Infrastructure Development Act (No. 23).pdf

Summary

This government gazette details South Africa's Infrastructure Development Act, 2014, outlining its purpose to prioritise and coordinate significant public infrastructure projects for economic and social benefit. The Act establishes the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC) and its supporting structures, including a Council, Management Committee, and Secretariat, all working to facilitate and expedite the implementation of designated strategic integrated projects (SIPs). It further defines requirements for SIPs, lists existing projects, and sets out procedures and timelines for approvals, environmental assessments, and project management to ensure efficient infrastructure development across various sectors. The legislation also addresses ethical considerations for committee members and promotes national development goals like local industrialization and job creation through these projects.
