Members were presented with a report which updated them on the progress made since the Argyll and Bute Harbour Board’s meeting in September 2018 when the background to the creation of the Oban Bay Management Group (OBMG) and the reasons for creating a Single Harbour Authority (SHA) were discussed.
Since the circulation of the report before them Members noted that the OBMG met on 1 March 2019 where the Oban Bay Stakeholders’ Group (OBSG) put their proposals for a SHA to CMAL and noted that the OBMG agreed not to promote a Harbour Revision Order for the time being and agreed to review its position at a later date if no legislation is promoted by 1 March 2020.
