Dounby's Place Plan

The Draft Dounby Community Plan has been developed in partnership with the Birsay Community Council and the Sandwick and Harray Community Council. The Community Plan details some of the changes that the community of Dounby would like to see within their village going forward. The Plan involves true partnership working, where teams from the Council (including Development and Marine Planning, Economic Development, Education, Tourism and LEADER) are working together with Voluntary Action Orkney (VAO), HiTRANS and Sustrans to assist the community in the development of a plan and actions that can truly be achieved.

This Local Place Plan provides an opportunity for the community to discuss and raise suggestions for the future of their village and create a dialogue between the Council and other key stakeholders.
