Latest plans for Poole waterfront unveiled
Harbourside Park could include meadows and better access to the water
The latest ambitious plans for Poole waterfront have been unveiled.
Harbourside Park - encompassing both Baiter and Whitecliff - could include more meadows, adventure trails, better access to the water and a dog agility zone.
A second consultation is now underway.
Following the engagement, ECA Architects have made recommendations for the park to BCP Council.
The proposed buildings, pontoons and park structures are likely to be the most significant projects.
The Whitecliff Pavilion has been identified as having huge potential by the community that use or would like to use it.
People would also like to see improved facilities/buildings, provided all year round at both the Baiter and Whitecliff ends of the park.
These facilities are envisaged to be mixed-use (e.g. toilets, café, changing facilities etc) which could be developed by the council, or in collaboration with businesses and community groups.
Since the Masterplan has a 10-year lifespan, it is anticipated that projects will be delivered as and when funding opportunities allow.
The next steps are to take the Masterplan images and report to Cabinet, which is likely to happen in Summer 2023.
