Important Note: This item is in mature support as of January 2024 and will retire in January 2025. When you need the most recent boundary layer please use this item. When you need the boundaries for a specific year, please use this item and set a filter on the required year. Topicality: 01-01-2018 Projection: New Zealand Transverse Mercator (NZTM) This layer is based on the dataset Meshblock 2018 (MB2018) from Stats NZ. Stat NZ maintains an annual meshblock pattern for collecting and producing statistical data. This allows data to be compared over time. A meshblock is the smallest geographic unit for which statistical data is collected and processed by Stats NZ. A meshblock is defined by a geographic area, which can vary in size from part of a city block to a large area of rural land. The official dataset can be found on https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz. This layer contains the following attributes (see data tab): Meshblock number Meshblock name Total area in square kilometers Total land area in square kilometers The layer is further generalised by Eagle Technology for improved performance on the web, therefore it doesn't fully represent the official boundaries. This layer is offered by Eagle Technology (Official Esri Distributor). Eagle Technology offers services that can be used in the ArcGIS platform. The Content team at Eagle Technology updates the layers on a regular basis and regularly adds new content to the Living Atlas.
