Your Waterfront • Your Future The Future of Dundee Reinventing Dundee From major European trading port in the 16th century to world-leading industrial hub in the 19th century, to internationally acclaimed centre for academia, research and technological innovation in the 21st century, the City of Dundee has never been afraid to shift focus and move with the times. Dundee is currently undergoing another transformation and is embracing the change that is needed to excel in diffi cult economic times. We are achieving this by making the most of a once in a generation opportunity to reconnect the city to a revitalised waterfront. This ambitious project is attracting investors and businesses to Dundee, which is in turn helping to boost the local economy and create employment. The newly developed waterfront will also provide a stunning space for the people of Dundee to enjoy and be part of, and enable us to grow as a 21st century waterfront destination. This project will come to symbolise the contribution of a generation to transform the city of Dundee. Unfolds Reconnecting Dundee The £1 billion project to reconnect the city to the waterfront is now underway. This redevelopment encompasses 240 hectares of land stretching 8km along the Tay and is expected to lead to the creation of 7,000-plus jobs as well as enhancing the city landscape. The project is being led by Dundee City Council, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government. The success of this long-term project, which commenced in 2001, is already starting to show with new buildings and businesses emerging and major attractions, such as V&A Dundee, promising great potential for the future. The Waterfront encompasses fi ve distinct areas that stretch from Invergowrie Bay in the West to Stannergate in the East. Running from West to East, the areas being developed are: Riverside | The Park Seabraes | The Brae The Central Waterfront | The Front City Quay | The Quay The Port | The Port Timeline - major milestones Dundee Waterfront Regeneration 2014 • Work starts on the creation of the central open space • Malmaison Hotel opens 2013 • Dundee’s new Olympia Swimming and Leisure Centre is constructed.

It accommodates Dundee Airport with direct fl ights to London Stansted operated by Loganair. Riverside also provides recreation and sporting resources as well as residential developments. A former landfi ll site has been transformed to create a 35 hectare nature park with views over the River Tay, which is intended to be used and accessed by all those living and working in the city. The people of Dundee have already played an important role in creating the Park – garden waste collected from homes across the city was used to treat the soil before the park was opened to the public in June 2011. Local fi rm H&H Properties have started work on the £40m development to build 202 fl ats which will consist of a mix of one, two and three bedroom fl ats and maisonettes. A new pedestrian bridge is being built to connect the creative district and Perth Road to Riverside.

The University of Abertay Dundee was the fi rst university in the world to offer a degree in Computer Games, while DC Thomson has for decades produced some of the world’s most loved and best known comics. A new pedestrian bridge is being created to link the University campus and the Creative Media District to the river. Seabraes will provide a dedicated space to build on these successes. It will become a hub for the digital media and cultural industries, incorporating both commercial and residential space. Seabraes is the city’s hub for digital media and The fi rst phase of new incubator space known as cultural industries. District 10 is completed. R K T H E B R A Cultural Waterfront | The Front The Central Waterfront is the focal point of the project and the defi ning factor that will mark its success. The ambitious development involves the demolition of bridge ramps, roads and buildings, which previously separated the city centre from the waterfront. In their place, a new grid iron street pattern, green civic space and attractive boulevards are reconnecting the city with the waterfront to produce a stunning space that will be dominated by the award-winning V&A Museum of Design Dundee building situated next to Captain Scott’s ship RRS Discovery. Dundee train station is well positioned in the central waterfront. Station improvements, the enhancement of the outside arrival space and a new 128 bedroom hotel to be operated by Sleeperz is underway to accommodate the increased number of commuters and visitors to the city. New hotels, offi ce, residential, accommodation, cafes, restaurants and retail outlets are required to support the expanding city. Malmaison Hotel is now open. T Dundee was shortlisted for the UK City of Culture 2017. N The city has just been offi cially recognised by the United Nations as a UNESCO O City of Design – the fi rst in the UK to be awarded the honour R F E H T V&A at Dundee will become a major destination and will give us an internationally recognised building. It will reward repeat visits and attract attention from around the world. A E Inspiring Waterfront | The Quay City Quay currently comprises a mix of contemporary E waterfront dwellings, the Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa, T H restaurants and a range of commercial and professional services in the historic warehouses. The buildings of the Quay surround the Victoria and Camperdown Docks are home to the North Carr Y Lightship and the U A Frigate Q Unicorn. E H T The redevelopment potential of the area is continuing with an exploration into the feasibility of creating, within the Camperdown Dock, Dundee’s only marina and T an Operations & Maintenance facility to support the offshore renewable project proposed at The Port. If feasible, a marina would provide a Dundee base for leisure boating on the Tay and should generate signifi cant tourist interest as a leisure destination. Dundee’s setting is probably more extraordinary than any other setting in the UK. It is about as ideal – ludicrously ideal – as any setting could be. Sustainable Waterfront | The Port O R T E P The Port of Dundee is the most northerly port owned by Forth Ports and is one of the largest economic generators in the city of Dundee. The port is strategically located on the east coast of Scotland, midway between Aberdeen and the central belt, and lies on the north side of the sheltered Firth of Tay. The port has the capacity to handle a wide range of bulk, agricultural and forest products. It is Scotland’s main agricultural hub with over 250,000 tonnes of agricultural products moving through the port annually. The port provides inspection, repair and maintenance of jackup and semisubmersible drilling rigs and support vessels for the North Sea oil and gas industry. The Dundee Waterfront is aiming to be an exemplar of sustainability best practice and expected to become Scotland’s fi rst area based project with an ‘Exemplar’ rating from BREEAM, the world’s leading assessors of sustainable buildings. Your Waterfront People are at the heart of our new waterfront. Without the forward-thinking attitude of the local people including the city region and the support of the Scottish Government, we would not be able to deliver this ambitious transformational project. Throughout the project, we will do our best to keep you informed of progress and are interested in hearing your views. This is a huge project and the changes we are implementing will occasionally create some disruption. We are doing our best to manage this.

In doing so the Partnership noted that the four SOAs had been formally signed by the Chair/Deputy Chair on behalf of Tactran during May/June 2009 and agreed to receive periodic reports on progress towards supporting the delivery of SOA outcomes. 2.2 Officials have continued to work on embedding the Partnership as an active member of the four Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs). Each of the CPPs is progressing the development of its SOA and associated Delivery Plan and Tactran officials are contributing to this process through attendance at the relevant CPP management groups and/or relevant CPP thematic groups, principally those dealing with the economy and environmental issues. This continues to be a significant and growing area of work for officers. 2.3 This report deals with the Dundee City SOA Delivery Plan. Reports on other SOAs and associated Delivery Plans will be brought forward to the Partnership for formal comment and endorsement as these progress, in line with Scottish Government expectations that all public bodies commit formally to supporting the delivery of SOAs.

    Additional Support for Learning in Dundee Supporting Learning in Dundee Information for Parents and Young People Dundee City Council Education Department 1 Additional Support for Learning in Dundee Information for Parents 1. Policy in relation to provision for additional support needs Dundee City Council Education Department’s policy in relation to provision for additional support needs is currently under review to take account of the new requirements under the Education (Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act which commenced in November 2005. You can find out how children are supported in your child’s school when they have additional support needs by contacting the Head Teacher. 2. What are ‘additional support needs’? A child or young person is said to have additional support needs if he or she is unable to benefit from school or pre-school education without help which is additional to that which is normally given to children or young people of the same age. Additional support needs can arise from a variety of circumstances. These fall broadly into four categories. The learning environment might cause a child or young person to need additional support e.g. a child or young person whose first language is not English might need additional support until they become comfortable in using English. Family circumstances may give rise to additional support needs. Examples might include bereavement, divorce, any kind of family breakdown, a child or young person being looked after by the local authority, a young person becoming a parent. Disability or health needs might mean that additional support is required. For example, a child or young person who has difficulties associated with mobility, sight, hearing, communication, autistic spectrum disorder, learning difficulties, or mental health problems.

There are many reasons for devoting proper attention to planning objectives but they can be summarised as follows: with properly drafted planning objectives, the planning organisation can be much more confident that the proposals it produces will actually deliver the desired changes. 1.2 A brief note was circulated to Steering Group members last month in which a draft set of planning objectives was proposed. At that point, the objectives had been drawn up on the basis of the workshop held in Dundee on August 30th. Since then, further information has been gleaned from the on-train surveys and focus groups conducted during September. Comments were also received from Steering Group members on the draft objectives. This note takes those various inputs into account. 1.3 The purposes of this note are to provide revised draft planning objectives and to establish the foundations of the appraisal framework which will be used to assess options later in the study. Consultation details are attached to this working paper. Planning objectives Planning objective (PO) 1 – accessibility 1.4 The strongest message from all our information-gathering was that, at present, rail does not facilitate as many desired journeys as it might.
