# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.50738, 172.72861, 3 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 [New Brighton](https://www.chch.live/new-brighton) 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 282m from this point, a M3.2 on 19 December 2018, 11 km deep, labelled "5 km east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/2018p951331)). 5 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M5.9 on 23 December 2011, 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 **Transport** (T), the transport 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 filed this point **TC2**, technical category 2, yellow. A category is the verdict for a patch of ground, not a finding about this address, the grades are at [technical-categories](https://www.chch.live/technical-categories). The nearest mapped fault trace sits 29.4km 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). No high-hazard flood area covers this point It sits inside the *Avon River* flood-management area, the catchment’s own watch. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard). The rebuild photographed this ground, **204** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2013, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 15 m away, an inlet shot, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWIN26117_26117_20121018115844.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 **unclassified** about **81 m** from this point, it belongs to [Te Ara Ōtākaro Avon River Trail](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/te-ara-otakaro-avon-river-trail), one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 1.2 km of network, 0.3 km of it separated from the traffic. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways). The plaque register puts a dedication about **201 m** from this point, it reads “SERVICE ABOVE SELF / THIS WISHING WELL WAS FOR OVER / TEN YEARS IN THE PARTICULAR CARE OF / J. M. ('LARRY') COCKBURN / 1907 - 1979 / A MEMBER OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF (illegible) / (illegible) RESIDENT & BUSINESSMAN / HIS SERVICE IS REMEMBERED / WITH AFFECTION”, standing on New Brighton Beach Developed, commissioned 2012. 21 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 4 named grounds.

The rules on this ground, freedom camping is managed here, City Coastal Restricted Zone, City Coastal Restricted Zone, City Coastal Restricted Zone; 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 plan’s mapped inundation extent covers this point, the sea could reach here in a tsunami, on NIWA’s modelling for Environment Canterbury (ECAN Report R12/38 2012; ECAN Report R14/78 2014). A modelled reach, not a prediction, the plan’s line, not the evacuation map. The whole extent: [tsunami](https://www.chch.live/tsunami). ## 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).

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 5.4km 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 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 6.5km away, a mesh drape 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 **9** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **5** veterans, 5 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Ngaio** (*laetum*), 6 m tall, 0.96 m through, a crown 9.8 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, 164m away.
