A6.5.15 Growth Zone
For information in files (district)_growthzone.dra (in the SDF folder):
This defines the annual growth rate of all settlement per zone. Styles can be 1,2,3..., but strict syntax is required for the display labels in form of a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h, where:
a is growth rate of grade 1 and 2 settlements in near future (e.g. - 2023),
b of grade 3 settlements in near future (e.g. - 2023),
c of grade 4 settlements in near future (e.g. - 2023),
d of grade 5+ settlements in near future (e.g. - 2023),
e of grade 1 and 2 settlements in further future (e.g. 2023-2033),
f of grade 3 settlements in further future (e.g. 2023-2033),
g of grade 4 settlements in further future (e.g. 2023-2033),
h of grade 5+ settlements in further future (e.g. 2023-2033),
e.g. 4.6-5.3-4.1-3.7-4-5-4.5-4).

A6.5.18 Single Area Coverage Maps
Following maps are only to indicate the coverage and have therefore only style: 1

SDF Area, for files (District)_SDFarea.dra
Structure Plan Area, for files (District)_StrPlarea.dra
Sector Layout Overview Map, for files (District)_SLoverview.dra

A6.5.19 User-Defined Consecutive Class Numbering
For any additional, non-standard maps with a specific classification, these classes should be documented in a TXT file in the same directory as the main DRA file.
In most cases, these will be consecutive numbers.
Examples:
Neighbourhood
Councils
Soil series or associations
Population density
They use the style file Default.stl'.

Technical note for other master data:
- Keep the regional census data as the master database, where all data are entered to and from where the district database will be derived.
- For permit data there is only one database, which is at the district level (There is no 'regional permit database').
