# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.55044, 172.58082, 1 place 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 [Hillmorton](https://www.chch.live/hillmorton) and in the [Halswell ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/halswell), Andrei Moore'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 1.1km from this point, a M3.2 on 30 January 2011, 5 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3458891)). none within a kilometre, 206 within five, 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 **Open Space Metropolitan Facilities** (OMF), 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 16.8km 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 rebuild photographed this ground, **77** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2013, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 76 m away, an access shot from 2013-03-15, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWMH16142_SWIC16142C_20130315 154743.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 **155 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 1.6 km of network. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways). The plaque register puts a dedication about **0 m** from this point, it reads “150TH ANNIVERSARY PATRONS / — CORPORATE PATRONS — / Blackwell Motors Holden HSV & Isuzu, Cavell Leitch Law, Cochranes of Canterbury Ltd, Drummond & Etheridge Ltd, Freshpork New Zealand Ltd, KPMG, Norwood Farm Machinery Centre Christchurch, Tenth Dot Management. / — ANNIVERSARY PATRONS — / Chris and Jill Dampier‑Crossley, Rae Finlay, Beverley Forrester, Peter and Nancy Gardner, David Gould and Family, Murray and Dawn Hartnell, Roger and Estelle James, Warwick Judd, Michael McEvedy, Keith McIntosh and Family, John and Liz McKerchar, Patrick Morrison, Colin and Jan Notley, Philippa Pattullo, Ray Seebeck, Graham Sidey and Family, Chris and Robyn Wright, Donald and Jenny Wright.”, standing on Canterbury Agricultural Park, commissioned 2018. 5 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, 5.3km from this point (Ara Institute of Canterbury, whose tertiary whare stands on the city campus). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Waipapa, Pilgrims Corner**, Little Hagley Park, Harper Avenue, 4.0km 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 5.3km 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 **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 6.2km 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 nearest notable tree on the register is **Common Lime** (*europaea*), 17 m tall, 1 m through, a crown 14 m across, a veteran, 778m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). ## On the register nearby - [Former A & P Showgrounds Treasurer's Building and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/135), 18m ## 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.
