    DUNOON and COWAL Profile

    www.argyll-bute.gov.uk DUNOON and COWAL Profile February 2019 Welcome to Dunoon - a town for the 21st century Dunoon is the main town on the Cowal Peninsuala, once a popular destination for holiday-makers from Glasgow up until the 1960s. The town has much to offer thanks to its close ties to the Central Belt by road, by ferry and digital infrastructure. The regeneration work, led by Argyll and Bute Council, is not simply restoring the town to its former glory, but creating a town fit for 21st century citizens. The marvellous wooden pier has already undergone its first phase of refurbishment. The iconic Queens Hall is being remodelled at a total cost of £8m to create exciting gathering spaces for local residents and visitors, both inside and out. Incorporating a new public realm and road layout, this will revitalise the access to the town centre. Over the next five years, a Conservation Area Regeneration project will upgrade key buildings in the town centre to improve the route between the newly refurbished Burgh Hall and the Queens Hall. Historic Environment Scotland is providing £1,002,348 of grant funding and Argyll and Bute Council is providing £500,000 of match funding. The total projected budget, including owners’ contributions, is over £1,889,000. Council infrastructure The council is leading a project entitled Smarter Places which is looking at the use of public sector buildings in the town to co-locate and revitalise the town centre. This includes plans for an advice hub situated on the main bus route in or around Dolphin Hall.
