Our ambition is to achieve a diverse, thriving town with high quality destination streets and varied, attractive, accessible places for all making the most of Weymouth’s stunning waterfront locations.
The regeneration programme is centred on four key sites that frame Weymouth’s harbour and town centre:
1. North Quay
2. Weymouth Bowl
3. The Peninsula
4. West Marina
Together, these sites represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the town’s relationship with its waterfront - creating new homes, jobs, public spaces, and commercial opportunities while preserving its maritime heritage.
Why isn’t this looking at the whole of Dorset?
Whilst this project is starting in Weymouth, Portland and Chickerell. The ripple effect of this work will enhance the whole of Dorset.
Weymouth, Portland and Chickerell are central to our vision for a better future, one that blends heritage, innovation, and opportunity. Through strategic regeneration, we’re unlocking the area’s potential to become a vibrant, inclusive, and future-ready destination.
What next
This vision is already taking shape through:
- infrastructure upgrades like sea wall repairs and harbour investments
- new retail arrivals including Primark, boosting footfall and confidence
- cultural celebrations like Ironman’s 10th anniversary and a reimagined Seafood Festival
Our regeneration respects its natural beauty and cultural legacy.
A focus on conservation and archaeology will aim to:
- preserve the area
- enhance natural habitats
- deliver public realm improvements
