# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.60771, 172.73199, 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 [Lyttelton](https://www.chch.live/lyttelton) and in the [Banks Peninsula ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/banks-peninsula), Tyrone Fields'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 542m from this point, a M3.9 on 5 April 2015, 11 km deep, labelled "10 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/2015p254520)). 7 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 **Specific Purpose (Lyttelton Port)** (SPLP), the specific purpose 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 29.0km 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, **40** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2017, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 44 m away, an access shot from 2011-08-27, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/GHDWWSSMH3362620110828 091613.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, inside the takiwā of Rapaki 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 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, *Whakaraupō* (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, 4.1km 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, 11.6km 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 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). This point sits on the hazardous-activities register, *Vehicle refuelling, service and repair* (current, unverified); *Mineral extraction, refining and reprocessing, storage and use* (current, 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 250m from this point, a rock still in place; 30 more pins within half a kilometre, 5 fallen. A pin is where the survey saw the rock, not a promise about the slope, the survey: [boulders](https://www.chch.live/boulders). ## The armour The register puts **32** engineered rockfall defences within half a kilometre of this point, 31 rock anchors, 1 mesh drape. 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 **Golden Upright Cypress** (*sempervirens*), 6 m tall, a crown 1 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 1985, 904m 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, 12 Reserve Terrace](https://www.chch.live/place/397) 537m from your point 21 unread leads ### [Dwelling and Setting, 31 Sumner Road](https://www.chch.live/place/398) 606m from your point 21 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/397), 537m · 12 Reserve Terrace - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/398), 606m · 31 Sumner Road - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/399), 624m · 29 Sumner Road - [Dwelling and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/358), 646m · 27 Sumner Road - [Former Masonic Lodge Hall, Lodge of Unanimity, and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/342), 770m · 6 St Davids Street ## 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.
