# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.53903, 172.57504, 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 [Upper Riccarton](https://www.chch.live/upper-riccarton) and in the [Riccarton ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/riccarton), Tyla Harrison-Hunt'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 898m from this point, a M3.0 on 5 September 2010, 15 km deep, labelled "5 km west of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3366718)). 1 magnitude-3+ epicentre sits 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 **Medium density residential zone** (MRZ), 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 **TC1**, technical category 1, grey. 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 16.5km 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). No air-noise contour covers this point The airport’s bird-strike buffer, 8 km from the path, reaches this far. The quiet lines: [noise](https://www.chch.live/noise). The plan’s density map holds this point, inside the *Residential Suburban Overlay*. The allowed shape: [density](https://www.chch.live/density). The rebuild photographed this ground, **160** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2014, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 23 m away, an access shot from 2012-11-28, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/WWMH5131_SSMH5131_BLOCKED_20121128 162930.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 **cycle lane** about **4 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 3.1 km of network, 0.4 km of it separated from the traffic. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways). The rules on this ground, no alcohol here (Riccarton-Ilam, Riccarton-Ilam, Riccarton-Ilam), in force around the clock; 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 Ora Hou Ōtautahi](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-ora-hou), wharenui Te Iho o te Ora, 4.8km from this point (Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi, a kaupapa Māori youth and whānau organisation). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Waipapa, Pilgrims Corner**, Little Hagley Park, Harper Avenue, 3.8km away, the Māori reserve gazetted in 1858 at Little Hagley Park, the resting place on the old trail; in the 1970s its claim was settled in exchange for the Pages Road land that became Ngā Hau e Whā. 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 6.4km from this point, a rock still in place. 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 7.3km away, a catch fence. 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 **2** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, 2 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Japanese maple** (*palmatum*), 7 m tall, 0.55 m through, a crown 10 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 320m 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 ### [Dwelling and Setting, Strone](https://www.chch.live/place/94) 288m from your point 19 unread leads ### [Former Dwelling and Setting, Stevenholme/ Rannerdale House](https://www.chch.live/place/555) 451m from your point 2 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Dwelling and Setting, Strone](https://www.chch.live/place/94), 288m · 75 Hansons Lane - [Former Dwelling and Setting, Middleton](https://www.chch.live/place/1), 321m - [Former Dwelling and Setting, Stevenholme/ Rannerdale House](https://www.chch.live/place/555), 451m · 71 Suva Street - [Commercial Building and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/196), 798m · 355B Riccarton Road - [J.R.
