# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.56446, 172.63243, nothing scheduled in the register here. 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 [Cashmere](https://www.chch.live/cashmere) 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 69m from this point, a M3.6 on 31 May 2011, 8 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3522360)). 18 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 **Open Space Water and Margins** (OWM), 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 20.7km 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)*. And an esplanade reserve line runs about 34 m away, the plan’s held public edge. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **603** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2016, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 20 m away from 2016-05-10, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/11163_6_20160511 085051.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 **trail** about **7 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 10.8 km of network. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways). The rules on this ground, no alcohol here (South Colombo, South Colombo, South Colombo), in force around the clock; the dog rules name this ground, Ernle Clark Reserve, Cashmere (leashed); Ernle Clark Reserve, Cashmere (leashed); 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 Puna Wānaka](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-puna-wanaka), wharenui Te Mātauranga Māori, 3.1km from this point (Ara Institute of Canterbury, whose tertiary whare stands on the city campus). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Puāri Pā**, Victoria Square and north along the river, 3.9km 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. This point sits inside a scheduled site of ecological significance, *Heathcote River and Tributaries*. The plan protects the remnant bush, wetland or outcrop on this ground, clearing it asks for consent. The whole ledger: [ecology](https://www.chch.live/ecology). This ground sits inside the plan’s landscape schedules, *significant* ground in the plan’s grading, *SF10 - Significant 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 1.3km 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 **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 2.1km 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 register counts **15** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **8** veterans, 7 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Ash** (*excelsior*), 28 m tall, 1 m through, a crown 15 m across, a veteran, 200m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). No scheduled place sits within 250m of this point. Widened to 2 km, the nearest on record is [MED Substation](https://www.chch.live/place/251), 504m away, 2E Woodard Terrace. That is a statement about the register, not the ground, unscheduled does not mean unstoried, only that no listing has been made for it. ## 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.
