# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.78661, 172.81505, 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 [Little River](https://www.chch.live/little-river) 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 3.3km from this point, a M4.0 on 11 September 2010, 26 km deep, labelled "10 km north-west of Akaroa" ([its record at GeoNet](https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/3370196)). none within a kilometre, 2 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 **Open Space Community Parks** (OCP), 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 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 42.4km 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). 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 “Little River Bowling And Croquet Club Opened 17th Dec 1989 By Mr Terence Brocherie First Mayor of Banks Peninsula District Council”, standing on Little River Bowling Green, commissioned 2008. 3 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 2 named grounds. The whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques). The rules on this ground, inside the takiwā of Wairewa 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). ## The marae and the old grounds The nearest marae on the roll is [Wairewa Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/wairewa), wharenui Te Makō, 2.9km from this point (Te Rūnanga o Wairewa and the hapū Ngāti Irakehu and Ngāti Makō of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is **Waikākahi Pā**, Birdlings Flat, Te Roto o Wairewa, 9.0km away, the Ngāti Māmoe pā at Birdlings Flat where Makō, the ancestor Wairewa's whare is named for, first settled. 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 1.9km 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 21.1km 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 register counts **3** notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, **1** veteran, 2 carrying a protection, the nearest is **Ash** (*excelsior*), 12 m tall, a crown 16 m across, a veteran, 16m 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 250m 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.
