Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is seeking tenders for “architect-led, multi-disciplinary consultancy services” to design its planned National Watersports Campus in Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
The appointed consultants will be responsible for the design of various elements and to securing planning and Maritime Area Consent (MAC) for the campus, as well as to bring the project to the contractor tender stage.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, Carlisle Pier has been proposed as a location for the project that would involve a high-performance watersports coaching centre and a venue for national and international events.
But the campus is envisaged to encompass the whole harbour area from Seapoint to Sandycove, as a hub of activity for the entire community, including key Coal Harbour upgrades.
It would also involve an education centre for schools, community groups and clubs, and a public slipway for recreational craft users who are not members of the harbour sailing clubs.
Full details can be found on the eTenders website. The closing date for receipt of tenders is 5pm on Friday 23 August.
