# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.62993, 172.64932, 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 [Governors Bay](https://www.chch.live/governors-bay) 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 670m from this point, a M3.2 on 7 October 2010, 5 km deep, labelled "10 km south of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3383935)). 2 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M5.6 on 22 February 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 **Transport** (T), the transport 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 22.9km 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, **3** SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, stormwater work mostly. The nearest is about 198 m away, an outfall, outlet shot from 2014-06-23, [the frame itself](https://gis.ccc.govt.nz/image/SCIRT/Photos/Manhole_Photos/SWOUT12679_12679 outside_20140623 162508.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 plaque register puts a dedication about **268 m** from this point, it reads “THE PARKINSON MEMORIAL PARK TRUST ASSISTED IN THIS BUILDINGS RESTORATION”, standing on Cholmondeley Reserve, commissioned 2008. 3 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). 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, *Te Pā Whakataka* (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, 3.6km 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, 11.1km 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 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 459m from this point, a rock still in place; 2 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). ## The armour The nearest engineered defence sits 4.1km away, a rock anchor 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 **1** notable tree within half a kilometre of this point, 1 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Wellingtonia** (*giganteum*), 31 m tall, 1.96 m through, a crown 19 m across, carrying a district plan significant protection, on private land, 399m 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 ### [Former Governors Bay School and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/324) 263m from your point 38 unread leads ### [Former Governors Bay School Master's House and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/325) 276m from your point 39 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [Former Governors Bay School and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/324), 263m · 112 Main Road - [Former Governors Bay School Master's House and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/325), 276m · 112 Main Road - [St Cuthbert's Church and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/326), 481m - [Bridge/Culvert and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/405), 509m - [St Cuthberts Vicarage](https://www.chch.live/place/479), 522m · 8 Governors Bay - Teddington Road ## 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.
