What stood on this ground?
The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.81214, 173.02595, nothing scheduled in the register here. Distances are to each place’s recorded pin, not its boundary.
The ground itself
This point falls inside Akaroa and in the Banks Peninsula ward, Tyrone Fields's seat, on the Banks Peninsula 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 Ōnuku Marae, wharenui Karaweko, 6.9km from this point (Ōnuku Rūnanga — Ngāi Tārewa and Ngāti Irakehu of Ngāi Tahu). The nearest named ground the plan schedules is Ōnawe Pā, the Ōnawe peninsula, Akaroa Harbour, 6.5km away, the Ngāi Tahu fortress on the Akaroa Harbour peninsula where the defenders made their last stand against Te Rauparaha in 1832 — a wāhi tapu headland. 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, ONL16.2 - Outstanding Natural Landscape. What happens here answers to the view, the skyline, the cliffs, the shape of the place. 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 named ground
Named places within 1.5 km of this point, the open map’s record.
The rules on this ground
The ground sits inside the takiwā of Te Runanga o Koukourarata. 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
No named slope-hazard band covers this point, though it sits inside the broad "remaining slope instability" overlay that blankets the Peninsula hill country, the plan’s background watch, a lighter ask than a named band. 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 32.8km 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 Podaocarp, 11.5 m tall, a crown 6 m across, carrying a district plan significant protection, on private land, 3.8km 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 6.1km from this point, a M3.5 on 1 October 2010, 25 km deep, labelled “5 km north of Akaroa”, 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 58.5km 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 15.2km 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.
