Limerick City and County Council in collaboration with Metropolitan Workshop has developed an Options Report for public consultation, as the next key step in the preparation of the Arthur’s Quay Framework Plan.
The Framework Plan forms part of the World Class Waterfront project, funded though the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund, and will provide a comprehensive place-based approach for the redevelopment of the area, to encourage and guide site activation for public and private mixed use developments, and for capital investment in public realm to create an exemplar waterside destination and amenity.
The Options Report will be published on the Council’s website here on Friday, 4th October, 2024 and submissions will be invited up to Friday, 1st November, 2024. The Council and Metropolitan Workshop will host a drop in public consultation event to take place on Thursday, 17th October from 1pm-7pm at the Citizen Innovation Lab in UL City Centre Campus, Sarsfield Street, V94 DW21.
Welcoming the publication of the Options Report, Mayor of Limerick John Moran, said:
“Our Waterfront is one of Limerick City’s most important assets and harnessing, protecting and enhancing this natural public amenity is a central element of my Mayoral Programme and its ambition to create a more liveable, prosperous and healthy city. This Option report is a key milestone in the plan-making process and presents very different options for consideration so that we can see all of the choices we face. I know which one I prefer but it is more important to now hear which the other residents of Limerick would like to see. I encourage all of you to take the time to have your say on how this area should be developed in the public interest and for future generations to enjoy.”
Vincent Murray, Director of Planning and Place-Making with Limerick City and County Council said:
“The Council and Metropolitan Workshop have taken a comprehensive evidence based approach in the preparation of this report, following consultation and engagement with the landowners and stakeholders of the city. The Council is seeking to develop a framework that is ambitious and deliverable. We look forward to the input from residents and businesses in the city and beyond over the public consultation period”.
