Growth and Regeneration

Future proofing Torbay for generations to come by creating spaces and places for people to thrive.

We want Torbay to be a place where people of all ages want to live as well as visit. A place where everyone benefits from and enjoys a premier resort experience.

To do this we are:

  • Drawing investment into our towns to breathe life into our town centres
  • Partnering with the private sector to deliver major projects
  • Maximising heritage and cultural opportunities for the enjoyment and benefit of residents and visitors
  • Delivering priority capital projects within our Capital Programme
  • Improving journey times and access into and around Torbay
  • Improving the delivery, affordability and quality of housing for residents in Torbay
  • Growing skill levels and job opportunities

Torbay Story

Torbay is an outstanding place to live, work and visit and since January 2022 a forward looking, positive and compelling story of the Bay has been developed by a partnership of enthusiastic Torbay organisations and businesses. The Torbay Together Partnership has been speaking with partners, businesses and residents from across the Bay to understand what makes Torbay and its three towns of Brixham, Paignton and Torquay unique.

Whilst a magnet for tourists, the beautiful Tor Bay and its stunning natural environment also hosts hi-tech businesses and a vibrant arts and cultural scene. This all fits together amongst its incredible coastline and countryside.

The Torbay Together Partnership want to:

  • Put Torbay on the map.
  • Highlight the great things about the area and talk about the opportunities that are on offer.
  • Attract investment, inspire future generations, create jobs and attract funding from Government.
