Draft Perth Air Quality Action Plan

Closes 16 Dec 2024

Opened 4 Nov 2024

Results expected 14 Feb 2025

Overview

The Perth Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) was first published in 2009. Perth has changed significantly since this time, and many of the original actions in the Action Plan have been completed or significantly progressed.

The Action Plan therefore needed a review and update to better address the current air quality situation in Perth City, including the introduction of a new suite of air quality improvement measures which we will focus on over the next 5 years

We are seeking your views on these draft measures, to determine which should be included within the final AQAP.

Why your views matter

Scottish Government Local Air Quality Management guidance requires local authorities to continually review and update their air quality action plans, with a full update every 5 years. We have therefore  undertaken a thorough review and update of the plan to ensure it addresses current air quality hotspots within Perth City.

As the newly updated plan has changed significantly from the original 2009 plan, our Environmental Health Team wishes to consult the public on the new and updated air quality improvement measures contained within the plan. These measures cover seven different topic areas and will be carried out over the course of the Plan’s 5 year lifespan.

The majority of this consultation process will be carried out online from this page, supplemented with drop-in sessions for those who would like to discuss the Plan with our Officers.
