The Committee noted a lack of integrated planning between the DoPW, provinces and municipalities which resulted in delays of service delivery. To this end, it was proposed that a planning committee inclusive of officials from the national, provincial and local government be established. It was also noted that the DoPW requested adjusted budgets without having adequate plans in place for spending the additional funding. Concern was expressed at the slow expenditure of the EPWP programme given its potential contribution on job creation which was a priority of government. In addition, it was stated that the DoPW needed to do things differently to enhance job creation to which it undertook to furnish Parliament with a comprehensive report thereon. The point was made that this report be inclusive of how the Department of Public Works would assist the smaller municipalities financially since most of them did not have the funding for it. Reference was made to Inner City Re-generation, especially the Re Kgabisa Tswane Accommodation Programme, and it was felt that the DoPW was piloting projects for extensive periods of time.
