a street, neighbourhood, organisation, or the wider ward.
4. What you propose – suggest the improvement or project you’d like considered.

Examples include:

• Roads and stormwater upgrades
• Water and sanitation services
• Street lighting and electricity
• Waste management and illegal dumping
• Parks, housing, and community facilities
• Safety, youth, and development programmes
• Economic and employment initiatives

Be specific. Instead of saying “Our roads are bad,” you could write: “In Ward 1, Robertson the tar in Church Street is breaking up. It’s making driving difficult and dangerous for residents. Please assess the road for repairs or upgrading.”

The more detail you give, the easier it is for us to act.

What Happens Next?
All inputs received between 1 September, and 31 October 2026 will be recorded and considered in the IDP planning process. Not every project can be funded immediately — we must weigh resources, responsibilities, and feasibility. Some matters may also fall under the Western Cape Government or National Government, and we’ll engage them where needed.

The important step is making sure your community’s needs are heard and placed on the planning agenda.

IDP Input or Service Complaint?
Remember:

• An IDP input looks to the future — it’s about development priorities and long-term planning.
• A service complaint is about immediate issues like a burst pipe, power outage, or missed refuse collection. These should still be reported through the Municipality’s normal service request channels – 24 Hour Call Centre.

Participate Positively – Help Us Plan for Langeberg
Public participation works best when communities share constructive, realistic, and solution-focused ideas. Talk to your neighbours. Discuss priorities with your Ward Councillor and Ward Committee. Think about what your community needs now and what should be planned for tomorrow.

Whether you live in Ashton, Bonnievale, McGregor, Montagu, Robertson, or our rural areas, this is your chance to shape the future of Langeberg.

YOUR VOICE. YOUR WARD. YOUR LANGEBERG.
Connect. Participate. Be heard. Help us plan for the future of Langeberg.
