The Angus Local Plan Review (2009), has outlined 2.25 hectares of land for a new sports ground and associated facilities to be constructed north of Shanwell Road and west of Balmachie Road. It would be adjacent to Carnoustie High School, the local authority has said.
Angus Council is currently holding a consultation with the community of Carnoustie in relation to the plans. The plans would see two 100x60m football pitches created; or, alternatively, one of the pitches could be replaced with a 120x70m pitch, which is the minimum requirement for a rugby union pitch.

A new access road and car parking, two changing room containers and an underground sustainable urban drainage (SUDS) facility, to allow for the draining of the pitches and car park, are also included in the proposal.
A public meeting will be held on the proposals next week – Wednesday 8 October. in the Beach Hall at Carnoustie sea front, from 7pm.
The closing date for comments to the proposals is Monday 27 October 2014.
