# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 2000m of -43.51291, 172.66000, 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 [Richmond](https://www.chch.live/richmond) and in the [Central ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/central), Jake McLellan'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 653m 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)). 3 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M4.7 on 26 December 2010, 5 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 **Specific Purpose (School)** (SPS), the specific purpose family. A zone is a permission, not a description, the whole district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones). The district plan holds this ground for **Shirley Boys' High School**, Minister of Education's claim. A designation is a reservation, not a build date, the register is at [designations](https://www.chch.live/designations). 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 23.9km 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). 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). The record drew water over this point once, 2011-2014 Flooding - Mayoral Flood Taskforce. Each patch is one event’s observation, not a live hazard finding, the whole record is at [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods). No high-hazard flood area covers this point It sits inside the *Avon River* and *Dudley Creek* flood-management areas, the catchment’s own watch. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard). An esplanade reserve line runs about 71 m away, the plan’s held public edge. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **1190** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2013, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 12 m away from 2011-11-08, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/10581_0_20111109 122711.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 **separated cycleway** about **14 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 4.3 km of network, 0.1 km of it separated from the traffic. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways). The rules on this ground, 2 bottle-store buffers hold around this point; 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 [Rehua Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/rehua), wharenui Te Whatu Manawa Māoritanga o Rehua, 2.4km from this point (the city's urban Māori community, under the korowai of mana whenua Ngāi Tūāhuriri). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōtautahi, Tautahi's kāinga**, the Avon Loop, near Oxford Terrace and Barbadoes Street, 2.0km 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. 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). The files say this ground was made or characterised, *recorded ground* (natural ground on the file). 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 5.3km 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 **High Liquefaction Vulnerability**, 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 5.8km 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 **74** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **7** veterans, 67 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Papauma / Broadleaf** (*littoralis*), 7.6 m tall, 2.3 m through, a crown 11.4 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2014, 222m 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 ### [Dwelling and Setting, 66 Chancellor Street](https://www.chch.live/place/31) 634m from your point 20 unread leads ### [Dwelling and Setting, 70 Chancellor Street](https://www.chch.live/place/32) 643m from your point 20 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/31), 634m · 66 Chancellor Street - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/32), 643m · 70 Chancellor Street - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/33), 655m · 72 Chancellor Street - [Dwelling and Setting, Avebury](https://www.chch.live/place/440), 787m · 9 Eveleyn Couzins Avenue - [MED Substation and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/290), 969m · 11 Retreat Road ## 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.
