The draft Perth City Development and Design Framework sets out the long-term aspirations for the development of Perth.

Feeding into this are two other consultations asking residents for their views on future developments in Perth – the future of Bell’s Sports Centre and the city’s Secondary School estate.

Perth and Kinross Council leader Councillor Grant Laing, said: “We want to create a vibrant, thriving Perth where everyone can live life well, free from poverty and inequality.

“How we use our buildings – whether for business, education or leisure – is key to achieving that aim as while our physical surroundings may change over time, our ambitions will not. Our Perth City Centre Development and Design Framework sets out how Perth can be transformed over time to suit the future needs of residents.

“But the city doesn’t belong to councillors. We want to hear what residents think on the Framework and other proposals that will reshape our Perth – whether that’s in the near future as with Bells Sports Centre, or longer terms projects, such as the secondary school estate in the city.”

Councillor Laing added: “Perth is a fantastic city and it is our responsibility to ensure it meets the needs of the people who live, work and visit here today, tomorrow and for generations to come.”

The three consultations are now open the Perth and Kinross Council consultation hub.
