The City of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, is moving forward with plans to redefine how the land at the former municipal pool site on Stapleton Road can be used. On February 3, 2026, the City Council adopted official changes to its municipal plan and development rules to allow for new projects at the property.

To gather community feedback, a public hearing took place at City Hall on February 26, 2026, where residents shared their thoughts on the proposed changes. The city also accepted formal written statements until February 24, 2026, to ensure local opinions were part of the official record regarding the site’s future.

Kieran Miller, the Manager of Development and Planning, is overseeing the project as the council looks to transform the vacant recreational site. These updates, known officially as Municipal Plan Amendment No. 29 and Development Regulations Amendment No. 77, will determine the future building potential for the neighbourhood property.
