Western Cape Government Department of Environmental Affairs & Development Planning
The Western Cape Government works in co-operation with the National Government of South Africa to create laws for and provide services to the people of the Western Cape.
"We work closely with the national government and municipalities in the Western Cape to ensure that the citizens of the province have access to the services, facilities and information they need. We are committed to delivering an open opportunity society for all. The role of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, within the Western Cape Government, is two-fold, safeguarding the natural environment of the Western Cape for future generations while sustainably developing the landscape in which we live."
