SmartMun Land Application Manager

Overview & Benefits

The effective management of land applications represents an aspect of municipal service delivery that has direct impact on local investment and employment opportunities. Land applications fall into the following categories: 

Rezoning, Subdivision, Special consent, Departure, Sales, Leases, Site development plan, Acquisition of land and Sectional title

The processes involved for each application type are prescribed by national law, very complex, and involve a substantial number of staff members. The task of processing these applications in a manner that is not only legally compliant, but also within clearly defined, acceptable time frames represents a formidable challenge in many municipalities where no suitable IT systems are in place to assist in this task. This in turn often leads to large and increasing backlogs of applications, excessive response times, dissatisfaction among applicants, and ultimately in the loss of investment, employment opportunities and revenue for affected municipalities.

The SmartMun Land Application Manager has been developed explicitly to assist southern African local government organisations with the effective, paperless management of their land applications in a manner that is legally compliant while also monitoring the performance and response time of all the key role players. Some of the benefits of introducing the SmartMun Land Application Manager to your administration are as follows:

  • Streamlined, paperless workflows to ensure that due process is followed at all times
  • An always up-to-date overview of where all applications are in the process
  • Every application can be located within seconds
  • Electronic alerts automatically draw management’s attention to bottlenecks, backlogs, and incidences of breach of policy
  • Improved legal compliance
  • Improved response times
  • Improved levels of municipal service delivery
