CoJ Development Planning has been granted permission by the national Department of Labour and Employment to access the Metro Link in order to retrieve refused building plan applications. The submitted building plans have been inaccessible since November 2020.

2021_02_09 Refused Files Update
Due to identified challenges, the Building Development Management directorate has initiated measures that will
be introduced in order to address the backlog of submitted building plan applications, through the following
process:
- Clients must provide a list of plan/s required to be uplifted from the Metro Link via email to
Emmanuelmu@joburg.org.za or MulaloN@joburg.org.za; or call on 011 407 6058 or 6061. As a last
alternative, the client may call Emmanuel Mutele on 081 374 3979, who will assist in facilitating the request. - The client may also call in person on the 6th floor of the Metro Centre for requesting the plans. They will be
able to make an appointment with the relevant plans examiner, should it be necessary, in order to obtain
assistance in dealing with specific items of refusal. - Please note that requested plans will not be available immediately, but instead, after two days to allow
officials time to search for it accordingly. - Clients must provide their contact details in order to be contacted once their building plan(s) are ready for
collection, to attend to the reasons for refusal, or in the unlikely event of us experiencing problems in
locating the plan – in which case, the customer will be notified if finding the plan will take longer than the
stipulated two days to find.
