We present \textit{ALMA} 1.3 mm and 0.86 mm observations of the nearby (17.34 pc) F9V star q1 Eri (HD 10647, HR 506). This system, with age ${\sim}1.4$ Gyr, hosts a ${\sim}2$ au radial velocity planet and a debris disc with the highest fractional luminosity of the closest 300 FGK type stars. The \textit{ALMA} images, with resolution ${\sim}0.5''$, reveal a broad (34{-}134 au) belt of millimeter emission inclined by $76.7{\pm}1.0$ degrees with maximum brightness at $81.6{\pm}0.5$ au. The images reveal an asymmetry, with higher flux near the southwest ansa, which is also closer to the star. Scattered light observed with the Hubble Space Telescope is also asymmetric, being more radially extended to the northeast. We fit the millimeter emission with parametric models and place constraints on the disc morphology, radius, width, dust mass, and scale height. We find the southwest ansa asymmetry is best fitted by an extended clump on the inner edge of the disc, consistent with perturbations from a planet with mass $8 M_{\oplus} {-} 11 M_{\rm Jup}$ at ${\sim}60$ au that may have migrated outwards, similar to Neptune in our Solar System. If the measured vertical aspect ratio of $h{=}0.04{\pm}0.01$ is due to dynamical interactions in the disc, then this requires perturbers with sizes ${>}1200$ km. We find tentative evidence for an 0.86 mm excess within 10 au, $70{\pm}22\, \mu$Jy, that may be due to an inner planetesimal belt. We find no evidence for CO gas, but set an upper bound on the CO gas mass of $4{\times}10^{-6}$ M$_{\oplus}$ ($3\,\sigma$), consistent with cometary abundances in the Solar System.
