Large cracks between concrete slabs in a pathway beside the Southern Region Coastguard Waimakariri-Ashley boathouse on Charles Street in Kaiapoi show how the land has slumped towards the river.
The Canterbury Civil Defence Duty Manager, James Thompson, says the Waimakariri River could breach its banks just south of Kaiapoi, and as a preacaution they have evacuated the Riverlands Holiday Park.
Photograph captioned by Fairfax, "Risk revealed: Ten years ago the Northern Outlook printed a front page story about possible damage from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in the land between the Ashley and Waimakariri rivers".
