# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.55543, 172.71638, 2 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 [Mount Pleasant](https://www.chch.live/mount-pleasant) 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 198m from this point, a M3.2 on 23 February 2011, 12 km deep, labelled "5 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3743468)). 27 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M6.2 on 22 February 2011, 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 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 27.6km 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, **1134** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2016, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 3 m away from 2012-09-04, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/10979_2_20120904 144904.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 **1 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 6.4 km of network.

This point sits inside a scheduled area of significance to Ngāi Tahu, *Raekura ki Matuku Takotako* (Ngā Tūranga Tūpuna).

The whole roll: [maraes](https://www.chch.live/maraes), a record of what the file says, not a claim on this point. This ground sits inside the plan’s landscape schedules, *outstanding* ground, the plan’s strongest landscape standing, *HNC34.0 - Area of at least High Natural Character in the Coastal Environment*; *ONF36.0 - Outstanding Natural Feature*. What happens here answers to the view, the skyline, the cliffs, the shape of the place. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape). 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 52m from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes; 24 more pins within half a kilometre, 20 fallen. A pin is where the survey saw the rock, not a promise about the slope, the survey: [boulders](https://www.chch.live/boulders). ## The armour The nearest engineered defence sits 1.2km away, a mesh drape 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 **4** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, 4 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Pohutukawa** (*excelsa*), 7.5 m tall, 2.75 m through, a crown 11 m across, carrying a district plan significant protection, on private land, 220m 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 Dwelling and Setting, 2A Main Road](https://www.chch.live/place/138) 577m from your point 20 unread leads ### [Dwelling and Setting, Ferrymead House](https://www.chch.live/place/285) 960m from your point 10 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Former Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/138), 577m · 2A Main Road - [Dwelling and Setting, Ferrymead House](https://www.chch.live/place/285), 960m · 285 Bridle Path Road ## 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.
