The Dumfries and Galloway Council (Stranraer) Harbour Revision Order 2024
The Dumfries and Galloway Council (Stranraer) Harbour Revision Order 2024 is a Statutory Instrument that was made on 24th October 2024 and came into force on 8th November 2024. The Order has been made under the Harbours Act 1964 and authorises Dumfries and Galloway Council to make changes to the Stranraer Harbour.
The Order authorises the Council to:
- Construct a new breakwater;
- Dredge the harbour;
- Improve the harbour facilities; and
- Increase the harbour dues.
The Order also makes provision for the protection of the environment and the interests of navigation.
The Order was made after Dumfries and Galloway Council had carried out a public consultation on the proposals. The consultation showed that there was a high level of support for the proposals.
The Order is expected to have a positive impact on the Stranraer Harbour and the local economy. The new breakwater will provide better protection for the harbour from storms and will allow larger vessels to use the harbour. The dredging of the harbour will improve the depth of water in the harbour and will allow larger vessels to berth at the harbour. The improved harbour facilities will make the harbour more attractive to businesses and visitors. The increase in harbour dues will help to fund the cost of the improvements to the harbour.
The Order is a significant investment in the Stranraer Harbour and is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy.
