What stood on this ground?
The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.41186, 172.65073, nothing scheduled in the register here. Distances are to each place’s recorded pin, not its boundary.
The ground that moved
the February 2011 survey drew mapped liquefaction here; the September 2010 survey drew mapped liquefaction here. A patch is the survey’s footprint, not a finding about this address, the certainty tags and the whole 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, 8.8km 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, 1.5km 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 named ground
Named water within 500 m of this point, measured to the line or the edge, the open map’s record.
The pedal network
The council’s cycleway layer files a shared path about 324 m from this point. Within a short walk the layer files 0.1 km of network. The whole network is drawn at /cycleways.
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 17.0km 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 English Oak (robur), 19 m tall, 0.77 m through, a crown 16 m across, a veteran, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 1.0km 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 1.7km from this point, a M3.1 on 31 October 2019, 19 km deep, labelled “10 km north of Christchurch”, its record at GeoNet. none within a kilometre, 8 within five, the biggest inside five kilometres a M4.5 on 14 February 2016, 8 km deep. 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 17.4km 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 16.5km 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. Widened to 2 km, the nearest on record is The Cream House , 1759m away, 183 Main North Road Kaiapoi. 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.
