What stood on this ground?

The ground itself

This point falls inside Bishopdale and in the Harewood ward, Aaron Keown's seat, on the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board’s ground, measured against the drawn boundaries, so a point near an edge belongs to the side it is on, not the side its address is described as. The whole roll is at /wards.

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 plan’s word

The district plan files this ground as Local centre zone (LCZ), the commercial family. A zone is a permission, not a description, it says what the plan allows on this patch, not what stands on it. The whole district’s zoning is drawn at /zones.

The marae and the old grounds

The nearest marae on the roll is Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi, wharenui Te Iho o te Ora, 1.7km from this point (Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi — a kaupapa Māori youth and whānau organisation). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is Waipapa — Pilgrims Corner, Little Hagley Park, Harper Avenue, 5.0km away, the Māori reserve gazetted in 1858 at Little Hagley Park — the resting place on the old trail; in the 1970s its claim was settled in exchange for the Pages Road land that became Ngā Hau e Whā. 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 waiting water

No high-hazard flood area covers this point It sits inside the Lower Styx River flood-management area , the catchment’s own watch. The whole flood map is drawn at /flood-hazard.

The quiet lines

No air-noise contour covers this point The airport’s bird-strike buffer, 8 km from the path, reaches this far. The whole map is drawn at /noise.

The rebuild’s receipts

The rebuild photographed this ground, 88 SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2010–2013, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 80 m away, an inlet shot from 2013-03-12, the frame itself. A work log filed as the dig went on, not a survey of what stands today, the whole record is drawn at /rebuild.

The pedal network

The council’s cycleway layer files a cycle lane about 35 m from this point, it belongs to Wheels to Wings, one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 8.9 km of network. The whole network is drawn at /cycleways.

The remembered names

The plaque register puts a dedication about 230 m from this point, it reads “ÅŒrauwahata / Sculptor – Tim Wraight / July 2017”, standing on Orauwhata, commissioned 2017. It is the only inscribed plaque within a short walk. The whole roll is kept at /plaques.

The rules on this ground

The ground sits inside the takiwā of Te Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga. The bylaw is the instrument, this is the register’s own drawing of it, thinned to about four metres; the legal wording wins where they differ. The whole rulebook: /rules.

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.

What the model says

The 2019 liquefaction vulnerability study draws this ground as Medium Liquefaction Vulnerability, River plain and channel deposits, observed performance variable and uncertainty in liquefaction performance due to effects of layered silty soil profiles. That is a district-scale screening read, not a finding about an address, the study itself says site-specific analysis confirms a parcel. What the ground actually did in February 2011 is the record above; the whole study is drawn at /vulnerability.

The armour

The register puts the nearest engineered defence 10.8km away, a rock anchor 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 register counts 16 notable trees within half a kilometre of this point, 1 veteran, 15 carrying a protection, the nearest is Saucer Magnolia (soulangiana), 4 m tall, a crown 5 m across, carrying a resource consent protection, on private land, 153m 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 1.9km from this point, a M3.1 on 28 September 2010, 5 km deep, labelled “5 km north-west of Christchurch”, its record at GeoNet. none within a kilometre, 8 within five, the biggest inside five kilometres a M3.3 on 31 December 2010, 10 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 19.6km 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.

The rocks overhead

The nearest surveyed boulder sits 9.7km 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. Widened to 2 km, the nearest on record is Former Papanui Railway Station and Setting , 1636m away, 1 Restell Street. 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.
