Developing a Local Place Plan for Dunoon & Kirn
Gathering feedback on the first draft
Over the past year and more Dunoon Community Development Trust has been working to
develop a Local Place Plan and a Community Action Plan for Dunoon and Kirn. 
What have we done so far
Since May 2024 we have been talking to local people and organisations about their
aspirations for our local area and exploring some of the challenges faced by people who live,
work and learn here. This has been done through a series of thematic events and surveys,
through desk-based research, and by working with a small team of Community Connectors. 
Using the information gathered, we have developed the first draft of the Local Place Plan
and Community Action Plan. This first draft of the plan contains 32 projects focused on land
and building assets within the Dunoon and Kirn Community Council area. 
View the plans
You can review the plan by going to: dunoonandkirnlocalplaceplan.org

Gathering Feedback
The final version of the Local Place Plan will be submitted to Argyll and Bute Council for
approval in October 2025, so there is plenty of time to look at the plan and add your
feedback. 
You can provide feedback in a number of ways:
1. Look at the plan and complete the Dunoon and Kirn Local Place Plan survey.
2. Attend a Local Place Planning event (more events will be added soon)
3. Contact us with your comments here> 
Tell us your ideas
If you have an idea that could improve a location in Dunoon and Kirn, for example, a
building or piece of land, that is not already included in the Local Place Plan, you can submit
your idea here> 
We look forward to reviewing the feedback from across our community to inform the final
version of the Local Place Plan and Community Action Plan.
