The final version of a plan to transform Great Yarmouth town centre will be unveiled this evening.
At a meeting of Great Yarmouth Borough Council's economic development committee on May 9, councillors will be shown the full plans.
Early proposals showed a new cinema and restaurant development, a remodelled market and improvement to several thoroughfares and shopping areas.
The Town Centre Masterplan has been nearly two years in the making and a draft version was released at the end of last year and put out to public consultation.

• The Conge – New mixed use, residential led development lining up both sides of the lower half of the road
• Train station – Improving the overall arrival by experience by road and rail, including clear information signage and well lit spaces
• Hall Plain – Long term plan linked to introduction of third river crossing. The project aims to make it a 'premium leisure based development' with the creation of a food and drink quarter and promotion of guest houses and hotels
• The Rows – Design improvements with better signage and lighting
The project is scheduled to be delivered in three phases.
The second phase, between 2019 and 2020, is described as the earliest reasonable deadline by which such major capital projects can be designed, approved, funded and delivered.
