# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.51750, 172.67968, 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 [Dallington](https://www.chch.live/dallington) 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 636m from this point, a M3.3 on 28 February 2011, 9 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3471308)). 3 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit 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 **Specific Purpose (Otakaro Avon River Corridor)** (SPOA), 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 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 25.3km 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* flood-management area, the catchment’s own watch. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard). The plan’s water-margin layers hold this point, inside a *30-metre setback strip* along a *Downstream Waterway (except Mona Vale)*. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **391** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2012, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 47 m away, an inlet shot, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWIN22509_22509_20120131 130441.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 **127 m** from this point, it belongs to [City to Sea Pathway](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/city-to-sea-pathway), one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 6.6 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 **130 m** from this point, it reads “Planted by Dr Keith Turner / on 3 December 2006 / (Meridian Energy logo)”, standing on Porritt Park, commissioned 2017. 3 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 3 named grounds. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, the dog rules name this ground, Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor (leashed/under effective control); Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor (leashed/under effective control); Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor (leashed/under effective control); 3 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 [Ngā Hau e Whā National Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/nga-hau-e-wha), wharenui Aoraki, 1.6km 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, 3.2km 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). 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 4.9km 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, and the notes flag it for possible lateral spreading near a free face. 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 5.2km 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 **111** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **108** veterans, 3 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Lombardy Poplar** (*nigra*), 29 m tall, 0.96 m through, a crown 8 m across, a veteran, 47m 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 1000m of this point. Widened to 2 km, the nearest on record is [Woodham Park Caretakers Cottage](https://www.chch.live/place/543), 1082m away, 169 Woodham Road. 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.
