# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 2000m of -43.54037, 172.62638, 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 [Addington](https://www.chch.live/addington) and in the [Spreydon ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/spreydon), Melanie Coker'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 154m from this point, a M3.7 on 26 December 2010, 4 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3437159)). 10 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 **Large format retail zone** (LFRZ), the commercial 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 20.6km 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, **784** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2010–2017, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 19 m away from 2016-10-09, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/11264_5_20161010 111115.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 **33 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 3.2 km of network, 1.8 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 **333 m** from this point, it reads “Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881) was both a statesman and novelist. In 1868 and from 1874-80 he enjoyed two periods as one of the most popular British Prime Ministers. In 1876 he was made Earl of Beaconsfield. He secured working class support through his efforts to establish his trade union legislation. For Disraeli, literature was second to politics. However, the novels of his "'Young England Trilogy': Coningsby (1844); Sybil (1845) and Tancred (1847), written to promote his doctrine of Troy Democracy, have great characterisation and show his keen insight into the structure of Society. The Artwork 'Sybil' was created by Christchurch artist Ian Lamont (2007). The Cherubs, reproduced here from the Addington Cemetery, forms part of the Literary Streets Heritage Trail on which you are invited to collect crayon (or similar) rubbings of the images on paper.”, standing on Disraeli Reserve, commissioned 2008. 2 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk.

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 Puna Wānaka](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-puna-wanaka), wharenui Te Mātauranga Māori, 1.5km from this point (Ara Institute of Canterbury, whose tertiary whare stands on the city campus). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Puāri Pā**, Victoria Square and north along the river, 1.4km away, the Waitaha settlement on the Ōtākaro bank, the oldest village the city centre covers, and later the market where Ngāi Tūāhuriri sold produce. 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 3.2km 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 **High Liquefaction Vulnerability**, 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 4.3km 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 **85** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **25** veterans, 60 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Pin Oak** (*palustris*), 6 m tall, a crown 5 m across, carrying a resource consent protection, on private land, 70m 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 ### [Former West Christchurch School/Hagley Community College and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/92) 342m from your point 24 unread leads ### [Commercial Building and Setting, Former W.
