# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.56305, 172.64767, 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 [Beckenham](https://www.chch.live/beckenham) and in the [Cashmere ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/cashmere), Tim Scandrett'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 445m from this point, a M3.1 on 24 February 2011, 8 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3469420)). 17 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 district plan files this ground as **Transport** (T), the transport 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 **TC3**, technical category 3, blue. 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 22.0km 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 high-hazard flood area covers this point It sits inside the *Heathcote River* flood-management area, the catchment’s own watch. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard). The plan’s water-margin layers hold this point, inside a *30-metre setback strip* along a *Downstream Waterway (except Mona Vale)*. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **1094** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2010–2016, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 15 m away, an outfall, outlet shot from 2011-08-09, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWOUT1032_SWOUT1032a_20110809 150536.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 **unclassified** about **18 m** from this point, it belongs to [Ōpāwaho River](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/opawaho-river), one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 12.9 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 **96 m** from this point, it reads “ARBOR DAY 1950 PLANTED TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTENNIAL OF CANTERBURY”, standing on Beckenham Park, commissioned 2008. 6 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, no alcohol here (South Colombo, South Colombo, South Colombo), in force around the clock; 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 marae and the old grounds The nearest marae on the roll is [Te Hepara Pai Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-hepara-pai), wharenui Te Whakaruruhau, 2.6km from this point (Te Hui Amorangi o Te Waipounamu, the Māori Anglican bishopric of the South Island). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Puāri Pā**, Victoria Square and north along the river, 3.8km 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 439m from this point, a rock still in place; 13 more pins within half a kilometre, 9 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 **High Liquefaction Vulnerability**, River plain and channel deposits, observed performance variable and uncertainty in liquefaction performance due to effects of layered silty soil profiles, and the notes flag it for possible lateral spreading near a free face. 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 1.3km 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 **9** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **3** veterans, 6 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Tarata / Lemonwood** (*eugenioides*), 8 m tall, a crown 7 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 ### [Former Beckenham Library and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/461) 217m from your point 44 unread leads ### [Dwelling and Setting, 61A Tennyson Street](https://www.chch.live/place/230) 784m from your point 20 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Former Beckenham Library and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/461), 217m · 65 Sandwich Road - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/230), 784m · 61A Tennyson Street - [Dwelling and Setting, Springbank](https://www.chch.live/place/198), 802m · 290 Riverlaw Terrace - [MED Substation and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/215), 888m · 19E Millar Street - [The Malthouse and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/43), 927m · 69 Colombo 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.
