Abstract
There is an increasing sense of urgency in South Africa to seek a proper and effective
planning system which is line with the current thinking, there is a need therefore to
regenerate land use management systems to suit the new ethos for planning. The new
ethos require a moral justification of planning to openly support the principles of the
integrated approach to reconstruction and development via legislation.The Development Facilitation Act, with respect to inter-relatedness with the fundamental principles of the Reconstruction Development Programme, sets out a new planning environment through the Land Development Objectives. The DFA therefore provides a useful point of departure on which to build land management systems.This therefore, implies that land development objectives provide an opportunity as planning new tools to manage and guide land use development and management systems in a manner that supports the new ethos. It is the ... of this discourse to evaluate land development objectives as part of a frame to guide land use management systems for development planning in South Africa.
