## The encyclopaedia on it

Aidanfield is a suburb in the south-west of Christchurch, New Zealand, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the city centre. The land, which had been owned by the Good Shepherd Sisters since 1886, now incorporates the Mount Magdala Institute and the St John of God Chapel, which has a Category I heritage listing by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The first residents moved into the suburb in 2002. The developer caused controversy in 2007–2008 by applying to have a group of farm buildings demolished to allow for further subdivision. Christchurch City Council was widely criticised for approving the demolition despite the buildings having had a heritage listing in the Christchurch City Plan.

Population: Stats NZ 2023 Census Statistical Area 2 counts summed over the suburb’s own areas, as Wikipedia maps them; the area is measured from the suburb boundary.

## Living here

New bonds here ran at about **$750 a week** in the April–June 2026 quarter, the middle half $713–$825, across 12 bonds, flat on a year ago. That’s about **$200 a week above** the city’s own quarter median of $550. Tenancy Services counts these under the “Aidanfield” statistical area, close to this suburb’s outline, not exactly it.

## The record on Aidanfield
- Aidanfield enters the written record in 1 January 1920, [“Mount Magdala at Christchurch from the air”](https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/photos/id/52507), [Kura Heritage Collections Online](https://www.chch.live/collection/kura-heritage-collections-online).
- “Aidanfield” appears somewhere in 4 of the archive’s records.
- The first report here: parks, 10 June 2015, at Gabriel Grove.
- Its busiest day was 2 February 2025, 5 reports in a single day.
- The street that keeps coming up is [McMahon Drive](https://www.chch.live/street/aidanfield/mcmahon-drive), reported on 78 separate days.
- For elections the suburb’s centre falls inside [Halswell ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/halswell), the [Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton community board](https://www.chch.live/boards/halswell-hornby-riccarton) is its local layer. The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards).

## How fast the council fixes things here (1,774 finished jobs on record)

The median council work order pinned in Aidanfield took **7 days** to resolve, the city-wide median is 3 days, so this ground runs slower than the city as a whole.
The slowest tenth of finished jobs waited 3 months or longer.
58 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 2 June 2021.

Work orders, not resident reports, the council’s MyCouncilTicket stream, and one job can appear in both. A median counts only finished jobs; open ones are named as open, never averaged in. [The ticket roll](https://www.chch.live/fixed) · [the whole city’s fix times](https://www.chch.live/trends#fix).

## Alcohol rules on this ground

2 sensitive sites stand here, Aidanfield Christian School, Te Whānau o Ōtūmatua, and the Local Alcohol Policy restricts new off-licences within 200 m of them.

The council’s bylaw zones and the Local Alcohol Policy’s buffer list. A ban rules drinking in public places; it says nothing about whether a premises may sell, that is the licence register’s job.

## The ground that moved
The February 2011 survey drew mapped ground failure over 18.1% of this outline, about 27 hectares. A patch is a footprint, not a finding about an address; the count for the whole city is at [liquefaction](https://www.chch.live/liquefaction).
The 2011 grading filed 50.6% of this outline, about 75 hectares, mostly **TC2**. A category is a verdict for a patch of ground, not a finding about an address; the grades are at [technical-categories](https://www.chch.live/technical-categories).
The flood record drew water over 1.1% of this outline, across 1 named event. A patch is one event’s observation, not a live hazard finding; the record is at [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods).
The plan’s schedule of sites significant to Ngāi Tahu covers **3%** of this outline, ngā wai. Shares read from a sampled join; a recognition overlay, not a catalogue. The whole schedule: [cultural](https://www.chch.live/cultural).
The plan’s ecological schedules cover **5%** of this outline, about 7 hectares across **1** scheduled site, all of it protected under Schedule A. Shares read from a sampled join; a recognition overlay, not a survey. The whole ledger: [ecology](https://www.chch.live/ecology).
The plan’s landscape schedules cover **4%** of this outline, about 6 hectares across **1** scheduled area. Shares read from a sampled join; a protection overlay, not a ranking of views. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape).
The plan’s noise overlays cover **40%** of this outline, about 60 hectares across **1** mapped overlay, and inside the airport’s bird-strike buffer. Shares read from a sampled join; a planning line, not a meter’s reading. The quiet lines: [noise](https://www.chch.live/noise).
The plan’s water-margin layers cross this outline, **14** classified reaches, the plan calling **Dunbar Waterway** and **Heathcote / Opawaho River**
           by name, **4%** of it inside the setback strips, the widest holding **20 m** off the bank, and an esplanade line holds a public edge here. The margin is the plan’s drawing, not a survey of the bank. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin).
The plan’s allowed shape holds this outline, **27%** of it inside the residential overlays, the densest standing **Medium Density**. The shape is the plan’s permission, not a survey of what stands. The allowed shape: [density](https://www.chch.live/density).
The rebuild’s cameras filed **376** photographs on this ground, 2011–2012, wastewater work mostly. Each frame is a receipt the dig left behind, a work log, not a survey of what stands now. The whole record: [rebuild](https://www.chch.live/rebuild).
The pedal network threads this ground, **3.3 km** of cycleway crosses the outline. A segment counts under every suburb its path enters; the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways).
The remembered names stand on this ground, **1** inscribed plaque, [Dunbars Landscape Reserve](https://www.chch.live/plaque/37859-dunbars-landscape-reserve) among the grounds. The plaque is the register’s pin, not a surveyed spot; the whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques).
The rulebook binds this ground, **3** drawn instruments, 3 bottle-store buffers; the outline sits inside the takiwā of Te Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga. The bylaw is the instrument, this the map of it, the rulebook: [rules](https://www.chch.live/rules).
**1** parcel inside this outline sits on the hazardous-activities register, mostly any other land that has been subject to the intentional or accidental release of a hazardous substance in sufficient quantity that it could be a risk to human health or the environment. A listing records the work, not a soil test; the register is at [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards).
The files record **129** parcels of made or characterised ground inside this outline, about 41 hectares, mostly silt, topsoil, engineered fill, 1 carry fill the file can’t vouch for. A record is the file’s word on what was laid, not a fresh survey; the layer is at [fill](https://www.chch.live/fill).
**1** parcel inside this outline carries a cleanup on the file. A cleanup on the file is the register’s word, not a clearance; the register is at [remediated](https://www.chch.live/remediated).
The 2019 liquefaction study put **68%** of this outline in the **medium** class. A class is the model’s verdict on a patch of ground, not a finding about an address; the study is at [vulnerability](https://www.chch.live/vulnerability).
The council’s structure register stands **12** assets on this ground, 9 bridges, 2 shelters, 1 boardwalk, sited at Dunbars Landscape Reserve, Aidanfield Reserve, Dunbars Reserve, Bishops Green. Site names are the register’s own labels; the layer is drawn on [the map](https://www.chch.live/map?layer=structures).
The register counts **2240** living trees inside this outline, **5** veterans among them, mostly Yoshino Cherry, Pin Oak, Tulip tree. The file remembers **288** trees felled here. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands or stood; the canopy is at [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees).
The plan files **35%** of this outline under **Residential Suburban**, **60%** residential, the rest mostly Medium density residential zone 25%, Transport 21%. A zone is a permission, not a description, the mix is a sampled read of the plan’s polygons; the district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones).
The plan reserves about **16 hectares** of this outline, **10%** , under 4 designations, mostly learning, movement. A designation is a claim on the ground, not a build date, the mix is a sampled read; the register is at [designations](https://www.chch.live/designations).
The plan’s exceptions touch **8%** of this outline, 2 qualifying matters, mostly heritage. A matter narrows how the density rule applies, it does not forbid; the mix is a sampled read, and the cultural-significance areas are the plan’s own unnamed ones. The register is at [matters](https://www.chch.live/matters).
The plan’s heritage schedule protects **1** place by name in this suburb, **1** graded highly significant, **Former Mount Magdala Chapel/ St John of God Chapel and Setting**. A setting is the ground the item stands in, each files under the suburb holding its centroid. The schedule is at [heritage](https://www.chch.live/heritage).
