Port Royal Concept Plan

The Port Royal 2020 Concept Plan seeks to restore Port Royal (and the wider area) as a world class heritage, environmental and cultural attraction while upgrading its physical infrastructure and improving the economic and social conditions. You can download a complete copy of the concept plan or continue scrolling to browse the individual sections.

Introduction of the Project Area

Port Royal is located to the south of the country’s capital Kingston and the Kingston Harbour. Its immediate area extends for some two hundred (200) acres to the tip of the Palisadoes. In 1692, a severe earthquake and tidal wave struck and a large portion of the town was devastated.

Port Royal's Existing Realities

The community of Port Royal faces several challenges. Among these are issues affecting the natural environment, inadequate housing solutions, inadequate infrastructure systems (sewerage, water, roads, drainage, public amenities, among others).

  • Proposed Land Use
  •  Historic Revitalization
  • Development of Historic Sites
  • Housing Development
