# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 2000m of -43.56799, 172.70310, 4 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 [Ferrymead](https://www.chch.live/ferrymead) 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 133m from this point, a M3.2 on 22 February 2011, 8 km deep, labelled "5 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3502949)). 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 district plan files this ground as **Open Space Natural** (ON), 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 26.4km 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). No high-hazard flood area covers this point It sits inside the *Avoca Heathcote Valley* and *Heathcote River* flood-management areas, the catchment’s own watch. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard). The rebuild photographed this ground, **76** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2014, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 43 m away, an outfall, outlet shot from 2013-10-17, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWOUT4209_4209 outside_20131017 192248.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 rules on this ground, the dog rules name this ground, Ferrymead Regional Park (excluding the sports fields) (prohibited/leashed); Ferrymead Regional Park (excluding the sports fields) (prohibited/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 Hepara Pai Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/te-hepara-pai), wharenui Te Whakaruruhau, 4.5km 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, 6.8km 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. This point sits inside a scheduled site of ecological significance, *Avon Heathcote Estuary / Ihutai and environs*. 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). 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 493m from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes; 1 more pins within half a kilometre, 2 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 **Liquefaction Damage is Possible**, 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 608m away, a rock cable. 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 nearest notable tree on the register is **Japanese maple** (*palmatum*), 8 m tall, 0.5 m through, a crown 9 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 669m 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 ### [Dwelling and Setting, Ferrymead House](https://www.chch.live/place/285) 803m from your point 10 unread leads ### [St Mary's Church and Setting, 2 Truscotts Road](https://www.chch.live/place/231) 906m from your point 36 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Dwelling and Setting, Ferrymead House](https://www.chch.live/place/285), 803m · 285 Bridle Path Road - [St Mary's Church and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/231), 906m · 2 Truscotts Road - [Former Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/138), 1250m · 2A Main Road - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/287), 1904m · 178 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.
