StreetLink is about connecting streets to administrative areas.
StreetLink is made up of two parts:
Streets file
The Streets file is an electronic list of address ranges and street names that fall within meshblocks. The Streets file is used to geocode addresses to meshblocks. This enables users to analyse businesses, trends and the like, in any of the geographic areas in the Areas file. The Streets file is updated on a monthly basis with information on new or altered streets and other land developments.

Areas file
The Areas file is an electronic list that classifies meshblocks into larger geographic areas, such as area units, territorial authorities and regional councils. The Areas file, also known as a concordance file, provides a mapping of the geographic hierarchies so you can see how the various geographic boundaries link together.
For each meshblock, there is a series of codes that link to any meshblock-defined geographic areas. All areas are set as at 1 January of the specified year. Concordance files are available from differing years, to enable data for the same area classification to be compared over time. A concordance file is useful to geographic information system (GIS) users.
Currently available are the 2006 Census Areas, 2009 Annual Areas and 2010 Annual Areas.
