# What stood on this ground?

The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.57504, 172.77058, 1 place 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 [Scarborough](https://www.chch.live/scarborough) 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 370m from this point, a M3.1 on 16 June 2011, 5 km deep, labelled "10 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3530125)). 25 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).

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).

This point sits inside a scheduled area of significance to Ngāi Tahu, *Raekura ki Matuku Takotako* (Ngā Tūranga Tūpuna).

## 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 616m 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).
