# What stood on this ground?

The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.57726, 172.70539, 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 [Heathcote Valley](https://www.chch.live/heathcote-valley) 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 226m from this point, a M3.5 on 22 February 2011, 5 km deep, labelled "5 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3481853)). 36 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 **Neighbourhood centre zone** (NCZ), the commercial 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 26.6km 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).

The rebuild photographed this ground, **261** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2016, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 73 m away, an access shot from 2013-10-13, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/WWMH21516_21516 outside_20131013 214646.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 **quiet street** about **173 m** from this point, it belongs to [Heathcote Expressway](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/heathcote-expressway), one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 2.0 km of network, 0.5 km of it separated from the traffic. The books' record, not today’s cones, the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways).

The plaque register puts a dedication about **252 m** from this point, it reads “Hutan Seyb 3 Railway Tee”, standing on Martindales Reserve No. 2, commissioned 2009. It is the only inscribed plaque within a short walk. 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).

## The marae and the old grounds

The nearest marae on the roll is [Rāpaki Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/rapaki), wharenui Wheke, 3.8km from this point (Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, papatipu rūnanga of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Puāri Pā**, Victoria Square and north along the river, 7.7km 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 on the hazardous-activities register, *Any other land that has been subject to the intentional or accidental release of a hazardous substance in sufficient quantity that it could be a risk to human health or the environment* (former, unverified). A listing records the work that ran here, not a soil test, the whole register: [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 427m from this point, a rock still in place; 10 more pins within half a kilometre. 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 plain and channel 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 register puts **3** engineered rockfall defences within half a kilometre of this point, 3 rock cables. 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 **18** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **10** veterans, 16 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Gum** (*biangularis*), 24 m tall, 1.4 m through, a crown 18 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2013, 42m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees).
