What stood on this ground?

The ground itself

This point falls inside Sumner 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 drew this point inside the residential red zone, "land repair would be prolonged and uneconomic". The purchase offers and the cleared streets followed from that line. A classification is the record of a decision, not a finding about this address today, the whole boundary is drawn at /redzone.

The plan’s word

The district plan files this ground as Open Space Coastal (OC), 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, 8.2km from this point (Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, papatipu rūnanga of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is Ōtautahi, Tautahi's kāinga, the Avon Loop, near Oxford Terrace and Barbadoes Street, 12.8km away, the seasonal camp of Tautahi, the chief the city is named for and son of Huikai of Koukourārata, on the Avon Loop. 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 kept view

This ground sits inside the plan’s landscape schedules, outstanding ground, the plan’s strongest landscape standing, NCCE1.0 - Natural Character in the Coastal Environment; ONL38.1 - Outstanding Natural Landscape. What happens here answers to the view, the skyline, the cliffs, the shape of the place. It also sits inside the coastal environment, the plan’s coastal rules reach this far. The whole map of kept views is at /landscape.

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 drawn water

An esplanade reserve line runs about 21 m away, the plan’s held public edge. The margin’s map is drawn at /water-margin.

The allowed shape

The bach settlement Bach settlement No. 30 sits about 16 m away, the Peninsula’s kept-small holiday scale. The shape’s map is drawn at /density.

The rebuild’s receipts

The rebuild photographed this ground, 11 SCIRT frames within a few hundred metres, wastewater work mostly. The nearest is about 358 m away from 2012-07-15, 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 remembered names

The plaque register puts a dedication about 91 m from this point, it reads “In Memory of/ RAY AND CYNTHIA/ TAYLOR/ of Redcliffs 2006”, standing on Taylors Mistake Beach, commissioned 2007. 3 inscribed plaques stand within a short walk, across 2 named grounds. The whole roll is kept at /plaques.

The rules on this ground

The dog rules name this ground, Godley Head Walkway (leashed); Godley Head Walkway (leashed); Godley Head Walkway (leashed); Godley Head Walkway (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 moving ground

This point sits inside the plan’s slope-hazard bands, Rockfall Management Area 1. The post-quake geotech review watched this ground for rockfall, collapse or movement; consent rules tighten here. The whole watch is drawn at /slope.

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 1.2km 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 Norfolk island pine (heterophylla), 7 m tall, a crown 6 m across, carrying a subdivision protection, on private land, 945m 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 115m from this point, a M3.2 on 13 June 2011, 5 km deep, labelled “10 km south-east of Christchurch”, its record at GeoNet. 23 magnitude-3+ epicentres sit within a kilometre, the biggest inside five kilometres a M6.0 on 13 June 2011, 7 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 32.5km 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 34m from this point , still in place; 66 more pins sit within half a kilometre, 9 marked fallen, 23 wobble easy. A pin is where the survey saw the rock, not a promise about the slope, the whole survey is at /boulders.

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. Each place’s pin carries its own precision, the nearest is recorded to ±4m. 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.
