# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.56621, 172.75986, 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 [Sumner](https://www.chch.live/sumner) 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 267m from this point, a M3.1 on 23 December 2011, 13 km deep, labelled "10 km east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3724341)). 28 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 plan’s heritage schedule protects this ground, the setting of **Tuawera/Cave Rock and Pilot/Signal Station, and Setting**, graded highly significant. The setting travels with the item, the schedule is at [heritage](https://www.chch.live/heritage). 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 31.0km 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). An esplanade reserve line runs about 79 m away, the plan’s held public edge. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **217** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2016, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 37 m away from 2014-03-06, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/1000000_0_20140306 155428.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 **38 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 2.7 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 “In Memory of / JOSEPH DAY / DIED 4TH APRIL 1913 / PILOT AT SUMNER FROM / SEPTEMBER 1867 UNTIL HIS DEATH / DURING WHICH PERIOD HE WAS / INSTRUMENTAL IN SAVING 26 LIVES.”, standing on Cave Rock Reserve, commissioned 2000. 10 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 4 named grounds. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, the dog rules name this ground, Cave Rock (leashed); Cave Rock (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). This point sits inside a scheduled area of significance to Ngāi Tahu, *Tuawera* (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, 7.0km 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, 10.5km 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. This ground sits inside the plan’s landscape schedules, *outstanding* ground, the plan’s strongest landscape standing, *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 531m from this point, a hanging rock that wobbles easy. 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 893m 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 **35** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, 35 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Norfolk island pine** (*heterophylla*), 13 m tall, a crown 7 m across, carrying a district plan protection, on the file as planted in 1998, 74m 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 ### [The Esplanade War Memorials, Sea Walls and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/420) 150m from your point 15 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Tuawera/Cave Rock and Pilot/Signal Station, and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/229), 36m - [The Esplanade War Memorials, Sea Walls and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/420), 150m ## 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.
