# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.55644, 172.73361, 3 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 [Redcliffs](https://www.chch.live/redcliffs) 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 69m from this point, a M3.1 on 23 December 2011, 14 km deep, labelled "5 km east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3718545)). 25 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M6.0 on 13 June 2011, 7 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 **Specific Purpose (School)** (SPS), the specific purpose family. A zone is a permission, not a description, the whole district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones). The district plan holds this ground for **Redcliffs School**, Minister of Education's claim. A designation is a reservation, not a build date, the register is at [designations](https://www.chch.live/designations). 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 28.9km 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). The record drew water over this point once, 2011-2014 Flooding - Mayoral Flood Taskforce. Each patch is one event’s observation, not a live hazard finding, the whole record is at [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods). The plan’s flood map puts this point inside a *high flood hazard* area, the ground it expects to take water deep or fast. It sits inside the *Moncks Redcliffs* flood-management area, the catchment’s own watch. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard). The rebuild photographed this ground, **524** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2016, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 24 m away from 2013-08-09, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/10908_6_20130809 120226.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 **31 m** from this point, it belongs to [Te Ara Ihutai Coastal Pathway](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/te-ara-ihutai-coastal-pathway), one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 6.8 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 **46 m** from this point, it reads “DONATED BY THE FAMILY OF DENNIS AND EILENE WATSON / LOCAL RESIDENTS SINCE 1954 / 'We are tied to the ocean and when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or watch, we are going back from where we came' / MEMORIES SCATTERED ON THE TIDES / DENNIS 1926 – 1995 / EILENE 1927 – 2007”, standing on Avon And Heathcote Estuary, commissioned 2007. 2 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 2 named grounds. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, 1 bottle-store buffer holds 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 plan’s mapped inundation extent covers this point, the sea could reach here in a tsunami, on NIWA’s modelling for Environment Canterbury (ECAN Report R12/38 2012; ECAN Report R14/78 2014). A modelled reach, not a prediction, the plan’s line, not the evacuation map. The whole extent: [tsunami](https://www.chch.live/tsunami). This point sits inside a scheduled area of significance to Ngāi Tahu, *Raekura ki Matuku Takotako* (Ngā Tūranga Tūpuna). The plan formally recognises this ground in the mana whenua cultural landscape, earthworks and works on the water carry extra care here. The whole schedule: [cultural](https://www.chch.live/cultural). ## The marae and the old grounds The nearest marae on the roll is [Ngā Hau e Whā National Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/nga-hau-e-wha), wharenui Aoraki, 4.8km from this point (Te Rūnanga o Ngā Maata Waka, whose national marae is open to Māori of every iwi). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōtautahi, Tautahi's kāinga**, the Avon Loop, near Oxford Terrace and Barbadoes Street, 8.2km away, the seasonal camp of Tautahi, the chief the city is named for and son of Huikai of Koukourārata, on the Avon Loop. The whole roll: [maraes](https://www.chch.live/maraes), a record of what the file says, not a claim on this point. No graded landscape schedule covers this point, though it sits inside the coastal environment, the plan’s coastal rules reach this far. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape). This point sits on the hazardous-activities register, *Cemeteries and waste recycling, treatment and disposal* (former, unverified). A listing records the work that ran here, not a soil test, the whole register: [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards). The files say this ground was made or characterised, *Mixed Fill with Rubbish* (unvouched fill). A record is the file’s own word on what was laid, not a fresh survey, the whole layer: [fill](https://www.chch.live/fill). The rockfall survey’s nearest pin sits 415m from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes; 17 more pins within half a kilometre, 17 fallen. 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 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 1.5km 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 **Norfolk island pine** (*heterophylla*), 18 m tall, a crown 11 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 122m 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 ### [Te Ana o Hineraki/Moa Bone Point Cave and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/140) 143m from your point 23 unread leads ### [Commercial Building and Setting, 186 Main Road](https://www.chch.live/place/9) 746m from your point 20 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Te Ana o Hineraki/Moa Bone Point Cave and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/140), 143m · 8A Balmoral Lane - [Commercial Building and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/9), 746m · 186 Main Road - [Monck's Cave and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/476), 892m · 2 Moncks Spur 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.
