GMT tabled a Strategic Plan before Parliament during 2015. This plan was developed by the management of GMT and management of the Department of Transport and Public Works under the guidance of MEC Donald Grant. The plan was guided by the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) which reflects political priorities. The plan takes into account all relevant policies, legislation and other mandates for which the Department of Transport and Public Works is responsible. It also accurately reflects the strategic goals and objectives which GMT residing under the Department of Transport and Public Works will endeavor to achieve over the period 2015 – 2020. The GMT strategic plan was the result of a strategic planning session by the Western Cape Provincial Cabinet cascading to Departmental, Branch and GMT strategic planning sessions, culminating in The GMT Strategic Plan. This process was initiated to improve alignment between the GMT Strategic Plan, the three year Annual Performance Plan and the Medium Term Budget Statement.
