Heritage Burnaby records that the combined school opened in 1992 and replaced the former Jericho Hill School for the Deaf in Vancouver. 41 (Burnaby) before relying on it.

Where do students go after South Slope Elementary?

The secondary anchor for this side of Burnaby is Burnaby South Secondary, Grades 8 to 12, at 5455 Rumble Street, at the top of the slope. Address alone does not assign a student; confirm with the district.

Does the creek behind a house limit what I can build?

It can, and on this slope that is a common question because Frogger's Creek, Gray Creek, John Matthews Creek and Byrne Creek all cross the pocket. Burnaby's streams guide states that development within 30 metres of a stream triggers the streamside rules, with leave areas of 15 to 30 metres for Class A fish-bearing watercourses, set for the specific site by the Planning Department.

Is there salmon in the creek at the bottom of the slope?

Yes, in Byrne Creek. The Byrne Creek Streamkeepers, listed by the Burnaby Lake Park Association among Burnaby's streamkeeper groups, describe Byrne Creek draining a large urban watershed along the south slope of Burnaby, running through a ravine park and spawning habitat into the Fraser River, with rejuvenated populations of coho salmon, chum salmon and cutthroat trout monitored by volunteers.

South Slope by home type

South Slope: streets and boundaries

  • South Slope is the house pocket on the hill between Rumble Street at the top and Marine Drive at the bottom: the City's Royal Oak Community Plan map draws this slope with Rumble Street, Royal Oak Avenue, Marine Drive and Gilley Avenue as its working street frame.
  • The plan map names the slope's creeks, which double as its internal boundaries: Frogger's Creek, Gray Creek, John Matthews Creek and Byrne Creek all cross the plan area between Rumble Street and Marine Drive.

South Slope: the housing stock

  • The slope's existing form is low: the Royal Oak Community Plan's existing-height map shows the residential blocks south of Rumble Street at one to three storeys, with four storeys appearing only toward the station area.

South Slope: rules that affect buyers

  • The Royal Oak Community Plan, adopted in March 2025, is the plan layer for the slope's northern half: its Station Area District is bounded by Nelson Avenue to the west, MacPherson Avenue to the east, Imperial Street to the north and Rumble Street to the south.

South Slope: local details a buyer would not know

  • Two of the slope's schools are on Rumble Street's edge, not inside the house blocks: Clinton Elementary, kindergarten to Grade 7, at 5858 Clinton Street, and Burnaby South Secondary at 5455 Rumble Street both appear on the Royal Oak plan map as slope anchors.
  • Nelson Elementary is the slope's west-side school, at 4850 Irmin Street, and the Royal Oak plan map places Nelson Park beside it, above Rumble Street.
  • The bus that loops the slope also defines its edges: route 148 stops run along Rumble Street, down Nelson Avenue, along Marine Drive, and back up Gilley Avenue, tracing the pocket's perimeter.

South Slope: development and new projects

  • Royal Oak Community Plan, the slope's northern half and the Royal Oak Station area, City of Burnaby, community plan: covers the Station Area District between Nelson Avenue, MacPherson Avenue, Imperial Street and Rumble Street, and the slope streets down to Marine Drive — status: adopted March 2025 (as of November 3, 2026).

South Slope: costs and taxes

  • The slope-relevant utility line is garbage: the City's 2026 residential garbage disposal fee runs from $73 a year for a 120-litre toter to $447 for a 360-litre toter, with the 180-litre default at $159, before the 5% early-payment discount.

South Slope: getting around

  • Route 148 is the slope's own bus: TransLink runs it from Royal Oak Station via Beresford Street, Royal Oak Avenue, Rumble Street, Nelson Avenue, Marine Drive and Gilley Avenue to Edmonds Station, linking both ends of the pocket to the Expo Line.
  • Marine Drive is the bottom-edge road: it runs along the foot of the slope toward Vancouver at Boundary Road and toward New Westminster in the other direction, and the 148's Marine Drive stops serve the lowest South Slope streets.

South Slope: risks and due diligence

  • Check the SPEA boundary on every creek-adjacent lot: the City's application checklist requires site plans to identify applicable Streamside Protection and Enhancement Areas and any geotechnical hazards or setbacks, and on this slope the creek, not the property line, often sets the buildable area.
  • Check slope and drainage together: the Royal Oak plan maps open watercourses across the slope between Rumble Street and Marine Drive, so a lot can be affected by both a ravine bank and uphill runoff; the plan map shows the watercourses, not a lot-level geotechnical conclusion.
