# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.52472, 172.70596, 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 [Bromley](https://www.chch.live/bromley) 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 183m 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)). 8 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 **Open Space Water and Margins** (OWM), 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 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). 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 plan’s water-margin layers hold this point, inside a *5-metre setback strip* along a *Network Waterway*. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **251** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2014, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 24 m away, an access shot, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/CFMAWWAccess2230800000000 000000.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, the dog rules name this ground, Te Huingi Manu Wildlife Reserve (Bromley Oxidation Ponds) (prohibited); Te Huingi Manu Wildlife Reserve (Bromley Oxidation Ponds) (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, 659m 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, 5.2km 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. 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 point sits on the hazardous-activities register, *Cemeteries and waste recycling, treatment and disposal* (current, unverified). A listing records the work that ran here, not a soil test, the whole register: [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 3.5km 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 4.5km 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 nearest notable tree on the register is **Macrocarpa** (*macrocarpa*), 18 m tall, a crown 12 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2014, 670m 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 [Linwood Cemetery](https://www.chch.live/place/505), 1982m 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.
