1 INTRODUCTION

The Environmental Implementation Plan (EIP) is a legal requirement originating from Chapter 3 of the National Environmental

Management Act (Act No. 108 of 1994) (NEMA). It is to be prepared by certain national departments, listed in Schedule 1 of

NEMA, and every provincial department responsible for environmental affairs within five years of the Act coming into operation,

and at intervals of not more than five years thereafter. In addition, Chapter 3 of NEMA states that “every national department

listed in Schedule 2 of NEMA is required to prepare an environmental management plan (EMP) in the same timeframes and

every national department that is listed in both Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 may prepare a consolidated environmental

implementation and management plan”. Municipalities in turn must adhere to the national and relevant provincial

environmental implementation and management plans, and the principles contained in Section 2 of NEMA in the preparation

of any policy, programme or plan, including the drafting of municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs).

As per Section 12 of the NEMA, the purpose of the EIP is, in respect of the national and provincial departments in question as well

as all municipalities, to:

coordinate and harmonise environmental policies, plans, programmes and decisions in order to (i) minimise the

duplication of procedures and functions; and (ii) promote consistency in the exercise of functions that may affect the

environment;

give effect to the principle of cooperative government in Chapter 3 of the Constitution;

secure the protection of the environment across the country as a whole;

prevent unreasonable actions in respect of the environment that are prejudicial to the economic or health interests of

other provinces or the country as a whole; and

enable monitoring of the achievement, promotion, and protection of a sustainable environment.

EIPs and EMPs further seek to align the Environmental Sector priorities and long term strategies as identified in the National

Development Plan Vision 2030.


8

Section 16 (1) (b) of NEMA states that every organ of state must report annually within four months of the end of its financial

year on the implementation of the adopted EIP to the Director-General of the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA). The

Third Edition of the Western Cape EIP was published in the Provincial Gazette Extraordinary on Friday 2 October 2015. This report

is the first compliance report on the implementation of the Third Edition EIP and is submitted in terms of Section 16(1)(b) of NEMA

for the 2015/16 financial year.

2 BACKGROUND

The underlying structure of the Western Cape’s 3rd edition EIP was aligned with the strategic priorities of Chapter 5 (Environmental

Sustainability) of the National Development Plan 2030 (2012) as these in turn aligned well with the priority areas that emerged from

the Western Cape State of Environment Report in 2013. The one exception is the inclusion of the Green Economy as an additional

strategic priority in the structure of the EIP, as the Western Cape government has chosen to implement many environmental goals

by way of the Green Economy, and it therefore deserves its own priority category. The Western Cape State of Environment Outlook

Report (SoEOR) is currently under development and is due for release early in 2018. The findings of this report will therefore feed into

the EIP Compliance Report of 2018 and 2019, and will inform the new edition of the EIP in 2020.

The categories/ strategic priorities into which the key priority indicators, as identified in Section 6 of the 3rd edition EIP, are grouped

are thus as follows:

Enhancing governance systems and capacity

Sustaining South Africa’s ecosystems and using natural resources efficiently

Managing a just transition and the Green Economy

Building Sustainable Communities

Responding effectively to Climate Change (mitigation and adaptation)

The 3rd edition EIP identifies existing policies, plans and programmes that may significantly affect the environment in the Western

Cape. From these documents a set of 100 priority indicators were identified and listed, together with outcomes and annual targets

for the period 2015 to 2020. This compliance report serves primarily to report on the target achievement for each of these indicators

for the 2015-16 financial year.


10

3 UPDATES TO WESTERN CAPE STRATEGIC CONTEXT AND INFLUENCE ON EIP

There were no notable updates to strategic documents that have a direct bearing on the EIP during the 2015/16 financial year.

Mention only needs to be made that the Western Cape State of Environment Outlook Report (SoEOR), last published in 2013, is

currently under review and is due for publication early in 2018.

4 COMPLIANCE WITH OUTCOMES AND KEY PRIORITY INDICATORS OF THE EIP

Defining concepts

The following column headings are defined to assist the reader to understand the context in which they are used in the reporting

table.

Indicator Number: These numbers correspond with the indicator numbers assigned in Section 6 of the EIP

published on 2 October 2015.

Activities: The means identified for meeting the outcomes of the projects/ programmes/ plans that

have been identified in the EIP (Section 2) as those that may significantly affect the

environment.

Indicator: The commitment made in the EIP that contributes to a specific outcome/result.

Who is responsible: The particular function department/unit that is responsible for the described indicator.

Target: What needs to be achieved and by when.

Level of achievement: Progress made in implementation is reflected as quality measures (i.e. the state of

improvement or progress made in environmental management by various sector


11

departments) and/or quantity measures (i.e. a measurable product for example the

number of approved/disapproved Environmental Impact Assessments.)

Challenges/ Barriers/ Reasons for Deviation: Measures in place to address the existing problem or gap, including problems like lack

of capacity and resources. This column will also include new timeframes regarding

adjustments. Explanations for over-achievement of targets will also be included here.

Note: Adjustments to EIPs (highlighted in bold)

New priorities, not reflected in the Third Edition EIP, but that now form part of implementation, are reflected in this Compliance

Report. Adjustments are reflected in two places in the Compliance Report: (i) in Chapter 4, in the EIP indicator implementation

table below, in which actual progress is reflected; and (ii) in Chapter 5, where a summary or overview is presented of the type of

adjustments that have been made to implementation of the EIP.

EXPANDED INFORMATION FROM TABLE

Footnote (1)/ Indicator 63

Challenges with Capital Projects:

Scope of work increases on the projects. Better planning of projects to be implemented by Client Department and

Implementing Agent.


57

More compensation events (extra work requested by the Client Department - Contract Instructions).

Slow progress in some instances due to poor management by Contractor (penalties were applied).

New Framework agreement to be implemented.

Poor performance by main contractors, resulting in extension of the contract period and additional requests from clients /

user departments after the award of the contract, which leads to extended contract periods.

Improvement at the scope and definition stage is required to try and minimize the client/ user department changes.

Developing a revised norms and standards document which is more user friendly to try and standardise the designs for office

accommodation.

Initial targets are set well in advance of the IPMP and acceptance of the IPIP. Misalignment at this stage results in unrealistic

targets.

Delays in achieving Practical completion due to the delayed appointment of an AAIA agent.

Challenges with Maintenance Projects:

Client department increased scope requests after tenders have been awarded or contractor on site, which results in delays.

The additional scope has resulted in a number of Extension of Time Claims from the Contractors and planned targets being

exceeded.

Scope changes are authorised by the Project Leader, Programme Manager or Client Department, depending on the extent

of the scope of work and cost. Project leaders and Programme Managers need to ensure that the Client Departments provide

clear briefs and that the IDMS procedures with regard to briefs are applied to maintenance projects as well.

Unforeseen Scope increase during construction. Better planning of projects to be implemented by Client Department and

Implementing Agent.

Some maintenance contractors not capable of delivering projects within the stipulated time due to limited

experience/expertise, which results in potential contract cancellation and/or penalties levied.

Shortage of works inspectors results in capacity constraints.

5 SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO THE EIP

Below is a summary of the amendments to be effected with respect to the 3rd edition EIP as identified during the 2015/16 financial

year. These amendments will be carried forward into subsequent compliance reports. The categories of amendment used are as

follows:


58

Addition: A new indicator has been added.

Adjustment: The indicator or target has been changed by the responsible Department since the EIP was published in October 2015.

Correction: There was an error in the indicator or target as captured and published in the EIP, which has been corrected.

Removal: An indicator has been removed in its entirety.

Indicator Nature of

Amendment

Requested By Reason

2 ADJUSTMENT DEADP/

CapeNature

CapeNature and DEADP both produced a deliverable that falls under

this indicator during this financial year.

22 REMOVAL DEADP Currently not possible to respond to this indicator as a ranking system for

municipalities is not yet in place. This indicator can be reinstated once

system in place.

27 REMOVAL DT&PW This recommendation emanating from the WCIF was not translated into

an annual deliverable for DT&PW as it was deemed that evaluating the

delivery of infrastructure and their compliance with environmental issues

is covered directly by the other DT&PW indicators which are included in

the EIP.

30 REMOVAL DEADP Indicator to be removed due to duplication with Indicator No. 2.

33 REMOVAL DEADP Indicator to be removed due to duplication with Indicator No. 28.

44 CORRECTION DEADP Correction of target for the 2015/16 financial year. Was incorrectly

captured in EIP.

51 CORRECTION DEADP Target captured incorrectly in EIP and replaced as a percentage

achievement.


59

55 ADJUSTMENT DoA Target adjustment for the 5 year period 2015-2020. Target reduced due

to budget constraints.





58 ADJUSTMENT DoA Target adjustment for the 5 year period 2015-2020. Target increased due

to more severe weather conditions anticipated.

79 CORRECTION DEADP Correction to capture that Sector Plan and Monitoring and Evaluation

Report are separate deliverables, the former is required annually but the

latter is done quarterly but this is not obligatory.

88 CORRECTION DoHS Correction to target and indicator as current wording is not reflective of

the Departments annual deliverables.

89 ADJUSTMENT DoHS/StatsSA Indicator to be amended, as it is not an Annual Performance

deliverable of the DoHS as it currently stands. Still to be tracked via

StatsSA: General Household Service database.

98 CORRECTION DEADP Target years incorrectly typed in EIP. Correct years inserted.

100 ADJUSTMENT DEADP Targets incorrectly captured. Target is biannual and therefore

deliverable is only due next year. Future targets corrected.

6 SUMMARY OF TARGET ACHIEVEMENTS FOR 2015/16

With respect to Provincial Government’s implementation of the programmes, plans and policies that have a significant effect on the

environment of the Western Cape, 84.4% of the priority indicators included in the 3rd edition EIP were achieved or over-achieved for

the 2015/16 financial year. This leaves 15.6% of the indicators having been under-achieved.


60

Figure 2: Pie chart to illustrate the overall achievement of the indicator targets set for the 2015/16 financial year.

Some of the main reasons for over-achievement of targets were:

Demand driven targets e.g. environmental law enforcement investigations where a high number of complaints will lead to

a larger number of investigations and the exact number cannot be predicted.

Employment of additional staff enabled increased outputs.

Target achievement is dependent on voluntary action by members of the public e.g. payment of fines.

Training given to municipalities resulting in more reports of transgressions, pollution incidents etc.

Land secured for conservation being larger than targeted size.

Larger number of support services provided to clients related to agricultural disaster risk, as a result of the current drought.

More work opportunities created through environmental programmes as contract labour positions were filled in the place

of permanent appointments, which increases the number of employment opportunities accounted for on the project.

Additional requests for capacity building leading to larger numbers of events.

The reasons for under-achievement of targets were, in summary:


61

Demand driven targets e.g. no control over number of cases brought against the DEADP, however, the lower the total

number of cases against the department the better. Therefore the under-achievement for that indicator was desirable.

Other demand driven targets rely on the number of applications received by the public for processing.

Reduced human resource capacity in some Departments resulting in reduced ability to deliver on all projects. This

challenge may be exacerbated by budget constraints into the 2016/17 financial year across Provincial government.

Delays in information being received from the public in order to finalise various applications.

Procurement process related delays.

Budget constraints.

Amendment of the scope of a project after project initiation.

Clarification of DEA Norms and Standards before proceeding causing delay.

The introduction of a new target assessment tool that negatively affects the target assessment outcomes.

Release of property for regeneration is a long term process. Budget cuts have precluded further work in identifying new

opportunities with a focus on existing projects.

Less technology transfer events organized by agribusiness and other stakeholders.

Contractor challenges with capital and maintenance projects.

Projects not being completed in time, during period of review.

7 COMPLIANCE WITH EIP COMMITMENTS BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Section 16(4) of NEMA indicates that provinces are responsible for ensuring that all municipalities within the province comply with

the provincial EIP and the principles in Section 2 of NEMA in the preparation of any policy, programme or plan, including the

establishment of integrated development plans (IDPs). In the Western Cape this is done through the IDP review process, during

which the WCG ensures that municipal IDPs comply with all legislated requirements, as well as assessing the level of environmental

performance of the IDP. IDPs are a critical tool for ensuring that municipalities mainstream and budget for all environmental

obligations. Good and effective governance requires that all levels of government function in an integrated fashion. This is the

focus of PSG 5 of the Province and extensive effort is being exerted to improve alignment.


62

The DEADP is responsible for reviewing all 30 municipal IDPs on an annual basis for compliance with the legislative requirements

that relate to:

Spatial Development (including sustainability, climate change and biodiversity management)

Air Quality Management

Coastal Management

Waste Management

The results of DEADP’s review, as completed in May 2016, are summarised in Table 3 below to provide an indication only as to the

compliance status of the Municipalities. Table 3 has only made use of the ratings of “fully compliant”, “partially compliant”, “non-

compliant” or “not applicable” that were ascribed for the questions contained in the DEADP compliance checklist for the 2016

IDP/LG MTEC review period. This rating therefore does not illustrate the full picture of the detailed statuses and progress in the

individual municipalities. For a more detailed status and progress per Municipality, the following supplementary information from

the 2016 IDP/ LG MTEC Review Cycle must be consulted:

Final Published LG MTEC Assessment Reports: Budget & IDP Analysis, and

Final Collated Compliance Checklists

It is clear that 100% compliance with the full suite of requirements has not yet been achieved by any municipality, although the

District Municipalities (with the exception of Central Karoo District) and the City of Cape Town Metro have all achieved 100%

compliance with the Air Quality Management requirements which is commendable. It is apparent that most municipalities display

around 30% full compliance and around 30% partial compliance at this stage. Some legislative requirements, particularly with

respect to the spatial development section, are new requirements as stipulated in the Spatial Planning and Land Use

Management Act (No.16 of 2013) (SPLUMA) and these requirements only need to be fulfilled by a later date. Therefore full

compliance at this stage is not reasonable in all instances. The large percentage of questions ascribed to “Not applicable” in

some sections may be, for example, because the municipality is not responsible for the development of an Estuarine

Management Plan (EMP) and thus those questions do not apply. The DEADP provides ongoing support to municipalities with


63

respect to the areas of partial and non-compliance below. Even fully compliant municipalities will continue to receive ongoing

support from the DEADP. These support initiatives are reflected in the Chapter 4 table (Table 1) as indicators under the Policies,

Plans and Programmes to which they relate.

Table 3: Tabulated summary of DEADP’s IDP review results as taken from the final collated compliance checklists per municipality (It

must be noted that although this speaks to legislative compliance, DEADP is moving towards a more performance based analysis

as well as more outcomes based measure).

8 CONCLUSION

The first compliance report on the 3rd Edition EIP has revealed that the Province has achieved (and in some instances over-

achieved) 84.4% of the targets set for the 2015/2016 financial year with respect to all of the priority indicators. There is therefore a

shortfall of 15.6% of targets that were not reached. Detailed reasons for these shortfalls are provided in Table 1, and summarised

in Chapter 6, and have revealed that in many cases demand driven indicators or external factors prevented the responsible

Department from reaching a target. There is always room for improvement and the responsible Departments are requested to

focus their attention on the indicators for which targets were not met.

Capturing local authority compliance with the EIP in a similar format to Table 1 is a challenge as municipalities are already

assessed in terms of their environmental compliance during the extensive IDP review cycle which occurs annually. A summary of

the results of the DEADP IDP review process, focussing on Spatial Development, Air Quality Management, Coastal Management

and Waste Management, has been included this year as an indication of current levels of municipal compliance. This review is

based on legislative compliance. The desired end state is to shift to a more performance-based assessment in future.

The Western Cape EIP Annual Compliance Report 2015/16 is herewith submitted.
