# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 2000m of -43.40382, 172.67022, 1 place on record, nearest first. A register listing is a lead to follow, not by itself a claim. Distances are to each place’s recorded pin, not its boundary. The point falls inside [Kainga](https://www.chch.live/kainga) and in the [Coastal ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/coastal), Celeste Donovan's seat, measured against the drawn boundaries, not the side its address is described as. The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards). The nearest break GeoNet recorded sits 748m from this point, a M3.4 on 18 September 2010, 5 km deep, labelled "10 km north of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3373805)). 1 magnitude-3+ epicentre sits within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M4.5 on 14 February 2016, 8 km deep. An epicentre is where the instruments placed the break, not where the shaking was felt; the whole catalogue is at [sequence](https://www.chch.live/sequence) and the story in plain language is [the earthquakes explainer](https://www.chch.live/how-nz-works/canterbury-earthquakes). The Crown’s 2011 classification left this point outside the residential red zone. The whole boundary is at [redzone](https://www.chch.live/redzone). The district plan files this ground as **Open Space Community Parks** (OCP), the open space family. A zone is a permission, not a description, the whole district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones). The 2011 grading never reached this point, the categories ran over the flat residential land. The grades are at [technical-categories](https://www.chch.live/technical-categories). The nearest mapped fault trace sits 17.0km from this point, part of the Ashley Fault Zone. A drawn trace is the record of where the ground broke or deformed, not a prediction for this address, the mapped faults are at [faults](https://www.chch.live/faults). No recorded dump under this point, the council’s landfill layer keeps the old tips on the books and this isn’t one. The ones that are, from 1880 on: [landfills](https://www.chch.live/landfills). No recorded flood patch reaches this point, the layer keeps the water it saw and never drew it here. The ground it did draw: [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods). The rebuild photographed this ground, **38** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 43 m away, an access shot from 2013-07-24, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/WWMH17378_SSMH17378B_20130725 112203.jpg). A work log filed as the dig went on, not a survey of what stands today. The whole record: [rebuild](https://www.chch.live/rebuild). The plaque register puts a dedication about **0 m** from this point, it reads “RIVERLEA ESTATES RESERVE THIS RESERVE WAS DONATED TO THE PEOPLE OF CHRISTCHURCH BY RIVERLEA ESTATES INC. (1980–2007)”, standing on Riverlea Estates Reserve, commissioned 2009. 2 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 2 named grounds. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, inside the takiwā of Te Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga. The bylaw is the instrument, this is the register’s drawing of it, thinned to ~4 m. The whole rulebook: [rules](https://www.chch.live/rules). ## The marae and the old grounds The nearest marae on the roll is [Tuahiwi Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/tuahiwi), wharenui Maahunui II, 8.2km from this point (Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, the mana whenua of Christchurch). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Kaiapohia, Kaiapoi Pā**, north of the Waimakariri, near Waikuku, 1.3km away, the great fortified capital of Ngāi Tahu, Tūrākautahi's pā, sacked by Te Rauparaha in 1832 after a siege of months; its fall is why the rūnanga moved to Tuahiwi. The whole roll: [maraes](https://www.chch.live/maraes), a record of what the file says, not a claim on this point. No hazardous-activities listing reaches this point, the register keeps the parcels where contaminating work ran, and this isn’t one. The ones that are: [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards). No fill parcel reaches this point, the files keep the ground that was made, and this isn’t filed as made. The parcels that are: [fill](https://www.chch.live/fill). The rockfall survey’s nearest pin sits 17.2km from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes. A pin is where the survey saw the rock, not a promise about the slope, the survey: [boulders](https://www.chch.live/boulders). ## What the model says The 2019 liquefaction vulnerability study draws this ground as **Liquefaction Damage is Possible**, Dune related deposits, liquefaction performance is well characterised by observed performance and investigations elsewhere in the geomorphology. A district-scale screening read, not a finding about an address, the study itself says site-specific analysis confirms a parcel. The whole study: [vulnerability](https://www.chch.live/vulnerability). ## The armour The nearest engineered defence sits 17.8km away, a rock cable installed 2011. Nearly all are the emergency works the quake years left standing; the file’s condition rating is its own word, not a fresh inspection. The register: [defences](https://www.chch.live/defences). ## The canopy The register counts **1** notable tree within half a kilometre of this point, **1** veteran, the nearest is **Pekin Willow** (*matsudana*), 15 m tall, 0.8 m through, a crown 17 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2014, 384m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). ## What the record says ### [The Cream House](https://www.chch.live/place/579) 1836m from your point 40 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [The Cream House](https://www.chch.live/place/579), 1836m · 183 Main North Road Kaiapoi ## How this answer is made The register this asks is the district-plan heritage schedule and the Heritage New Zealand list, scheduled places, not everything that stood here.
