## The encyclopaedia on it

Edgeware is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, to the north of the central city. It is centred on a cluster of some 20 shops that make up Edgeware Village on Edgeware Road near Colombo Street's northern end.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgeware), 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 **$525 a week** in the April–June 2026 quarter, the middle half $470–$580, across 108 bonds, up 6% on a year ago. That’s about **$25 a week below** the city’s own quarter median of $550. Tenancy Services counts these under the “Edgeware” statistical area, close to this suburb’s outline, not exactly it.
- 1-bedroom house, $520 a week · 63 new bonds
- 2-bedroom house, $510 a week · 15 new bonds
- 2-bedroom apartment, $473 a week · 9 new bonds
- 3-bedroom house, $680 a week · 9 new bonds
- 2-bedroom flat/unit, $433 a week · 6 new bonds

## The record on Edgeware
- Edgeware enters the written record in 19 January 1861, [“CHRISTCHURCH. (Lyttelton Times, 19 January 1861)”](https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/LT18610119.2.12), [Papers Past](https://www.chch.live/collection/papers-past).
- “Edgeware” appears somewhere in 410 of the archive’s records.
- A Papers Past search for the name surfaced 30 records, leads by provenance.
- The first report here: rubbish/recycling, 9 June 2015, at 172A.
- Its busiest day was 23 June 2018, 56 reports in a single day.
- The street that keeps coming up is [Geraldine Street](https://www.chch.live/street/edgeware/geraldine-street), reported on 406 separate days.
- For elections the suburb’s centre falls inside [Innes ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/innes), the [Papanui-Innes-Central community board](https://www.chch.live/boards/papanui-innes-central) is its local layer. The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards).

## How fast the council fixes things here (6,964 finished jobs on record)

The median council work order pinned in Edgeware took **3 days** to resolve, the city-wide median is 3 days, so this ground runs faster than the city as a whole.
The slowest tenth of finished jobs waited 2 months or longer.
140 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 28 May 2021.

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 ground that moved
The February 2011 survey drew mapped ground failure over 81.7% of this outline, about 79 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 flood record drew water over 27.1% of this outline, about 26 hectares, across 2 named events. A patch is one event’s observation, not a live hazard finding; the record is at [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods).
No high-hazard flood area covers this outline. The broader flood-management watch covers **58%** of it, Avon River, Dudley Creek. 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 **1%** of this outline 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, **24** classified reaches, the plan calling **St Albans Creek** and **Bings Drain**
           by name, **2%** of it inside the setback strips, the widest holding **7 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, **76%** of it inside the residential overlays, the densest standing **Medium Density**. 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 **1,741** photographs on this ground, 2009–2017, stormwater 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, **10.7 km** of cycleway crosses the outline. A segment counts under every suburb its path enters; the whole network: [cycleways](https://www.chch.live/cycleways).
The remembered names stand on this ground, **1** inscribed plaque, [St Albans Park](https://www.chch.live/plaque/310842-st-albans-park) among the grounds. The plaque is the register’s pin, not a surveyed spot; the whole roll: [plaques](https://www.chch.live/plaques).
The rulebook binds this ground, **7** drawn instruments, 2 of them dog rules, 1 alcohol ban, 1 camping zone, a certified self-contained van can stay the night at Christchurch Urban Restricted Area, 3 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).
**3** parcels inside this outline sit on the hazardous-activities register, mostly chemical manufacture, application and bulk storage, vehicle refuelling, service and repair, 1 still doing the work. A listing records the work, not a soil test; the register is at [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards).
The files record **24** parcels of made or characterised ground inside this outline, mostly peat, compacted hardfill, mixed fill with rubbish, 3 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).
**2** parcels inside this outline carry 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 **85%** of this outline in the **high** class, and 6 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 **4** assets on this ground, 2 shelters, 1 ramp, 1 boardwalk, sited at St Albans Park. 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 **15** records inside this outline, bookable surfaces for 6 football, 4 cricket, 1 croquet, 1 bowls. 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 **730** living trees inside this outline, 37 carrying a protection, mostly Kowhai, Golden Elm, Silver Birch. The file remembers **378** 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 **76%** of this outline under **Medium density residential zone**, **76%** residential, the rest mostly Transport 17%, Open Space Community Parks 5%. 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 **1 hectares** of this outline, **1%** , under 2 designations, mostly learning, movement. 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 plan’s exceptions touch **0%** of this outline, 1 qualifying matter, mostly nps matter. A matter narrows how the density rule applies, it does not forbid; the mix is a sampled read, and the cultural-significance areas are the plan’s own unnamed ones. The register is at [matters](https://www.chch.live/matters).

## The names on this ground (1)
- [Saint Albans Creek](https://www.chch.live/river/saint-albans-creek), waterway · 5.5 km

The named waterways, bays, headlands, monuments, summits and old sites OpenStreetMap puts inside this outline, a pin is the mapper’s own; a waterway belongs to every suburb it crosses. Every roll, counted: [geography](https://www.chch.live/geography).
