What stood on this ground?

The ground itself

This point falls inside Ferrymead and in the Heathcote ward, Nathaniel Herz Jardine's seat, on the Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote 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 Open Space Natural (ON), the open space 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 Rāpaki Marae, wharenui Wheke, 4.5km from this point (Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke — papatipu rūnanga of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is Puāri Pā, Victoria Square and north along the river, 7.0km away, the Waitaha settlement on the Ōtākaro bank — the oldest village the city centre covers, and later the market where Ngāi Tūāhuriri sold produce. 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 wild ledger

This point sits inside a scheduled site of ecological significance, Avon Heathcote Estuary / Ihutai and environs. The plan protects the remnant bush, wetland or outcrop on this ground, clearing it asks for consent. The whole ledger is drawn at /ecology.

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

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 drawn at /floods.

The waiting water

The plan’s flood map puts this point inside a high flood hazard area, the ground it expects to take water deep or fast. It sits inside the Avoca Heathcote Valley and Heathcote River flood-management areas , the catchment’s own watch. The whole flood map is drawn at /flood-hazard.

The drawn water

The plan’s water-margin layers hold this point, inside a 20-metre setback strip along a Environmental Asset Waterway. The margin’s map is drawn at /water-margin.

The rebuild’s receipts

The rebuild photographed this ground, 128 SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, 2011–2014, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 135 m away, an access shot from 2011-11-02, 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 shared path about 268 m from this point, it belongs to Heathcote Expressway, one of the named Major Cycle Routes. Within a short walk the layer files 4.3 km of network, 0.5 km of it separated from the traffic. The whole network is drawn at /cycleways.

The rules on this ground

The dog rules name this ground, Ferrymead Regional Park (excluding the sports fields) (prohibited/leashed); Ferrymead Regional Park (excluding the sports fields) (prohibited/leashed). 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 Liquefaction Damage is Possible, River flood basin and estuary plain 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 683m away, a rock cable. 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 Japanese maple (palmatum), 8 m tall, 0.5 m through, a crown 9 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 558m 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 109m from this point, a M3.2 on 22 February 2011, 8 km deep, labelled “5 km south-east of Christchurch”, its record at GeoNet. 29 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M6.2 on 22 February 2011, 5 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 26.5km 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 529m 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 St Mary's Church and Setting , 678m away, 2 Truscotts Road. 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.
