What stood on this ground?

The ground that moved

Neither post-quake survey drew a mapped patch over this point, no liquefaction, no flooding on the record here. The record’s edges and the city’s count are at /liquefaction.

The Crown’s line

The Crown’s 2011 classification left this point outside the residential red zone, whatever the surveys mapped, the line the government bought out did not cross it. The whole boundary is drawn at /redzone.

The marae and the old grounds

The nearest marae on the roll is Tuahiwi Marae, wharenui Maahunui II, 6.6km from this point (Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga — the mana whenua of Christchurch). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is Kaiapohia — Kaiapoi Pā, north of the Waimakariri, near Waikuku, 12.8km away, the great fortified capital of Ngāi Tahu — Tūrākautahi's pā, sacked by Te Rauparaha in 1832 after a siege of months; its fall is why the rūnanga moved to Tuahiwi. The whole roll of marae and the grounds the plan names are kept at /maraes, a record of what the file says, not a claim on this point.

The ground’s grade

The 2011 grading never reached this point, the categories ran over the flat residential land, and this ground sits outside them. A category is the verdict for a patch of ground, not a finding about this address, that belongs to an engineer. The grades, drawn: /technical-categories.

The ground itself

No recorded dump under this point, the council keeps the old tips on the books and this ground isn’t one of them. The ones that are, from 1880 on: /landfills.

When the water came

No recorded flood patch reaches this point, the council’s layer keeps the water it saw, and it never drew water here. The ground it did draw: /floods.

The dangerous work

No hazardous-activities listing reaches this point, the register keeps the parcels where contaminating work ran, and this isn’t one of them. The ones that are: /hazards.

The made ground

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.

The armour

The register puts the nearest engineered defence 30.4km away, a rock cable installed 2011. Nearly all of these are the emergency works the quake years left standing, the file’s condition rating is its own word, not a fresh inspection. The whole register is drawn at /defences.

The canopy

The nearest notable tree on the register is Pekin Willow (matsudana), 15 m tall, 0.8 m through, a crown 17 m across, a veteran, on the file as planted in 2014, 14.0km away. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands, not a fresh survey. The whole canopy is drawn at /trees.

The shakes near here

The nearest break GeoNet recorded sits 5.3km from this point, a M3.4 on 26 June 2018, 23 km deep, labelled “20 km north of Christchurch”, its record at GeoNet. none within five kilometres. An epicentre is where the instruments placed the break, not where the shaking was felt; the whole catalogue is counted at /sequence and the story in plain language is the earthquakes explainer.

The fault nearest here

The nearest mapped fault trace sits 4.2km from this point , part of the Ashley Fault Zone. 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.

The rocks overhead

The nearest surveyed boulder sits 29.7km from this point , it came down in the shakes. A pin is where the survey saw the rock, not a promise about the slope, the whole survey is at /boulders.

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. The radius is yours to widen, ask again at 1000m. A register listing is a lead to follow, not by itself a claim, and if the record has this ground wrong, the corrections door is open.
