The natural beauty of Helensburgh’s cherished waterfront reminds us that sustainability must remain front and centre concerning new developments.

That’s why Helensburgh Community Council’s vision stands apart — promoting environmental health alongside community enrichment. By incorporating green initiatives into the blueprint, the HCC plan ensures responsible, forward-looking development.

Key sustainable features include:

• Promoting public transport links and pedestrian access to reduce reliance on cars

• Providing engaging activities for locals to reduce trips to outlying recreation areas

• Using existing infrastructure to limit environmental impact

• Retaining open green spaces and spectacular views intact for all to enjoy

• Exploring renewable energy options where practical

Friends of Hermitage Park and Plastic Free Helensburgh have already supported the bid’s alignment with conservation priorities. We’ve worked with our partners to ensure the development meets needs today without sacrificing tomorrow’s concerns.

The time is now to advocate for sustainable development that uplifts community spirit while respecting our stunning surroundings.
