The council’s plans for the Cultural Heart have already changed previously due to financial constraints.
In June last year, it was announced that the museum and gallery would be housed together in the former library building at Princess Alexandra Walk, instead of separately, as was originally envisaged.
The art gallery and museum are expected to be delivered in later phases of the plan, between 2026 and 2030, along with an urban park, live entertainment venue, car park and a Queen Street development whose use remains uncertain.
Phase One is expected to be completed by Winter 2025, with work due to get under way next month.
