Streets file
The streets file is a list of address ranges and street names that fall within meshblocks. You can use the streets file to geocode addresses to meshblocks, in order to analyse businesses or trends in any of the annual Geographic area files.
Please note: Following the 22 Febuary 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the streets file has not been updated. Notification will be posted when this changes.
