The Information Services unit of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning offers an information service to internal and external clients through its Spatial Data Division.
The data catalogue consists of various spatial datasets in Shapefile format, covering various geographical features in the Western Cape. These are categorised for easy reference.
The spatial datasets are obtained from various sources and are available free of charge on written request. It will be made available on a compact disk (CD) in exchange for a blank CD, with the signing and handing in of a Spatial Data Agreement Form.
The Sub-Directorate offers a mapping service, which covers the Western Cape.
Maps must be paid for in cash or by cheque. Cheques must be made out to the Department of Environmental Affairs & Development Planning before delivery can take effect. Maps should be collected at the Sub-Directorate Information Services, 4 th Floor, Leeusig Building, 4 Leeuwen Street, Cape Town, or alternative delivery arrangements can be negotiated.
The Department wishes to share spatial information as widely as possible, but cannot be held responsible for any errors that may occur in the provided datasets. These datasets may not be sold in any form to any other body, institution or company outside your organisation.
