The South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) has launched a High Court application against the City of Joburg (“the City”) interdicting it from applying the 2021 Development Contributions Policy (DCP), and declaring amongst other things that the City may not impose any condition on the granting of a land development application which requires the applicant to pay a development charge or contribution relating to services and/or infrastructure other than required by the development to which the application relates.
