# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.66434, 172.81023, 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 [Port Levy](https://www.chch.live/port-levy) 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 343m from this point, a M3.0 on 14 June 2011, 12 km deep, labelled "20 km south-east of Christchurch" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3529384)). 10 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M4.9 on 24 December 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 **Rural Banks Peninsula** (RuBP), the rural 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 **St Paul's Church and Setting**, graded highly significant. 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 36.4km 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).

The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōnawe Pā**, the Ōnawe peninsula, Akaroa Harbour, 18.1km away, a wāhi tapu headland, the Ngāi Tahu fortress on the Akaroa Harbour peninsula where the defenders made their last stand against Te Rauparaha in 1832. 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, a *rural landscape* schedule, *Significant rural landscape*. What happens here answers to the view, the skyline, the cliffs, the shape of the place. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape).

The rockfall survey’s nearest pin sits 4.6km from this point, a rock that came down in the shakes. 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 9.3km 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 **Gum** (*sp.*), 2.5 m tall, a crown 1.2 m across, a veteran, 1.9km 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 ### [St Paul's Church and Setting, 901 Purau - Port Levy Road](https://www.chch.live/place/333) 2m from your point 21 unread leads ## On the register nearby - [St Paul's Church and Setting](https://www.chch.live/place/333), 2m · 901 Purau - Port Levy 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.
