Fort William 2040 (FW2040)

Engagement

FW2040 Consultation

Initial consultation took place between 2018 and 2019, involving a wide range of stakeholders, including local communities, young people, businesses, and public sector partners. This helped shape the original Masterplan and establish the long-term vision for Fort William.

Subsequent engagement, including the 2022 public consultation event and the 2024 Town Centre Masterplan exhibition, has built on this earlier work. 

Town Centre Masterplan

The Town Centre Masterplan formed a key part of the wider FW2040 project, which has included a programme of consultation and engagement with communities, stakeholders, and partners. A 4-week public exhibition of the Masterplan was hosted in Fort William Library on the High Street in February and March 2024.

A range of community engagement work, including sessions with students at UHI NW+H, Lochaber High School pupils, and with local businesses through the Lochaber Chamber of Commerce, has also been completed.
