# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 1000m of -43.74964, 173.08936, nothing scheduled in the register here. 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 [Le Bons Bay](https://www.chch.live/le-bons-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 4.1km from this point, a M3.7 on 9 September 2010, 26 km deep, labelled "10 km north-east of Akaroa" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3369478)). none within a kilometre, 1 within five. 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 (Cemetery)** (SPC), 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 60.6km 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). 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 plaque register puts a dedication about **0 m** from this point, it reads “THIS MEMORIAL WALL WAS ERECTED ON 6TH MAY 1995 TO RECORD CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY MANY TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF WAIREWA HERITAGE PARK.”, standing on Le Bons Bay Cemetery, commissioned 2008. 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 Runanga o Koukourarata. 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 [Ōnuku Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/onuku), wharenui Karaweko, 14.9km from this point (Ōnuku Rūnanga and the hapū Ngāi Tārewa and Ngāti Irakehu of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Ōnawe Pā**, the Ōnawe peninsula, Akaroa Harbour, 12.2km 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). 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 19.4km 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 32.1km away, a rock cable 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 **13** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **12** veterans, 1 carrying a protection, the nearest is **English Oak** (*robur*), 10 m tall, 1.02 m through, a crown 15 m across, a veteran, 61m away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). No scheduled place sits within 1000m of this point. That is a statement about the register, not the ground, unscheduled does not mean unstoried, only that no listing has been made for it. ## 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.
