Last updated 2 years ago

Most households in Bergrivier area reside in formal dwellings (91,6 %) whilst 10 % of the households reside in either in informal, traditional and other dwellings in 2022. Access to formal dwellings increased by 16,1 % from 15 193 households in 2011 to 17 579 households in 2022 and by 19,7 % across the District over the same period.

Housing is a concurrent National and Provincial competency in terms Part A of Schedule 4 of the Constitution. Section 10 of the Housing Act, 1997 (Act 107 of 1997) sets out the responsibilities of municipalities in relation to the provision of housing. Housing is included in this section as a basic service as there is a direct correlation between the provision of basic services and housing. This correlation makes it a complex function that relies on high levels of cooperation between the Municipality and the Provincial and National Departments responsible for Housing. However, it needs to be emphasized that the municipality is only the implementing agent regarding housing and the management thereof. The table below provides an overview of these roles and responsibilities.

The Municipal Council approved a 10-year Human Settlements Pipeline in August 2018, which indicates how these backlogs will be jointly addressed over the next five to ten years, by the Municipality and the Provincial Department of Human Settlements. It is part of the municipality’s strategic intend to provide a number of housing opportunities in the 3 major towns, namely Porterville, Velddrif and Piketberg, as well as in the smaller towns such as Eendekuil, Aurora and Redelinghuys. Where necessary and feasible, and within the available resources, suitable land must be secured, and the provision of bulk services must be done on a proactive basis.
