Perry Bay Redevelopment to Include Housing, Marina and Waterfront Commercial District

Government Plans Perry Bay Redevelopment With Housing, Marina and Waterfront Commercial District

The government is planning a major redevelopment of the Perry Bay area that will include new housing, waterfront commercial lots and a marina, Prime Minister Gaston Browne announced Sunday.

Speaking on the Brown and Brown Show, Browne said the project will transform approximately 15 acres of reclaimed land while improving living conditions for residents currently occupying informal housing in the area.

“What we want to do is create some housing so that the people who live in Perry Bay, some of them live in squalor. We want to take them out of squalor and put them into some nice units there,” Browne said.

He said the redevelopment will feature a mixed-use layout, combining residential and commercial development along the waterfront.

“We’re going to have some commercial lots right on the waterfront and possibly a marina as well,” he said.

Browne said the project will require adjustments to the existing road network to maximize the site’s development potential.

“We’re going to move the road at the back too, in front of those houses,” he said.

The prime minister said the government intends to ensure the redevelopment does not negatively affect local fishermen.

“Obviously, [we will] make sure we do not harm the place’s fishermen,” Browne said.

He described the Perry Bay initiative as one of several major projects being pursued under the government’s national development programme, alongside planned developments at Fort James, Darkwood Beach, Christian Valley and the Diamonds Agro-Industrial Park.

Browne said the government has adopted an approach that focuses on delivering individual projects rather than relying solely on long-term development plans, with each initiative contributing to broader national economic and social development goals.
