Gemeente Oud-Turnhout

What Gemeente Oud-Turnhout does

Gemeente Oud-Turnhout is the local municipal government for the village of Oud-Turnhout in the province of Antwerp, Belgium, currently led by Mayor Peter Hannes. The municipality delivers the standard portfolio of Flemish local-government services: civil registration and identity documents (Burgerzaken), urban planning and building permits, waste collection under the volume-based Diftar system, recycling-park operations, mobility and public works, OCMW social welfare, youth and senior services, public safety coordination, and cultural and leisure programming (notably OC De Djoelen and the UiT in Oud-Turnhout activities platform). It operates as a public-sector entity under Belgian municipal law, with governance provided by the gemeenteraad, the college van burgemeester en schepenen, and the OCMW raad voor maatschappelijk welzijn.

The municipality's technology footprint is conventional for a Flemish gemeente: an LCP-based public website (www.oud-turnhout.be) with a Digitaal Loket self-service portal, cookie-consent management, Google Analytics, and integration with the Flemish government's Mijn Burgerprofiel citizen-profile API. Audio recordings of council and welfare-council meetings (audioverslag) and online decision publication via raadpleeg-oud-turnhout.onlinesmartcities.be extend transparency. Intergovernmental data exchange is conducted via formal protocols with Fluvius (energy poverty, LAC dossiers), Agentschap Binnenlands Bestuur (refugee registration), Agentschap Justitie en Handhaving (enforcement platform), the Leersteuncentrum, and the Platform voor Overlijdensadministratie, with external DPO services provided by Welzijnszorg Kempen (IOK).

Financially, Gemeente Oud-Turnhout is funded through municipal taxes, Flemish and federal government allocations, and service fees (e.g., document attestations, building permits, Diftar charges); traditional commercial revenue reporting does not apply. The strategic agenda for 2026-2031 is set out in the multi-year plan "Leef, Beleef, Verbind," and engagement with residents is delivered through website, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), email newsletters, a printed infomagazine, and participatory public consultations.
