Kouga Municipality will be holding community consultation meetings in all wards this April to present the draft Integrated Development Plan and draft budget for the new financial year to residents.

The draft documents were adopted by the DA led Kouga Council on Friday, March 29.

Executive Mayor Horatio Hendricks encouraged all residents and stakeholder groups to attend the meetings.

“It is an opportunity for citizens to give their input about the proposed tariff increases and the projects that have been earmarked for funding in the upcoming 2019/2020 financial year,” he said.
