Waterfront Findings to be Presented

SCOTTISH Enterprise Dumfries and Galloway, in partnership with Dumfries and Galloway Council will be presenting the initial findings of the Stranraer Waterfront Development Framework with a series of public consultations.

The two week consultation process will begin on Monday and will inform stakeholders and members of the public of the potential options for development on the Waterfront site.

Consultation began in October with the appointment of The MacKenzie Partnership and since then the independent property and consultation specialists have undertaken extensive consultations with stakeholders, landowners as well as a wider public consultation.

Based on this information, the results of extensive reviews and feasibility studies and their wealth of waterfront redevelopment experience, MacKenzie Partnership have produced a draft strategic development framework.

This sets out the "vision" for Stranraer and Lochryan and highlights a number of projects and activities necessary to underpin and realise its objectives. It builds upon the natural resource of the loch and aims to diversify the area's economy, in order to maximise new opportunities and enhance sustainability.
