# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.50384, 172.67202, nothing scheduled in the register here. 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 [Burwood](https://www.chch.live/burwood) and in the [Burwood ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/burwood), Kelly Barber'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 959m from this point, a M3.1 on 26 December 2010, 6 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3454018)). 1 magnitude-3+ epicentre sits within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M4.6 on 26 December 2010, 7 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). A qualifying matter touches this ground, **Waste Water Constraint Area**, filed under infrastructure. A matter narrows how the density rule applies, it does not forbid. The register is at [matters](https://www.chch.live/matters). 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 25.2km from this point, part of the Greendale Fault. 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). This point sits inside a recorded dump, Burwood Park, tipped 1899–1923, which the record describes as tins, boilers, pipes.. The council’s own note: *General rubbish, dead animals, destructor waste.*. A recorded dump is where the ground was filled, not a finding about this address, the whole buried city is at [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, **41** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2014, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 254 m away, an access shot from 2012-03-12, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWMH16458_16458_20120313 103620.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 cycleway layer files a **cycle lane** about **303 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 0.2 km of network. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways). The plaque register puts a dedication about **0 m** from this point, standing on Burwood Park Playground Monume, commissioned 2009. It is the only inscribed plaque within a short walk. 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 [Ngā Hau e Whā National Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/nga-hau-e-wha), wharenui Aoraki, 2.9km from this point (Te Rūnanga o Ngā Maata Waka, whose national marae is open to Māori of every iwi). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōtautahi, Tautahi's kāinga**, the Avon Loop, near Oxford Terrace and Barbadoes Street, 3.4km away, the seasonal camp of Tautahi, the chief the city is named for and son of Huikai of Koukourārata, on the Avon Loop. The whole roll: [maraes](https://www.chch.live/maraes), a record of what the file says, not a claim on this point. This point sits on the hazardous-activities register, *Cemeteries and waste recycling, treatment and disposal* (former, unverified). A listing records the work that ran here, not a soil test, the whole register: [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards). The files say this ground was made or characterised, *Mixed Fill with Rubbish* (unvouched fill). A record is the file’s own word on what was laid, not a fresh survey, the whole layer: [fill](https://www.chch.live/fill). The rockfall survey’s nearest pin sits 6.3km 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 **Medium Liquefaction Vulnerability**, Dune related deposits which are usually well characterised by observed performance, CPT investigations and simplified liquefaction analyses. 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 6.7km 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 **83** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **63** veterans, 20 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Lombardy Poplar** (*nigra*), 29 m tall, 1 m through, a crown 8 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2005, 19m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). No scheduled place sits within 250m of this point. Widened to 2 km, the nearest on record is [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/33), 1493m away, 72 Chancellor Street. That is a statement about the register, not the ground, unscheduled does not mean unstoried, only that no listing has been made for it. ## 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.
