Plans for the site will be developed over the next 20 to 30 years and includes provision for approximately 1,500 new homes, a school, a range of community facilities, open spaces and land which will be developed for business.
The development will represent a 'major' northward expansion of the Elgin settlement boundary and will stretch from Duffus Road to the A941 Elgin-Lossiemouth road.
The proposals will be displayed on Monday, 14 September from 3pm to 8pm at Moray College's Alexander Graham Bell Centre in Elgin.
