# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.52117, 172.62866, 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 [Christchurch Central](https://www.chch.live/christchurch-central-city) 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 1.4km from this point, a M3.7 on 26 December 2010, 5 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3454006)). none within a kilometre, 73 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 **City centre zone** (CCZ), the mixed use family. A zone is a permission, not a description, the whole district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones). 2 qualifying matters touch this ground: **Heritage Item**, **Heritage Setting**. A matter narrows how the density rule applies, it does not forbid. The register is at [matters](https://www.chch.live/matters). The plan’s heritage schedule protects this ground, the setting of **Knox Church**, graded significant. The setting travels with the item, the schedule is at [heritage](https://www.chch.live/heritage). 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 21.2km 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).

The cycleway layer files a **cycle lane** about **21 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 3.4 km of network.

The whole roll: [maraes](https://www.chch.live/maraes), a record of what the file says, not a claim on this point.

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 6.0km 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.
