==Specifications== {{see also|Lanes and arcades of Melbourne}} All major streets are {{convert|1+1/2|chain|ft m|spell=in}} in width, while all blocks are exactly {{convert|10|chain|ft m}} square. The total dimensions, including widths of streets, are thus {{convert|93.5|chain|ft m}} by {{convert|47.5|chain|ft m}}. The grid's longest axis is oriented 70 degrees clockwise from true north, to align better with the course of the [[Yarra River]]{{Citation needed|date=June 2017}}. The majority of Melbourne is oriented at 8 degrees clockwise from true north - noting that magnetic north was 8.05Β° E in 1900, increasing to 11.7Β° E in 2009.<ref>[https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/magcalc.shtml Magnetic Declination]</ref>
