Gemeente Oisterwijk

What Gemeente Oisterwijk does

Gemeente Oisterwijk is a Dutch municipality (gemeente) in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands, providing public administration, civil-registry, permitting, social-support, and infrastructure services to residents and businesses across four towns: Oisterwijk, Moergestel, Haaren, and Heukelom. Under the 2026-2030 coalition agreement 'Richting met Ruimte' between PGB, VVD, and D66, the municipality is administered by Mayor Hans Janssen, Gemeentesecretaris Judith Koppers – van der Krabben, and three aldermen with portfolios covering the social domain, finance, and spatial planning.

The municipality operates a multi-website digital ecosystem anchored at www.oisterwijk.nl and integrated with Fixi (citizen public-space reporting), iBurgerzaken and TriplEforms (DigiD-authenticated e-forms), Notubiz (council information), the Omgevingsvisie spatial-planning platform, three neighborhood portals (AllemaalOisterwijk, Haareneen, OnsMoergestel), and Matomo privacy-friendly analytics — all compliant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA under the Tijdelijk besluit digitale toegankelijkheid overheid. Services are delivered through the appointment-based Gemeentekantoor (De Lind 44), three Loket Wegwijs walk-in service points distributed across Haaren, Moergestel, and Oisterwijk (co-located with the Bibliotheek's Informatieplein), plus social channels on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Funding derives from municipal taxes (OZB, afvalstoffenheffing, rioolheffing, forensenbelasting, reclamebelasting), national allocations, and statutory fees for permits, civil documents, and licenses; concessions and kwijtschelding are available for qualifying residents. The fiscal year 2026 is operationally significant: a renovated municipal office opens at Burgemeester Verwielstraat 6 in Q4, the Den Domp community center is being built in Haaren, an EV-charging pilot is running jointly with Vattenfall (Aug 2026 – Jan 2027), and public lighting is being replaced with LED across Moergestel and Oisterwijk centers — all concurrent with an organizational shift to activity-based working. The municipality outsources operational delivery to a network of strategic partners including ContourdeTwern (welfare), Discriminatie.nl, CIT Regio Hart van Brabant (crisis response), and UWV (employment services).

Direct peers

• Gemeente Tilburg: Direct neighbor and larger North Brabant municipality sharing the same provincial context, BRP, Wmo, and Omgevingswet responsibilities. Serves as the regional comparison benchmark for A&O fonds Gemeenten HR metrics that Oisterwijk is measured against.
• Gemeente 's-Hertogenbosch: Regional capital of North Brabant operating the same Dutch municipal mandate (BRP, vergunningen, Wmo, jeugdhulp) under the same Wetten framework. Provides an upper-bound comparison on service digitization, social domain scale, and omgevingsvisie implementation.
• Gemeente Waalwijk: Mid-sized North Brabant municipality under the same Hart van Brabant / CIT regional crisis-response partnership. Comparable in service breadth and population scale, especially relevant for benchmarking social domain outcomes.
• Gemeente Vught: Compact North Brabant municipality where wethouder Fons Potters previously served. Closely comparable in population, tax base, and social domain scale, making it a natural reference for governance and service-delivery comparisons.
• Gemeente Hilvarenbeek: Small, adjacent North Brabant municipality with a comparable population profile and rural-urban mix. Closest like-for-like peer in scale, service portfolio, and HR benchmarking cohort for Oisterwijk.
• Gemeente Goirle: Small adjacent municipality sharing Oisterwijk's Tilburg-plus region geography and identical municipal mandate (BRP, Wmo, omgevingsvergunningen). Comparable in scale and use case as a near neighbor across the same service categories.

Broad incumbents

• VNG (Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten): National association representing all Dutch municipalities, providing shared ICT, policy, and benchmarking frameworks (including the A&O fonds HR monitor). Functions as the umbrella organization that consolidates best practices and shared services for municipalities like Oisterwijk.
• Gemeente Eindhoven: Largest North Brabant municipality delivering the full Dutch municipal mandate but at substantially greater scale. Useful broader-incumbent reference for advanced digital services, omgevingswet implementation, and innovation pilots that may eventually filter down to Oisterwijk.
