# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.52168, 172.70480, 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 [Aranui](https://www.chch.live/aranui) and in the [Linwood ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/linwood), Yani Johanson'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 364m from this point, a M3.1 on 20 September 2019, 7 km deep, labelled "5 km east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/2019p708617)). 9 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 district plan files this ground as **Residential Suburban** (RS), the residential 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 filed this point **TC2**, technical category 2, yellow. A category is the verdict for a patch of ground, not a finding about this address, the grades are at [technical-categories](https://www.chch.live/technical-categories). The nearest mapped fault trace sits 27.2km 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). 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). No recorded flood patch reaches this point, the layer keeps the water it saw and never drew it here. The ground it did draw: [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods). The rebuild photographed this ground, **567** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2016, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 11 m away from 2012-09-30, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/10960_3_20121001 122527.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 rules on this ground, 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, 462m 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, 5.1km 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 3.9km 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 **Medium Liquefaction Vulnerability**, Dune related deposits which are usually well characterised by observed performance, CPT investigations and simplified liquefaction analyses. 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 4.9km 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 carrying a protection, the nearest is **English Oak** (*robur*), 15 m tall, 0.73 m through, a crown 18 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 466m 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. 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.
