# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.54049, 172.64665, 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 [Waltham](https://www.chch.live/waltham) and in the [Heathcote ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/heathcote), Nathaniel Herz Jardine'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 338m from this point, a M3.4 on 25 September 2010, 6 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3421505)). 11 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 **Industrial General** (IG), the industrial 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 22.2km 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). 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, **1154** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2016, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 25 m away, an access shot from 2011-07-14, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/GHDWWSSMH1535720110714 171702.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 **28 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 5.8 km of network, 0.5 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 **382 m** from this point, it reads “RAIL WORKERS MEMORIAL THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO RAIL WORKERS WHO WERE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED WORKING ON THIS SITE AND AT OTHER LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT CANTERBURY. THEIR SACRIFICE PERFORMING THEIR DUTIES IS REMEMBERED BY ALL WHO TOILED BESIDE THEM. RAIL AND MARITIME TRANSPORT UNION APRIL 28 1996”, standing on Rail Workers Memorial, commissioned 2008. It is the only inscribed plaque within a short walk. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, 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 [Te Puna Wānaka](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-puna-wanaka), wharenui Te Mātauranga Māori, 333m 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, 1.5km 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 2.5km 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 file says soil removed, dug out and carted away, a record the file hasn’t verified. A cleanup on the file is the register’s word, not a clearance, the register: [remediated](https://www.chch.live/remediated). ## What the model says The 2019 liquefaction vulnerability study draws this ground as **Medium Liquefaction Vulnerability**, River flood basin and estuary plain 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 3.5km 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 **41** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, 41 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Common Lime** (*europaea*), 14.5 m tall, 0.59 m through, a crown 10.5 m across, carrying a district plan significant protection, on private land, 178m 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 Grosvenor Hotel and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/160) 313m from your point 30 unread leads ### [MED Substation and Setting, 99A Gasson Street](https://www.chch.live/place/77) 376m from your point 9 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Former Grosvenor Hotel and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/160), 313m · 367 Moorhouse Avenue - [MED Substation and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/77), 376m · 99A Gasson Street - [319 St Asaph Street](https://www.chch.live/place/529), 500m · 319 St Asaph Street - [129 High Street](https://www.chch.live/place/503), 594m · 1/129 High Street - [Former Lancaster Park War Memorial Entrance Gates and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/225), 620m · 40A Stevens Street ## 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.
