MARIENTAL – The Municipality of Mariental has made ample provision for service delivery projects and empowering programmes serving the best interests of its residents.
During an exclusive interview with New Era, acting CEO Martin Tobias said emphasis was placed during budgetary discussions to improve access to housing, water, electricity and sewerage, whilst provision was also made to tackle poverty and unemployment by driving local job creation through their strategic Local Economic Development (LED) policy.
“Council has also officially approved the new Mariental Zoning Scheme and the twenty-year Mariental Structure Plan (2024–2044), with consultants now notified to begin with the next steps towards implementation,” he explained. Tobias continued: “These key approvals lay the legal and developmental groundwork for the town’s future growth, guiding how Mariental will physically expand while ensuring all future land use is properly managed and organised.’’
