HIE Seeks Feedback On Next Phase Of Inverness Campus Development
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) is inviting the public to have their say on the next phase of development at Inverness Campus.
A public consultation is underway on plans for the further development of the campus, with a focus on updating the masterplan to reflect the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport status.
An exhibition of the proposals will be held at An Lòchran, 10 Inverness Campus, on Friday 24th January (11:00 AM - 6:00 PM) and Saturday 25th January (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM). Members of the design team will be available to answer questions and gather feedback from the public.
Follow-up events will be held at the same location on 21st February (11:00 AM - 6:00 PM) and 22nd February (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) to provide updates on the plans.
HIE has led the development of over 40 hectares of the Inverness Campus to date and is now seeking public input to shape the future of this important site.
Audrey MacIver HIE area manager with responsibility for Inverness Campus said: "This is about gathering feedback on our current plans for the next phase of development at Inverness Campus and using this to strengthen the proposals before we move forward.
"It's about maintaining momentum and building on the strong progress that's been made so far.
"We look forward to welcoming people this week and hearing their thoughts on the draft proposals. All the feedback we receive will be considered carefully as part of the planning application and there will be a further opportunity to input at the event in February before we finalise the masterplan."
HIE has been developing Inverness Campus since 2007 with construction starting in 2013. The development has supported the growth in key sectors such life sciences and encourages collaboration between business, academia and research.
Since its opening in 2015 the Campus has grown into a world-class business location and is already home to 16 commercial enterprises as well as organisations such as UHI, SRUC, NHS Highland and HIE.
Turnberry submitted a 'Proposal of Application Notice' to The Highland Council in December setting out plans for a programme of pre-application public consultation, with a view to a full planning application in the spring of 2025.
