# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.54301, 172.61811, 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 475m from this point, a M3.1 on 26 December 2010, 5 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3454452)). 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 **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 **TC2**, technical category 2, yellow. 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 19.9km 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 plan’s density map holds this point, inside the *Residential Medium Density Overlay*. The allowed shape: [density](https://www.chch.live/density). The rebuild photographed this ground, **356** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2015, wastewater work mostly.

The cycleway layer files a **separated cycleway** about **17 m** from this point, it belongs to [Little River Link](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/little-river-link), one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 4.4 km of network, 0.7 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 **237 m** from this point, it reads “Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) was one of the most popular English novelists of the Victorian era. He created some of literature's most memorable characters.

The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Waipapa, Pilgrims Corner**, Little Hagley Park, Harper Avenue, 1.7km 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). 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 3.5km 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 **Medium 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 4.6km 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 **38** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **24** veterans, 14 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Tulip tree** (*tulipifera*), 9 m tall, a crown 6 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 127m 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 ### [Church Square and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/38) 156m from your point 29 unread leads ### [Church of St Mary the Virgin and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/425) 170m from your point 34 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Church of St Mary the Virgin Lychgate and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/427), 128m - [Church Square and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/38), 156m · 21A Church Square - [Church of St Mary the Virgin and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/425), 170m · 21A Church Square - [Church of St Mary the Virgin Belltower and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/426), 175m - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/218), 285m · 391 Selwyn 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.
