The Highland Council has announced a public consultation on the planned Gateway to the city in the Torvean area alongside the West Link Road project, which is due to commence in 2019.
The Torvean area of Inverness is changing. Stage 1 of the West Link road was opened in December 2017 and better connects people to this area. Stage 2 of West Link will soon get underway and this is creating great new opportunities at this important gateway to the City. We want to hear what people have to say about our ideas for the future of this area.
The Draft Torvean Gateway consultation has launched today and sets out bold plans to create a new leisure and recreation destination for the city. It sets the framework for the development of land around Stage 2 of West Link and will guide development of the former Torvean Golf Course to create a great new destination for locals and visitors.
The consultation will run until Friday 25 January. A public exhibition will be held on Thursday 10th January from 12 noon until 7pm at Charleston Community Complex where Officers will be on hand to discuss the plans with the public and answer any questions.
Deputy Provost Graham Ross said: "This document will shape the future of this part of the city for years to come. It is a great opportunity to deliver new facilities and places that help people to enjoy all that this area has to offer. I encourage everyone to go along to the public exhibition and to give us their views by commenting online."
