Local town planning

    Town Planner in Gauteng

    Town planning services across Gauteng's municipalities - City of Tshwane, City of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and surrounding local municipalities.

    Gauteng isn't governed by a single land use scheme. It has three metropolitan municipalities - City of Tshwane, City of Johannesburg and City of Ekurhuleni - plus the West Rand and Sedibeng district municipalities and their local municipalities. Each runs its own land use scheme under SPLUMA, with its own forms, process and timelines. If you need town planners in Gauteng, Landlodz works with SACPLAN-registered professionals across the province.

    Why the municipality matters, not just the province

    Because each Gauteng municipality runs its own scheme, “a Gauteng rezoning” isn't a single process. A rezoning in Tshwane and one in Johannesburg use different forms, municipal fees and review processes even though both fall under SPLUMA. The first step for any Gauteng property is confirming exactly which municipality it falls under.

    FAQ

    Does Gauteng have one town planning scheme?+

    No. Each municipality within Gauteng - Tshwane, Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and the local municipalities under West Rand and Sedibeng - administers its own land use scheme.

    Which municipality handles my area?+

    It depends on exactly where the property is. If you are unsure, a Landlodz-connected town planner in Gauteng can confirm the responsible municipality during the initial consultation.

    Do fees and timelines differ between Gauteng municipalities?+

    Yes, significantly. Each municipality sets its own fee schedule and follows its own review process and typical timelines, so town planners in Gauteng must work from the correct local scheme and tariff.
