# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.57312, 172.76922, 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 [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 277m from this point, a M3.4 on 13 June 2011, 6 km deep, labelled "10 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3529064)). 20 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 district plan files this ground as **Open Space Community Parks** (OCP), 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 plan’s heritage schedule protects this ground, the setting of **Sumner Clock Tower and Setting**, graded 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 31.7km 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). 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). An esplanade reserve line runs about 8 m away, the plan’s held public edge. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). The rebuild photographed this ground, **152** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2012–2015, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 33 m away, an access shot from 2013-06-14, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/WWMH550_P1000990_20130614 122850.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 **15 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 1.9 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 **5 m** from this point, it reads “THIS STONE WAS LAID BY / THE MAYORESS OF SUMNER / MRS W. H. NICHOLSON / 17TH DEC 1934”, standing on Scarborough Park. 16 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 5 named grounds. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, no alcohol at set times, Sumner Esplanade, 19:00–0:00; Sumner Esplanade, 19:00–0:00; the dog rules name this ground, Scarborough Park (prohibited); Scarborough Park (prohibited); 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 plan’s mapped inundation extent covers this point, the sea could reach here in a tsunami, on NIWA’s modelling for Environment Canterbury (ECAN Report R12/38 2012; ECAN Report R14/78 2014). A modelled reach, not a prediction, the plan’s line, not the evacuation map. The whole extent: [tsunami](https://www.chch.live/tsunami). This point sits inside a scheduled area of significance to Ngāi Tahu, *Raekura ki Matuku Takotako* (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 [Rāpaki Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/rapaki), wharenui Wheke, 8.0km from this point (Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, papatipu rūnanga of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōtautahi, Tautahi's kāinga**, the Avon Loop, near Oxford Terrace and Barbadoes Street, 11.6km 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. No graded landscape schedule covers this point, though it sits inside the coastal environment, the plan’s coastal rules reach this far. 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 81m from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes; 119 more pins within half a kilometre, 83 fallen, 13 wobble easy. 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 **Medium Liquefaction Vulnerability**, 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 723m away, a rock cable 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 **4** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **2** veterans, 2 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Ribbon gum eucalyptus** (*viminalis*), 8 m tall, 1 m through, a crown 5 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 1985, 400m 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 ### [Sumner Clock Tower and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/439) 3m from your point 41 unread leads ### [Dwelling and Setting, 58 Colenso Street](https://www.chch.live/place/462) 557m from your point 14 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Sumner Clock Tower and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/439), 3m · 147R Esplanade - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/462), 557m · 58 Colenso Street - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/163), 683m · 62 Nayland Street - [69 Taylors Mistake Bay](https://www.chch.live/place/541), 966m · 69 Taylors Mistake Bay - [Taylors Mistake Bach 1](https://www.chch.live/place/487), 972m · 68 Taylors Mistake Bay ## 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.
