• guide (metropolitan, district and local) municipal integrated development plans (IDPs) and spatial development frameworks (SDFs)and provincial and municipal framework plans (i.e. sub-SDF spatial plans).


• help prioritise and align investment and infrastructure plans of other provincial departments, as well as national departments' and parastatals' plans and programmes in the Province.


• provide clear signals to the private sector about desired development directions.


• increase predictability in the development environment, for example by establishing no-go, conditional and ‘go’ areas for development and, redress the spatial legacy of apartheid.
