The future of Perth Harbour has taken a step forward with a deadline set for potential investors to reveal their plans.
Property consultancy Bidwells has put a closing date on expressions of interest in the site on the River Tay.
Stage one of the marketing process will close at noon on Monday November 24 though a number of parties have already lodged their interest.
Those groups have been asked to outline their business case and explain how investment would be made to maximise the use of the harbour as an economic asset.
The council, which agreed that the potential of the harbour would best be unlocked through private investment, would then decide whether to take the process on to the next stage.
It is not known whether the interested parties wish to develop the harbour commercially or for leisure uses.
