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.

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.

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
Western Cape Government – 1st Annual Compliance Report on the 3rd Edition EIP – July 2016
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.

the report “Towards a
Rail Strategy for the
Western Cape”.
During the course of
2016/17 this strategy
will be developed into
a Rail Implementation
Programme, which will
identify specific
opportunities for the
Western Cape
Government to
support rail in the
Western Cape and will
identify priority rail
investment
interventions in the
Province, including
interventions in the
metropolitan area
where rail has
experienced
significant problems
and service
disruptions linked to
asset safety,
vandalism and theft.
A focus for the Metro
rail interventions will
therefore be on rail
safety and asset
planning of rail
interventions as
an opportunity to
enhance rail in
the province. In
addition, WCG
investment in
targeted rail
interventions,
particularly in the
Cape Town
metropolitan
area, is being
considered,
although fiscal
constraints and
institutional
challenges need
to be resolved.

DT&PW 2015/16:0 The PPTIF places
significant emphasis
on human capacity
and the establishment
of pragmatic and
implementable
institutional structures
that respond to the
challenges
experienced on the
ground whilst being
consistent with the
policy and legislative
direction. Specifically,
the PPTIF envisages
institutional structures
that allow for the joint
exercise of local
government public
and non-motorised
transport
responsibilities,
leveraging the
experience and
capabilities of the
provincial department
in this regard.
The PPTIF Strategy
will be considered

Executive
Committee
during the course
of 2016. Once
approval has
been granted,

is the current
fiscal and human

environment,
which
complicates the

Moreover, the PPTIF
has recommended a
restructuring of the
Department of
Transport and Public
Works (Public
Transport branch) to
create an incubator
function, for the
development of local
capacity to drive
public transport
transformation and
non-motorised public

In addition, the PPTIF
has a focus on

further challenge
is the recognition
that an

Challenges with Capital Projects:
Scope of work increases on the projects. Better planning of projects to be implemented by Client Department and
Implementing Agent.
Western Cape Government – 1st Annual Compliance Report on the 3rd Edition EIP – July 2016
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

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.

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

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.
Western Cape Government – 1st Annual Compliance Report on the 3rd Edition EIP – July 2016
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:
Western Cape Government – 1st Annual Compliance Report on the 3rd Edition EIP – July 2016
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.
Western Cape Government – 1st Annual Compliance Report on the 3rd Edition EIP – July 2016
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
Western Cape Government – 1st Annual Compliance Report on the 3rd Edition EIP – July 2016
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.
