# What stood on this ground?

The heritage register’s answer within 2000m of -43.43795, 172.63668, 5 places 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 [Belfast](https://www.chch.live/belfast) and in the [Harewood ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/harewood), Aaron Keown'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 2.0km from this point, a M3.4 on 21 September 2010, 8 km deep, labelled "5 km north of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3375731)). none within a kilometre, 14 within five, 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 **Residential Suburban** (RS), the residential 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 19.9km 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, **21** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2013, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 32 m away, an access shot, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/WWMH12477_12477_20140129115324.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 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).

No named scheduled area covers this point, though it sits inside a Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan silent-file precinct, the plan flags culturally sensitive ground here while deliberately withholding the specific sites. The whole schedule: [cultural](https://www.chch.live/cultural).

## The marae and the old grounds

The nearest marae on the roll is [Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-ora-hou), wharenui Te Iho o te Ora, 7.4km from this point (Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi, a kaupapa Māori youth and whānau organisation). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Kaiapohia, Kaiapoi Pā**, north of the Waimakariri, near Waikuku, 4.6km 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 13.8km 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**, River plain and channel deposits, observed performance variable and uncertainty in liquefaction performance due to effects of layered silty soil profiles. 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 14.3km 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 **5** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **2** veterans, 3 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Maiden's Gum** (*globulus*), 29 m tall, 1.61 m through, a crown 24 m across, carrying a district plan protection, 176m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees).

## 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. If the record has this ground wrong, the corrections door is open: https://www.chch.live/corrections
