# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.51789, 172.72547, 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 [Bexley](https://www.chch.live/bexley) 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 280m from this point, a M3.1 on 19 August 2012, 13 km deep, labelled "5 km east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/2012p624134)). 17 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 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 28.9km 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). The rebuild photographed this ground, **175** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2014, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 249 m away, an outfall, outlet shot, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWOUT43_43_20121018172109.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 **trail** about **210 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 1.3 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 “2000 / Donated By / SEAVIEW LIONS”, standing on Bexley Wetland, commissioned 2000. 3 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, the dog rules name this ground, Bexley Wetland (prohibited/leashed); Lower Avon and Bexley Saltmarshes (prohibited); Bexley Wetland (prohibited/leashed); Lower Avon and Bexley Saltmarshes (prohibited); 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, 2.2km 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, 6.8km 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 inside a scheduled site of ecological significance, *Avon Heathcote Estuary / Ihutai and environs*. The plan protects the remnant bush, wetland or outcrop on this ground, clearing it asks for consent. The whole ledger: [ecology](https://www.chch.live/ecology). This ground sits inside the plan’s landscape schedules, *significant* ground in the plan’s grading, *NCCE1.0 - Natural Character in the Coastal Environment*; *SF8.1 - Significant Feature*. What happens here answers to the view, the skyline, the cliffs, the shape of the place. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape). 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 4.2km 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). ## The armour The nearest engineered defence sits 5.4km 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 **1** notable tree within half a kilometre of this point, **1** veteran, the nearest is **Macrocarpa** (*macrocarpa*), 23 m tall, 2.2 m through, a crown 15 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2011, 286m 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 [New Brighton War Memorial & Amphitheatre](https://www.chch.live/place/531), 1208m 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.
