Queensferry’s population has seen significant growth in recent years and is predicted to grow further by 2030.
We have a number of buildings and facilities in the local area, with many reaching the end of their usable life and no longer fit for purpose.
Previous engagement has told us that people would like services and facilities in a more central and accessible location.
Our vision
We listened to what people have said and are proposing a new community hub on Burgess Road: the new Queensferry Community Campus.
A community hub is a building that is open and accessible to the local community, providing services that the local community wants and needs.
Our initial plans for the new campus have been designed using the findings of past consultations and reports and focus on:
- a new Early Learning and Childcare Centre on the north end of Burgess Park, providing children with better quality outdoor space and a modern environment for learning and development
- enhancing greenspace and extending Burgess Park by removing the Road Depot on adjacent land
- providing additional classrooms at Queensferry Primary School by moving the Early Years facility to a new building and repurposing space within the school
- expanding playground space at Queensferry Primary School, replacing existing buildings in poor condition
- moving an improved and larger Queensferry library to the campus, with more community spaces, provision to deliver partner services and increase opening hours.
Take part in our consultation
We want to know what you think about our initial plans for the new community campus at Burgess Road.
You can complete the survey online on the Consultation Hub until Monday 21 April.
We are holding drop-in events in February and March where officers will be available to discuss plans and listen to people’s views:
- Thursday 6 February at Queensferry Library (12pm - 2pm) and Scotmid Co-Op (4pm - 6pm)
- Saturday 29 March at Tesco South Queensferry (10:30am – 1:30pm)
We will use the feedback to help shape our proposals as we develop more detailed plans. We are continuing to involve key stakeholders and community representatives at each stage of the project’s development.
Further information
The proposals for the hub are part of the 'Queensferry Living Well Locally' project to help make Queensferry greener, healthier and safer for everyone.
This project aligns with a number of our key plans and strategies, including:
- City Plan 2030

- Community Plan 2022-2028

- 20-Minute Neighbourhoods Strategy
Information on further plans to improve walking, wheeling and cycling connections to shops, services, and facilities in the local area will follow as related projects are developed.
