The weather office has issued a yellow warning for strong winds along the coast from Thursday evening, with gusts of up to 90 kilometres an hour expected on exposed headlands.
Ferry services to the islands may be delayed or cancelled. Residents are asked to secure garden furniture and avoid walking on the harbour walls while the warning is in force.
The deputy mayor said the plan had been shaped by hundreds of comments from residents. "This is a better project because people told us what they needed," she said.
Local schools will be invited to follow the work, and a small exhibition about the plans will open in the central library next month.
