Fife Council is developing a masterplan to transform Kirkcaldy for generations to come, with a shared vision for the town that encompasses a range of projects.

The council is hoping to attract funding from the UK Government's Growth Mission fund to deliver the programme of work.

The council has appointed Collective Architecture and Montagu Evans to lead the development of proposals for the high street and waterfront areas. The project will involve a phased approach, including expert-led workshops and extensive engagement with community groups and business representatives. Findings from this work are expected to be reported to the Cabinet Committee by late 2025 or early 2026.

Ken Gourlay, Chief Executive of Fife Council, said the project is a "huge opportunity" for the town, which could help make "great progress" towards creating a "vibrant, inclusive and economically resilient town."

Councillor David Ross, Leader of Fife Council, added that the council has a "clear goal of regeneration" and that local people will be involved at every stage of the plan's development and implementation. Further updates on the plan and opportunities for community engagement will be announced as they become available.
