# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.53096, 172.62473, 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 233m 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)). 6 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, 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 **Open Space Community Parks** (OCP), 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 nearest mapped fault trace sits 20.7km 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.

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). ## What the model says The 2019 liquefaction vulnerability study draws this ground as **Liquefaction Damage is Possible**, River plain and channel deposits, observed performance variable and uncertainty in liquefaction performance due to effects of layered silty soil profiles. 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 anchor 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 **150** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **96** veterans, 54 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Kauri** (*australis*), 20 m tall, 0.69 m through, a crown 8 m across, carrying a district plan protection, on the file as planted in 2005, 26m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). ## What the record says ### [Christ's College Open Air Classrooms and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/211) 76m from your point 27 unread leads ### [Robert McDougall Art Gallery and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/200) 116m from your point 44 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Christ's College Open Air Classrooms and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/211), 76m · 33I Rolleston Avenue - [Robert McDougall Art Gallery and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/200), 116m · 9 Rolleston Avenue - [Christ's College Former Condell's House and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/206), 124m · 33U Rolleston Avenue - [Christ's College Former Big School and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/210), 131m · 33R Rolleston Avenue - [Canterbury Museum Roger Duff Wing Facade](https://www.chch.live/place/483), 144m ## 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.
