Fife Council has appointed leading firms Collective Architecture and Montagu Evans to lead a bold new masterplan for the regeneration of Kirkcaldy Town Centre and its waterfront. This marks a major milestone in the Council’s ambition to revitalise the area and deliver long-term economic and social benefits for the community.

The appointment follows the Council’s recent decision to demolish the town’s two multi-storey car parks and aligns with the UK Government’s Growth Mission Fund, which has identified Kirkcaldy as a priority location for strategic investment.

The masterplan team will work closely with the Council, local partners, and the wider community to shape a forward-looking vision and delivery strategy. The project will include a series of engagement activities to ensure that residents, businesses, and community groups have a meaningful voice in shaping the town’s future.

Councillor Altany Craik, Spokesperson for Finance, Economy and Strategic Planning, said: “This is a pivotal moment for Kirkcaldy. With the expertise of Collective Architecture and Montagu Evans, we are committed to delivering a masterplan that reflects the ambitions of our community and creates real, lasting change.

Councillor Ian Cameron, Convener of the Kirkcaldy Area Committee added: “We want to hear from as many people as possible as we shape this exciting new chapter for the town.”

Further updates on the project and opportunities to get involved will be shared in the coming weeks.
