# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.51371, 172.59242, 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 [Fendalton](https://www.chch.live/fendalton) and in the [Fendalton ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/fendalton), David Cartwright'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 M3.1 on 28 September 2010, 5 km deep, labelled "5 km north-west of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3379319)). none within a kilometre, 34 within five, 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 **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 18.7km 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 air-noise contour covers this point The airport’s bird-strike buffer, 8 km from the path, reaches this far. The quiet lines: [noise](https://www.chch.live/noise). The rebuild photographed this ground, **252** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2016, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 53 m away, an access shot from 2014-02-20, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/WWMH7645_7645a_20140220 131549.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 **shared path** about **54 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 0.3 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, it reads “Planted on the site of the former Waimairi District Council Works Yard in recognition of the late Lois Herdman. Supported by the Fendalton Waimairi Community Board, Lois was instrumental in retaining this area as a Public Reserve. The creation of Jeffreys Park was formally adoped by the Christchurch City Council on 28 July 1994.”, standing on Jeffreys Reserve, commissioned 2003. 4 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, 1 bottle-store buffer holds 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 [Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-ora-hou), wharenui Te Iho o te Ora, 1.7km from this point (Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi, a kaupapa Māori youth and whānau organisation). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Waipapa, Pilgrims Corner**, Little Hagley Park, Harper Avenue, 2.7km away, the Māori reserve gazetted in 1858 at Little Hagley Park, the resting place on the old trail; in the 1970s its claim was settled in exchange for the Pages Road land that became Ngā Hau e Whā. 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 7.3km 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**, 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 8.3km away, a rock anchor 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 **21** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **1** veteran, 20 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Wellingtonia** (*giganteum*), 32.7 m tall, 2 m through, a crown 14.6 m across, carrying a district plan protection, 225m 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 [Open Air Classroom (west) and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/42), 265m away. 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.
