Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council wants to hear what the public, business owners and anyone who has an interest in the area want to say about any future developments of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and Dun Laoghaire town.
Dun Laoghaire’s harbour and town have for many years been perceived as two separate entities, the council says.
“Given their close proximity and their value to the county and its citizens, it is important for both that there are stronger connections between them recognising that the economic, social and leisure development of each is vital to the other,” it adds.
Now a number of studies are being undertaken by DLRCoCo in association with KPMG and Indecon, in order to set out a clear and coherent vision for development and strategic planning.
All are invited to complete any or all of the three specific surveys involved in this consultation:
- Business in the area (aimed at business owners generally)
- Town & Harbour development generally (general public)
- Harbour specifically (general public)
“These surveys are a very important part of engaging with people in general, business owners and those who have interests in the area,” An Cathaoirleach Cllr Una Power said at the consultation launch last week.
“I would really encourage everyone to take part. Your ideas and aspirations will help inform how future plan for the area are framed and developed.”
The public consultation on an Economic Plan for Dun Laoghaire Harbour and Spatial & Economic Plan for Dun Laoghaire Town will also involve a number of targeted stakeholder engagement sessions.
DLRCoCo’s Consultation Hub is hosting the online surveys, and the closing date for submissions is Sunday 28 February.
