Overstrand Municipality on Creating an Enabling Environment for the Private Sector

Summary
Ald Annelie Rabie outlines the municipality's initiatives to foster a mutually advantageous relationship with the private sector.
Since assuming office, they have organised an investment conference and established an investment policy with incentives that promote open dialogue between officials and developers. These interactions help extend mutual comprehension and tackle any impediments.
