£530 Million Investment Prospectus Launched

Perth & Kinross Council has officially launched a bold, £530 million Investment Prospectus at the UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) 2025, setting out a compelling vision for sustainable, long-term growth across the region.

Presented to a high-profile audience of government representatives, private investors, developers, and funding bodies, the prospectus outlines eight transformative projects that collectively support Perth & Kinross’s ambitions to lead in sustainability and clean economic growth.

Spanning a 15-year period from 2025 to 2040, the portfolio covers market-ready opportunities, and longer-term investor-led partnerships in energy and net zero, the circular economy, food and drink, light industrial, travel and logistics, leisure and retail, accommodation in tourism and residential.

Featured investments include:

• Eco Innovation Park at Perth West
• Perth City Heat Network
• Strategic Energy Partnership
• Advanced Plastics Sorting and Upcycling Facility
• Binn Eco Park
• Northfield Business Park
• Cultural Quarter (Perth City Centre) Regeneration Project
• Mill Quarter (Perth City Centre) Regeneration Project

Perth & Kinross Council Leader, Councillor Grant Laing, commented: “Over the past six years, Perth and Kinross has demonstrated its commitment to building a modern, resilient, and inclusive economy through an impressive £600 million public investment programme. This has supported essential infrastructure, cultural development, and growth in key economic sectors.

“Now, the Investment Prospectus sets out a clear intention to build on these strong foundations, by providing an exciting platform for investor and developer-led partnerships, both domestically and internationally.

I believe the diversity and ambition of the projects on offer present a compelling case for doing business in Perth and Kinross. Alongside transformative, clean growth opportunities directly impacting our net zero ambitions, there are also traditional, property-based propositions designed to encourage and support existing business relocation into the area.”

The £530 million proposition complements the Council’s existing £600 million+ investment in infrastructure, key sectors, and the arts, creating a powerful springboard for future growth.
