Central Elgin Regeneration: Public Design Charrette

A consultant team has been appointed by The Moray Council, on behalf of the Moray Economic Partnership, to facilitate a public design charrette for Central Elgin. A charrette is an intensive consultation that engages local people in the design of their community. The fundamental aim is to involve local residents, business, and stakeholders in planning the future of Central Elgin. The charrette will be part funded by the Scottish Government through their Charrette Mainstreaming Programme 2014-15.

Planning and Design workshops were held at St Giles Church over a four day period running from 2-5 March 2015. The local community, designers and specialists worked together to prepare a long term vision, development framework and action plan for the Lossie Green and Cooper Park area. The Public Design Charrette follows on from the mini-charrette held in March 2014.

A report back session on 19 March at St Giles Church provided a final opportunity to hear a presentation of the proposals and agree next steps. The vision, development framework, and action plan that has emerged from the charrette will be published over the coming months.
