Town planning in Durban

Durban and surrounding areas such as Umhlanga, Pinetown and Amanzimtoti fall within eThekwini Municipality.

Responsible municipality

eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality (metropolitan municipality). Also referred to as eThekwini.

How applications work here

  • Applications are submitted to eThekwini Municipality, which decides them under its own municipal planning by-law and land-use scheme.
  • Application forms, fees and submission requirements are set by the municipality and change from time to time; we confirm them for each matter.
  • Title deed conditions are reviewed separately from zoning, as they can restrict a use even where zoning allows it.
