About Holyrood
The town
Holyrood sits at the head of Conception Bay, with about 2,500 people in 2021 on roughly 126 km². It is about a 30-minute drive to St. John's by the Trans-Canada Highway, or 45 km along the Conception Bay Highway. Settlement goes back to at least 1689; the sheltered harbour, rich in caplin and squid for bait, served fishing vessels bound for the Grand Banks. It was incorporated in 1969. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro's oil-fired Holyrood Thermal Generating Station, opened in 1970 and rated at 500 MW, stands in the town. The town council issues development permits under its Municipal Plan and Development Regulations and the plan falls under the St. John's Urban Region Regional Plan. The nearest 24-hour emergency department is at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's.
Around it
The planning area is rugged and well forested, with hills over 270 m, small ponds and the North Arm and South Arm rivers. Much of the south is the North Arm Brook watershed, held in reserve for the town's future water supply and limited to conservation and passive recreation. Land designated Rural is meant for farming, forestry and outdoor recreation; a house there is allowed only alongside a commercial farm or similar use. Lots without town services need Service NL approval for the well and septic system before a permit. Butter Pot Provincial Park, 2,833 hectares of forest, bog and ponds, is a short drive away on the Trans-Canada. St. John's International is the nearest airport with scheduled flights.
