## The encyclopaedia on it

Wainoni is one of the eastern suburbs of Christchurch. It is a lower socio-economic area.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wainoni%2C_Christchurch), 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 **$540 a week** in the April–June 2026 quarter, the middle half $440–$578, across 12 bonds, down 2% on a year ago. That’s about **$10 a week below** the city’s own quarter median of $550. Tenancy Services counts these under the “Wainoni” statistical area, close to this suburb’s outline, not exactly it.

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

## 2023 Census snapshot

About 2,865 people and 1,107 occupied private households, grouped from 20 SA1 areas in Wainoni. This exact statistical-area match is close to this suburb’s outline, not exactly it.

- 65 and over: about 14% (393 people)
- Born overseas: about 18% of stated birthplace
- European ethnicity: about 76% of ethnicity responses

- Households with two or more vehicles: about 50% 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 Wainoni
- Wainoni enters the written record in 1 January 1890, [“Looking towards Avon Ōtākaro River, 'Wainoni' - home and Pleasure Gardens at Tahuna Park built by Professor Bickerton, Christchurch”](https://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/object/273297), [Te Papa Collections Online](https://www.chch.live/collection/te-papa-collections-online).
- “Wainoni” appears somewhere in 187 of the archive’s records.
- A Papers Past search for the name surfaced 30 records, leads by provenance.
- The first report here: roading/streets, 10 June 2015, at Shuttle Dr.
- Its busiest day was 27 April 2016, 21 reports in a single day.
- The street that keeps coming up is [Pages Road](https://www.chch.live/street/wainoni/pages-road), reported on 293 separate days.
- For elections the suburb’s centre falls inside [Linwood ward](https://www.chch.live/wards/linwood), 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 (3,122 finished jobs on record)

The median council work order pinned in Wainoni 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.
123 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 10 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

2 sensitive sites stand here, Haeata Community Campus, He Waka Tapu, 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 84.9% of this outline, about 122 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 Crown’s 2011 classification drew 5.7% of this outline, about 8 hectares inside the residential red zone. A mapped area files under the suburb its middle sits in, and a classification is the record of a decision, not a finding about an address; the whole line is at [redzone](https://www.chch.live/redzone).
The 2011 grading filed 3.5% of this outline, about 5 hectares, mostly **TC3**. 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 flood record drew water over 12.9% of this outline, about 19 hectares, across 1 named event. A patch is one event’s observation, not a live hazard finding; the record is at [floods](https://www.chch.live/floods).
The plan’s schedule of sites significant to Ngāi Tahu covers **2%** of this outline, ngā wai. 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 **2%** of this outline 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 **1%** of this outline across **1** scheduled area. 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 **4%** of this outline inside **high flood hazard** ground, about 6 hectares across **2** mapped areas. The broader flood-management watch covers **22%** 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, **9** classified reaches, the plan calling **Porrit Park Loop** and **Avon River**
           by name, **3%** of it inside the setback strips, the widest holding **30 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 plan’s allowed shape holds this outline, **10%** 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 **1,450** 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, **5.9 km** of cycleway crosses the outline, [Te Ara Ōtākaro Avon River Trail](https://www.chch.live/cycleway/te-ara-otakaro-avon-river-trail). 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, **5** inscribed plaques, [Bickerton Reserve](https://www.chch.live/plaque/109283-bickerton-reserve), [Cuthberts Green](https://www.chch.live/plaque/70214-cuthberts-green), [Porritt Park](https://www.chch.live/plaque/285238-porritt-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, **5** drawn instruments, 1 of them dog rules, 4 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).
**8** parcels inside this outline sit on the hazardous-activities register, mostly chemical manufacture, application and bulk storage, vehicle refuelling, service and repair, cemeteries and waste recycling, treatment and disposal, 4 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 **60** parcels of made or characterised ground inside this outline, about 9 hectares, mostly sand, mixed fill with rubbish, pitrun, 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 **67%** of this outline in the **high** class, and 4 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 **12** assets on this ground, 5 ramps, 3 jetties, 2 boat ramps, 1 shelter, sited at Porritt Park, Cuthberts Green - Facilities. Site names are the register’s own labels; the layer is drawn on [the map](https://www.chch.live/map?layer=structures).
The register counts **777** living trees inside this outline, **7** veterans among them, 28 carrying a protection, mostly Pin Oak, Upright English Oak, Chinese Elm. The file remembers **408** 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 **37%** of this outline under **Residential Suburban**, **47%** residential, the rest mostly Specific Purpose (Otakaro Avon River Corridor) 16%, Industrial General 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 **8 hectares** of this outline, **6%** , 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 plan’s exceptions touch **3%** of this outline, 2 qualifying matters, mostly infrastructure, residential. 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).
GeoNet’s catalogue puts 2 magnitude-3+ epicentres inside this outline since the sequence opened, the biggest a M4.0 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).

## The names on this ground (1)
- [Avon River / Ōtākaro](https://www.chch.live/river/avon-river-otakaro), waterway · 29.2 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).
