Rustenburg SDF Review - Development Focus Area (SDF) This map tests housing projects identified in the SDF in terms of how accessible these projects are to the CBD of the Municipality (essentially a test to see if proposals attempt a "compact city" design).From the map it is clear that the majority of projects would take longer than 25 minutes to access the CBD of City of Matlosana.

This map tests housing projects identified in the SDF in terms of how accessible these projects are to employment opportunities. Since mining is the major employer in the municipality, all active mines were used as origins. The map clearly indicates that a number of SDF residential proposals are located on the periphery of the municipality, more than 10 minutes away from employment opportunities.
