# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.78997, 172.75890, 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 6.7km 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 five kilometres. 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 Water and Margins** (OWM), 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 39.0km 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). The record drew water over this point once, 2011-2014 Flooding - Mayoral Flood Taskforce. Each patch is one event’s observation, not a live hazard finding, the whole record is at [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods). The plan’s water-margin layers hold this point, inside a *20-metre setback strip* along a *Hill Waterway*. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin). 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). This point sits inside a scheduled area of significance to Ngāi Tahu, *Te Roto o Wairewa (Lake Forsyth)* (Ngā Wai); *Te Roto o Wairewa (Lake Forsyth)* (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 [Wairewa Marae](https://www.chch.live/marae/wairewa), wharenui Te Makō, 4.4km 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, 4.7km 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, *outstanding* ground, the plan’s strongest landscape standing, *ONL25.1 - Outstanding Natural 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 6.0km 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 20.5km 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 **Deodar Cedar** (*deodara*), 18.5 m tall, 1.04 m through, a crown 13.5 m across, carrying a district plan significant protection, on private land, 2.9km away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The canopy: [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees). 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.
