About Torbay
The town
Torbay sits on the northeast Avalon Peninsula about 10 km north of St. John's, above Torbay Bight. It had about 7,850 people in 2021, down 0.6% from 2016, on about 35 km². English fishermen settled first; Irish settlers who came from the late 1700s leaned more to farming, selling crops in St. John's once a road opened in 1820. The town was incorporated in 1972. An RCAF airbase built here in 1941 became today's St. John's International Airport, the nearest with scheduled flights. The Town of Torbay's planning and development department issues building and development permits; on lots without town water and sewer, Service NL sets the well and septic requirements before a permit is issued. The nearest 24-hour emergency department is at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's.
Around it
In the town's Rural zone a house is allowed only alongside farming or forestry; the Agriculture zone allows a house at council's discretion. A Watershed zone protects ponds used for drinking water, and a stewardship area over the western half of town covers wetlands used by waterfowl. Building in a mapped floodway needs provincial Water Resources Management approval. Two East Coast Trail paths start in Torbay: Father Troy's Trail, about 9 km along the cliffs to Flatrock, and Silver Mine Head Path south to Outer Cove past Middle Cove Beach. Shorter town trails run around Upper Three Corner Pond Park.
