# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.62047, 172.75455, 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 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 214m from this point, a M3.0 on 20 June 2011, 14 km deep, labelled "10 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3532214)). 4 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M5.3 on 13 June 2011, 9 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 Natural** (ON), 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 **Ripapa Island/ Fort Jervois and Setting**, graded highly significant and on the national register as Category 1. 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 31.0km 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 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). 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, *Ripapa Island (Taununu Pā)* (Wāhi Tapu/Wāhi Taonga); *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, 6.1km 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, 13.8km 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 ground sits inside the plan’s landscape schedules, *significant* ground in the plan’s grading, *NCCE1.0 - Natural Character in the Coastal Environment*. What happens here answers to the view, the skyline, the cliffs, the shape of the place. It also 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 1.0km from this point, a rock still in place. 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 nearest engineered defence sits 2.7km away, a rock anchor installed 2012. 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 **sp.** (*sp.*), 26 m tall, 1.2 m through, a crown 17 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2013, 1.0km 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 ### [Ripapa Island/ Fort Jervois and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/334) 14m from your point 9 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Ripapa Island/ Fort Jervois and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/334), 14m ## 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.
