Port Moody CentreBritish Columbia

Port Moody Centre is the principal town centre of the City of Port Moody — the Tri-Cities municipality on Burrard Inlet east of Burnaby. The city is bounded by Burrard Inlet (north + west), Coquitlam (east + south), and is anchored by the Moody Centre + Inlet Centre SkyTrain stations on the Millennium Line Evergreen Extension (opened December 2, 2016).

The Moody Centre Transit-Oriented Development Area framework (rooted in the 2014 OCP review and adopted into the OCP by Council in 2017) governs the upzoning around Moody Centre Station — significant mid-rise + high-rise residential redevelopment along Spring Street + Murray Street + the immediate station radii. The Inlet Centre Station vicinity around Ioco Road + Newport Drive has seen a separate redevelopment wave centred on the Suter Brook Village master-planned community (Onni Group, 2007 onwards) and the adjacent Newport Village commercial node.

Rocky Point Park at Burrard Inlet + Moody Street is the structural amenity — a continuous waterfront park with the Rocky Point Pier, the Old Mill Boat House, the Shoreline Trail walking corridor (connecting east through Old Mill Park and Town Centre Park toward Coquitlam), Brewers Row (the cluster of craft breweries along Murray Street + Spring Street that includes Yellow Dog Brewing, Twin Sails Brewing, Moody Ales, Parkside Brewery, and others), and seasonal events including Rocky Point Summer concerts.

For schools, most Port Moody Centre addresses feed Heritage Woods Secondary (1300 David Avenue, in southwest Coquitlam) or Port Moody Secondary (300 Albert Street, in the City of Port Moody itself) for grades 8–12 — both in SD #43 (Coquitlam) which serves Port Moody as well. Port Moody Secondary runs an IB World School Programme. Elementary feeders include Moody Elementary, Pleasantside Elementary, and Eagle Mountain Middle School (the SD #43 middle-school stream). If a particular school matters, the attendance area is set by address and easy to confirm with the district.

By transit, Moody Centre Station (Spring Street + Buller Street) and Inlet Centre Station (Newport Drive + Ungless Way) provide direct Millennium Line access — downtown Vancouver via Commercial-Broadway transfer is 30–40 minutes door-to-door. The West Coast Express Port Moody Station sits adjacent to Moody Centre SkyTrain Station, providing weekday-peak commuter rail to Waterfront Station (5 trips each direction).

By car, downtown Vancouver is 25–40 minutes via Highway 1; SFU (Burnaby Mountain) is 15–25 minutes south via the Burnaby Mountain Parkway. The combination of two SkyTrain stations + WCE + Rocky Point Park + Brewers Row + Burrard Inlet waterfront makes Port Moody Centre one of the most transit-and-amenity-rich Tri-Cities neighbourhoods.

Bill 44 SSMUH + Bill 47 TOA apply — Port Moody adopted compliant zoning bylaws ahead of the June 30, 2024 provincial deadline. Most residential RS lots are multiplex-eligible (3-4 units, up to 6 near frequent transit). Bill 47 Transit-Oriented Areas tier radii (200m / 400m / 800m) around both Moody Centre + Inlet Centre stations layer additional density entitlements on top of the City's existing Moody Centre Station Plan.

Elementary feeders include Moody Elementary, Pleasantside Elementary, and Eagle Mountain Middle School (the SD #43 middle-school stream). The IB Diploma is an application stream within SD #43 — admission is competitive, not pure catchment.

Rocky Point Park at Burrard Inlet + Moody Street is the structural amenity — continuous waterfront park with the Rocky Point Pier, the Old Mill Boat House, the Shoreline Trail walking corridor (connecting east through Old Mill Park and Town Centre Park toward Coquitlam), and seasonal Rocky Point Summer concerts.

Brewers Row along Murray + Spring Street — Yellow Dog Brewing, Twin Sails Brewing, Moody Ales, Parkside Brewery, and others — anchors the contemporary cultural identity. The Newport Village commercial node (around Inlet Centre Station + Suter Brook Village) covers the second commercial cluster. The combination is unusual at this scale in the Tri-Cities.

Two Millennium Line SkyTrain stations: Moody Centre + Inlet Centre, both opened December 2, 2016 with the Evergreen Extension. Downtown Vancouver via Commercial-Broadway transfer is 30–40 minutes door-to-door. The West Coast Express Port Moody Station sits adjacent to Moody Centre SkyTrain, providing weekday-peak commuter rail to Waterfront Station.

By car, downtown Vancouver is 25–40 minutes via Highway 1; SFU (Burnaby Mountain) is 15–25 minutes south via Burnaby Mountain Parkway. The combination of two SkyTrain stations + WCE + Highway 1 access makes Port Moody Centre one of the most transit-rich Tri-Cities neighbourhoods.
