Councillors have unanimously agreed a £2.4 million managed site for Gypsy/Travellers at Perth's Food and Drink Park.
Perth and Kinross Council (PKC) expects the transient site to have "minimal impact on the existing users and future sites" due to it being right on the edge of the business park.
While the council has a legal duty to support the Gypsy/Traveller lifestyle it is understood managing the site will allow PKC more power to move people on faster.
