## The encyclopaedia on it

Bryndwr is a suburb in the north-west of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryndwr), a tertiary source
Population: Stats NZ 2023 Census Statistical Area 2 counts summed over the suburb’s own areas, as Wikipedia maps them; the area is measured from the suburb boundary.

## Living here

New bonds here ran at about **$600 a week** in the April–June 2026 quarter, the middle half $551–$652, across 48 bonds, down 3% on a year ago. That’s about **$50 a week above** the city’s own quarter median of $550. Tenancy Services counts these under the Bryndwr North and Bryndwr South areas combined, approximately this suburb.
- 3-bedroom house, $621 a week · 21 new bonds
- 1-bedroom house, $618 a week · 15 new bonds

Median and quartiles of weekly rents on new private bonds (Tenancy Services), new bonds only, not the whole stock.

## 2023 Census snapshot

About 6,243 people and 2,316 occupied private households, grouped from 44 SA1 areas in Bryndwr North, Bryndwr South. Several statistical areas are combined here, so this is a grouped proxy rather than a count for one suburb boundary.

- Under 15: about 18% (1,125 people)
- 65 and over: about 16% (1,005 people)
- Born overseas: about 29% of stated birthplace
- European ethnicity: about 71% of ethnicity responses
- Māori ethnicity: about 13% of ethnicity responses
- Pacific Peoples ethnicity: about 5% of ethnicity responses
- Asian ethnicity: about 20% of ethnicity responses
- Households with internet: about 81% of stated households
- Households with two or more vehicles: about 48% of stated households

Ethnicity is a multiple-response measure, so those percentages are not meant to add to 100%. Stats NZ uses fixed random rounding to base 3; unavailable or confidential cells are left out, not treated as zero.

## The record on Bryndwr
- Bryndwr enters the written record in 1 January 1880, [“"Bryndwr." Valuable freehold suburban properties at Fendaltown”](https://www.canterburystories.nz/collections/maps-plans/ccl-cs-18090), [Canterbury Stories](https://www.chch.live/collection/canterbury-stories).
- “Bryndwr” appears somewhere in 476 of the archive’s records.
- A Papers Past search for the name surfaced 30 records, leads by provenance.
- The first report here: roading/streets, 2 June 2015, at 1 Rhyl Pl.
- Its busiest day was 26 December 2023, 16 reports in a single day.
- The street that keeps coming up is [Wairakei Road](https://www.chch.live/street/bryndwr/wairakei-road), reported on 350 separate days.
- For elections the suburb’s centre falls inside [Fendalton ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/fendalton), the [Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board](https://www.chch.live/boards/fendalton-waimairi-harewood) is its local layer. The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards).

## How fast the council fixes things here (7,018 finished jobs on record)

The median council work order pinned in Bryndwr took **4 days** to resolve, the city-wide median is 3 days, so this ground runs slower than the city as a whole.
The slowest tenth of finished jobs waited 10 weeks or longer.
149 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 7 October 2019.

Work orders, not resident reports, the council’s MyCouncilTicket stream, and one job can appear in both. A median counts only finished jobs; open ones are named as open, never averaged in. [The ticket roll](https://www.chch.live/fixed) · [the whole city’s fix times](https://www.chch.live/trends#fix).

## Alcohol rules on this ground

One sensitive site stands here, Wairakei School, and the Local Alcohol Policy restricts new off-licences within 200 m of it.

The council’s bylaw zones and the Local Alcohol Policy’s buffer list. A ban rules drinking in public places; it says nothing about whether a premises may sell, that is the licence register’s job.

## The ground that moved
The February 2011 survey drew mapped ground failure over 18.8% of this outline, about 40 hectares. A patch is a footprint, not a finding about an address; the count for the whole city is at [liquefaction](https://www.chch.live/liquefaction).
The 2011 grading filed 543.1% of this outline, about 1,155 hectares, mostly **TC2**, with TC3 4 ha · TC2 1,151 ha. A category is a verdict for a patch of ground, not a finding about an address; the grades are at [technical-categories](https://www.chch.live/technical-categories).
No high-hazard flood area covers this outline. The broader flood-management watch covers **26%** of it, Avon River. Shares read from a sampled join; a model’s map, not a promise. The waiting water: [flood-hazard](https://www.chch.live/flood-hazard).
The plan’s noise overlays cover **all** of this outline, about 213 hectares across **1** mapped overlay, and inside the airport’s bird-strike buffer. Shares read from a sampled join; a planning line, not a meter’s reading. The quiet lines: [noise](https://www.chch.live/noise).
The plan’s water-margin layers cross this outline, **69** classified reaches, the plan calling **Taylor Stream** and **Wai-iti Stream**
           by name, **3%** of it inside the setback strips, the widest holding **10 m** off the bank. The margin is the plan’s drawing, not a survey of the bank. The drawn water: [water-margin](https://www.chch.live/water-margin).
The plan’s allowed shape holds this outline, **11%** of it inside the residential overlays, the densest standing **Suburban**. The shape is the plan’s permission, not a survey of what stands. The allowed shape: [density](https://www.chch.live/density).
The rebuild’s cameras filed **1,257** photographs on this ground, 2011–2016, wastewater work mostly. Each frame is a receipt the dig left behind, a work log, not a survey of what stands now. The whole record: [rebuild](https://www.chch.live/rebuild).
The pedal network threads this ground, **12.5 km** of cycleway crosses the outline, 2.4 km of it separated from the traffic, [Nor'West Arc](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/nor-west-arc). A segment counts under every suburb its path enters; the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways).
The rulebook binds this ground, **8** drawn instruments, 1 alcohol ban, 7 bottle-store buffers; the outline sits inside the takiwā of Te Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga. The bylaw is the instrument, this the map of it, the rulebook: [rules](https://www.chch.live/rules).
**1** parcel inside this outline sits on the hazardous-activities register, mostly vehicle refuelling, service and repair. A listing records the work, not a soil test; the register is at [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards).
The files record **42** parcels of made or characterised ground inside this outline, mostly silt, pitrun, topsoil, 2 carry fill the file can’t vouch for. A record is the file’s word on what was laid, not a fresh survey; the layer is at [fill](https://www.chch.live/fill).
**1** parcel inside this outline carries a cleanup on the file. A cleanup on the file is the register’s word, not a clearance; the register is at [remediated](https://www.chch.live/remediated).
The 2019 liquefaction study put **75%** of this outline in the **medium** class, and 3 assessed areas here carry the free-face flag for possible lateral spreading. A class is the model’s verdict on a patch of ground, not a finding about an address; the study is at [vulnerability](https://www.chch.live/vulnerability).
The council’s structure register stands **2** assets on this ground, 1 ramp, 1 shelter, sited at Edgar Macintosh Park, Paddling Pool Edgar Macintosh. Site names are the register’s own labels; the layer is drawn on [the map](https://www.chch.live/map?layer=structures).
The recreation register keeps **2** records inside this outline, bookable surfaces for 1 cricket, 1 rugby. Seasons and surfaces are the register’s record, not this week’s draw; the layer is drawn on [the map](https://www.chch.live/map?layer=recreation).
The register counts **1322** living trees inside this outline, **2** veterans among them, 48 carrying a protection, mostly Yoshino Cherry, Painted Mona Maple, Scarlet Oak. The file remembers **582** trees felled here. A tree record is the register’s word on what stands or stood; the canopy is at [trees](https://www.chch.live/trees).
The plan files **69%** of this outline under **Residential Suburban**, **79%** residential, the rest mostly Transport 17%, Medium density residential zone 11%. A zone is a permission, not a description, the mix is a sampled read of the plan’s polygons; the district’s zoning is at [zones](https://www.chch.live/zones).
The plan reserves about **3 hectares** of this outline, **2%** , under 1 designation, mostly learning. A designation is a claim on the ground, not a build date, the mix is a sampled read; the register is at [designations](https://www.chch.live/designations).

## The names on this ground (3)
- [Taylor's Drain](https://www.chch.live/river/taylors-drain), waterway · 1.5 km
