## The encyclopaedia on it

North New Brighton is a suburb on the northern side of Christchurch city. It was originally known as North Beach and was readily accessible from Christchurch city by tram. It was renamed North New Brighton in 1953. A large sports centre and swimming pool is on the same locale as the former Queen Elizabeth II Park. The centre was rebuilt and opened in 2018.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_New_Brighton), 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 **$560 a week** in the April–June 2026 quarter, the middle half $488–$595, across 21 bonds, flat on a year ago. That’s about **$10 a week above** the city’s own quarter median of $550. Tenancy Services counts these under the North Beach area, which takes in this coast with its neighbours.

## 2023 Census snapshot

About 4,107 people and 1,650 occupied private households, grouped from 27 SA1 areas in North Beach. Nearby statistical areas stand in for this place, so this is a proxy rather than a count for the suburb boundary.

- Under 15: about 20% (804 people)
- 65 and over: about 15% (603 people)
- Born overseas: about 18% of stated birthplace
- European ethnicity: about 89% of ethnicity responses
- Māori ethnicity: about 17% of ethnicity responses
- Pacific Peoples ethnicity: about 4% of ethnicity responses
- Asian ethnicity: about 4% of ethnicity responses
- Households with internet: about 83% of stated households
- Households with two or more vehicles: about 52% 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 North New Brighton
- North New Brighton enters the written record in 19 June 1880, [“CHRISTCHURCH. June 18. (North Otago Times, 19 June 1880)”](https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NOT18800619.2.12.2), [Papers Past](https://www.chch.live/collection/papers-past).
- “North New Brighton” appears somewhere in 56 of the archive’s records.
- A Papers Past search for the name surfaced 31 records, leads by provenance.
- The first report here: graffiti, 10 June 2015, at 5.
- Its busiest day was 24 March 2023, 25 reports in a single day.
- The street that keeps coming up is [Marine Parade](https://www.chch.live/street/north-new-brighton/marine-parade), reported on 374 separate days.
- For elections the suburb’s centre falls inside [Coastal ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/coastal), the [Coastal-Burwood-Linwood community board](https://www.chch.live/boards/coastal-burwood-linwood) is its local layer. The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards).

## How fast the council fixes things here (6,093 finished jobs on record)

The median council work order pinned in North New Brighton 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 3 months or longer.
198 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 16 December 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

**Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Park**, a public drinking ban (applies for a 24-hour period on the day of the Large-Scale Event, commencing at 12am and concluding at 11:59pm), covers about 27% of North New Brighton.
3 sensitive sites stand here, Avonside Girls' High School, Rawhiti School, Shirley Boys’ High School - Ngā Tama o Ōruapaeroa, and the Local Alcohol Policy restricts new off-licences within 200 m of them.

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 54.7% of this outline, about 109 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 220.2% of this outline, about 440 hectares, mostly **TC3**, with TC3 312 ha · TC2 128 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).
The mapped tsunami extent covers **17%** of this outline, about 35 hectares. The sea’s modelled reach, not a prediction, the plan’s inundation line, not the evacuation zones; the share is read from a sampled join. The whole extent is at [tsunami](https://www.chch.live/tsunami).
The plan’s schedule of sites significant to Ngāi Tahu covers **5%** of this outline, about 11 hectares, ngā tūranga tūpuna. Shares read from a sampled join; a recognition overlay, not a catalogue. The whole schedule: [cultural](https://www.chch.live/cultural).
The plan’s ecological schedules cover **4%** of this outline, about 8 hectares across **1** scheduled site, all of it protected under Schedule A. Shares read from a sampled join; a recognition overlay, not a survey. The whole ledger: [ecology](https://www.chch.live/ecology).
The plan’s landscape schedules cover **5%** of this outline, about 11 hectares across **2** scheduled areas, and **21%** of it sits inside the coastal environment. Shares read from a sampled join; a protection overlay, not a ranking of views. The kept view: [landscape](https://www.chch.live/landscape).
The plan’s flood map draws **2%** of this outline inside **high flood hazard** ground across **2** mapped areas. The broader flood-management watch covers **15%** 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 water-margin layers cross this outline, **4** classified reaches, the plan calling **Preece Drain** and **Kate Sheppard Stream**
           by name, **0%** of it inside the setback strips, the widest holding **7 m** off the bank, and an esplanade line holds a public edge here. 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 rebuild’s cameras filed **1,835** photographs on this ground, 2011–2016, 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, **4.1 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, **4** inscribed plaques, [Queen Elizabeth Ii Park](https://www.chch.live/plaque/310840-queen-elizabeth-ii-park), [Broad Park](https://www.chch.live/plaque/47030-broad-park), [North Beach](https://www.chch.live/plaque/82904-north-beach) 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, **8** drawn instruments, 2 of them dog rules, 1 alcohol ban, 2 camping zones, a certified self-contained van can stay the night at City Coastal Restricted Zone; the other zone bans it outright, 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, cemeteries and waste recycling, treatment and disposal. A listing records the work, not a soil test; the register is at [hazards](https://www.chch.live/hazards).
The files record **92** parcels of made or characterised ground inside this outline, about 30 hectares, mostly sand, engineered fill, buried topsoil, 1 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 **37%** of this outline in the **high** class. 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 **21** assets on this ground, 12 boardwalks, 3 ramps, 3 shelters, 3 sets of steps, sited at North Beach, Queen Elizabeth Ii Park -Facil, Queen Elizabeth Ii 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 **22** records inside this outline, bookable surfaces for 18 disc golf, 2 rugby, 1 football, 1 aussie rules. 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 **1350** living trees inside this outline, 5 carrying a protection, mostly Karo, Silver Birch, Kowhai. The file remembers **743** 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 **53%** of this outline under **Residential Suburban**, **56%** residential, the rest mostly Open Space Metropolitan Facilities 24%, Transport 13%. 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 **16 hectares** of this outline, **8%** , under 2 designations, 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 plan’s heritage schedule protects **1** place by name in this suburb, **Dwelling and Setting**. A setting is the ground the item stands in, each files under the suburb holding its centroid. The schedule is at [heritage](https://www.chch.live/heritage).
GeoNet’s catalogue puts 5 magnitude-3+ epicentres inside this outline since the sequence opened, the biggest a M3.9 in 2011. An epicentre is where the instruments placed the break, not a measure of the shaking here; the whole catalogue is counted at [sequence](https://www.chch.live/sequence), and the story in plain language is [the earthquakes explainer](https://www.chch.live/how-nz-works/canterbury-earthquakes).
