The Pier Head

The Helensburgh Partnership has gone out to tender for consultants to prepare a masterplan for the Pier Head Site.  Derek Anderson, Chief Executive, believes this is probably the most important piece of work that the Partnership will commission.

The Partnership has drawn up a shortlist of well-qualified and experienced consultants and has asked them to submit their proposals for preparing the masterplan.  Tenders were received before Christmas and it is anticipated that a successful team will be appointed by the beginning of February.  

The commission is due for completion by the end of May and design excellence will be a major consideration.  The local community will be consulted throughout.

The Pier Head Site is a level area of reclaimed land located on Helensburgh’s waterfront.  It extends to some 7 acres (2.8 hectares).

The Pier site is unique with outstanding views.  There is a strong body of opinion that residents and tourists alike deserve to be given the opportunity to take full advantage of it.
