The Land-use Legislation and Application Management (LULAM) Section is responsible for:
1. the management and maintenance of the Tshwane Town-planning Scheme, 2008;
2. the processes relating to land-use applications; and
3. the naming and renaming of public places and street names.
The Section manages and maintains the Tshwane Town-Planning Scheme of 2008 and the information pertaining to land-use rights (zonings, consent uses and permissions) which forms a critical component of the valuation system.
To assist the public and consultants in submitting land-use applications in accordance with the correct legislation, and to advise them on the documentation that must accompany these applications, the Section has manuals available on all the types of land-use applications. It must be noted that various sets of legislation regulate the submission of land-use applications. The Section revises the tariffs and documents related to these applications each year and ensures that the application processes proceed smoothly and expeditiously. A new electronic processing system for the administration of land-use applications is being developed.
