Cantabrians remain on edge with tremors continuing to rattle the city.
A 3.5 aftershock was felt just after midday, which followed two earlier tremors just after 10am.
One registering at 3.5 and the other 3.9.
A recent period of relatively little quake activity had given some a false sense of security and the latest jolts came as a shock.
The latest aftershocks follow four shakes in a period of 40 minutes last night, recorded at magnitudes of between 3.2 and 4.1.
GNS duty seismologist Lara Bland said the quakes are shallow so would have been widely felt across the city.
She said the aftershock sequence is continuing but the frequency will drop off in time.
Bland said around 290 aftershocks of more than 3.5 have been recorded since the big one three weeks ago.
Police Inspector Paul Fremaux said the earthquakes overnight
sparked a number of calls from concerned members of the public and
the quakes also shook the Christchurch Central police
station.
