# What stood on this ground?

The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.53723, 172.67423, 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 [Phillipstown](https://www.chch.live/phillipstown) 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 638m from this point, a M3.2 on 4 July 2011, 5 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3540226)). 3 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M6.2 on 22 February 2011, 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 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 24.4km 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, **522** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2007–2013, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 63 m away, an access shot from 2011-07-10, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/GHDWWSSMH18225a20110711 103842.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 **shared path** about **12 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 5.7 km of network, 0.1 km of it separated from the traffic. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways).

The plaque register puts a dedication about **132 m** from this point, it reads “This tree was planted to commemorate the coronation of H.M. Elizabeth II 1953”, standing on Linwood Park, commissioned 2009. 2 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, 4 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 [Te Hepara Pai Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-hepara-pai), wharenui Te Whakaruruhau, 1.1km from this point (Te Hui Amorangi o Te Waipounamu, the Māori Anglican bishopric of the South Island). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōtautahi, Tautahi's kāinga**, the Avon Loop, near Oxford Terrace and Barbadoes Street, 2.9km 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).

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 2.6km 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 3.0km 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. The register: [defences](https://www.chch.live/defences).

## The canopy

The register counts **29** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **21** veterans, 8 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Macrocarpa** (*macrocarpa*), 28 m tall, 1.5 m through, a crown 16 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2011, 40m 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 250m of this point. Widened to 2 km, the nearest on record is [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/11), 592m away, 14 Bass Street. 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. If the record has this ground wrong, the corrections door is open: https://www.chch.live/corrections
