# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.57088, 172.64615, 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 [Huntsbury](https://www.chch.live/huntsbury) 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 134m from this point, a M3.3 on 26 February 2011, 6 km deep, labelled "Within 5 km of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3470559)). 31 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 **Residential Hills** (RH), the residential 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 21.8km 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). The rebuild photographed this ground, **589** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2016, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 54 m away from 2012-03-22, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Site_Photos/1000000_0_20120323 104106.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 **cycle lane** about **144 m** from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 12.7 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 **385 m** from this point, it reads “FARNLEY RESERVE / Received International Recognition For / Exceptional Service in Area of Environment at / The Soroptimist International / Convention, Finland 1999 / for the / 'Creation of a nature reserve with permanent / art works, community project, co-ordinated / by CHRISTCHURCH Soroptimists'”, standing on Farnley Reserve, commissioned 2006. 3 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, 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). No named slope-hazard band covers this point, though it sits inside the broad "remaining slope instability" overlay blanketing the Peninsula hill country, the plan’s background watch. The whole watch: [slope](https://www.chch.live/slope). ## 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, 3.5km 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, 4.6km 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). The files say this ground was made or characterised, *recorded ground* (certified). 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 395m from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes; 9 more pins within half a kilometre, 4 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 Unlikely**, Underlying geology is rock however uncertaininty remains about thickness and characteristics of overlying soil. 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 975m away, a rock anchor. 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 **13** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **6** veterans, 7 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Radiata Pine (w)** (*radiata*), 16 m tall, 0.75 m through, a crown 10 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2014, 206m 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 [29 Major Aitken Drive](https://www.chch.live/place/544), 303m away. 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.
