Want to find out the latest on the Weymouth Quay Regeneration Project? Then come along to Weymouth Library and speak to the project team.
A public drop in session will take place on Monday 18 November from 2pm until 7pm.
The team will talk you through the initial concept drawing for the scheme. They will also show you the timeline of the project which aims to transform a redundant quayside area of Weymouth.
The Weymouth Quay Regeneration Project aims to sustain and create jobs in Weymouth by:
- delivering a harbour ‘centre of excellence’ building for small-medium enterprises
- improving the harbour’s facilities
- increasing visitor numbers to the area
Here is the timeline for the project.
Karyn Punchard, Dorset Council Corporate Director for Place Services, said:
“This is a great opportunity for people to find out about the Weymouth Quay Regeneration Project and to give their views on the scheme.
“Anyone with an interest in the outcome of this project should come along to the event on 18 November.”
Weymouth Quay Background
In March 2019 Dorset Council, in partnership with the Weymouth Area Development Trust, was awarded £3.79m of investment from the Government’s Coastal Communities Fund.
The bid was submitted on behalf of Weymouth’s Coastal Communities Team.
Earlier this month, Dorset Council appointed Austin-Smith:Lord as architects for the development.

Just Friday to Monday to get there – why no more notice?
Hi Jo, we wanted to let the harbour users see the project details first as a courtesy. Their briefing happened on Friday, which is why this was made public just after that. Apologies if four days wasn’t long enough. I’ll feed that back. Best wishes, Kate
