"The position and extents of a parcel of land, usually the smallest unit of land that can be held under an individual lease without a requirement for further subdivision. URBAN blocks are defined as blocks that appear within a division and have division and section identifiers. RURAL blocks do not usually appear within a division, but may do so if they remain from before the division was created. Blocks may have a lifecycle stage or Proposed, Registered, Approved, Occupied or Retired.
PROPOSED: The block is proposed but has not reached any other stage.
REGISTERED: The block appears on a Deposited Plan that has been registered with the Land Titles Office.
APPROVED: The block appears on an Approved Plan that has been signed by the Territory Planning Section and the Project Officer for the development.
OCCUPIED: The block is leased, but does not appear on a registered plan. Leases over unregistered blocks may not be registered at the Land Titles Office, so this stage is used for unregistered blocks with unregistered leases. This normally only occurs in rural areas.
RETIRED: Retirement of a block occurs when it is replaced by another block.
Note that block boundaries may not always align exactly. The legal definition of a block is defined in the Deposited plan."
Note that this web service only contains Registered, Approved and Proposed blocks.

Notes
1. Smoking status in 2010 has been revised. Trend data may not match previously published results.
2. The calculation of drinking status and alcohol risk variables was updated for all years in 2019. Trend data may not match previously published results.
3. In 2016, pain-killer/pain-relievers and opioids sections were combined into one section and references and questions about use of non-opioid over-the-counter drugs such as paracetamol and aspirin were removed. Data are not considered comparable to previous survey waves.
4. The NDSHS offers introductory text for each class of drug, including examples of the drugs included. Examples for hallucinogens, inhalants and New and Emerging Psychoactive Substances were changed in 2019, which may have impacted trend results since 2016.
5. State results do not include data from the 8 Indigenous remote communities interviewed in the NT in 2019. These data are included in national estimates.
6. Age-standardisation has been revised in 2019. Trend data may not match previously published results.
