BEITBRIDGE Rural District Council will soon embark on a Geographic Information System (GIS) Data Collection Exercise across the district as part of efforts to improve planning and service delivery.
The council’s chief executive officer, Mrs Kiliboni Mbedzi, said in a recent public notice that the survey will collect and update spatial information on properties, developments, public infrastructure, community facilities, roads and other key features within its jurisdiction.
She said the exercise is aimed at supporting effective planning, development control and informed decision-making.
“The updated data will help the local authority to better map service gaps, monitor infrastructure, and respond quickly to community needs,” said Mrs Mbedzi in the notice.
“Kindly note that the exercise is strictly for planning, mapping, service delivery and Council management purposes. It does not, by itself, constitute approval or regularisation of any development.”
The local authority called on residents and property owners to cooperate with authorised council officials, provide accurate information when asked, and allow reasonable access to properties for data collection.
Mrs Mbedzi urged members of the public to report any persons conducting the exercise without proper authorisation.
She said the adoption of GIS technology is a major step towards modernising how the council manages land and delivers services.
“Accurate spatial data is expected to improve water, road, health and education facility planning across the district’s 22 wards,” said Mrs Mbedzi.
