Question Councillor D. Smith:
“To ask the Chief Executive if it is an expectation that the Ward Rivervalley
Masterplan will be on public display in the Summer of 2018?”
Reply:
The acquisition of the remaining Ward River Valley open space lands
between Swords Town Centre and Knocksedan Bridge is nearing
completion. A brief for the procurement of consultants for the
preparation of the Master Plan for the Ward River Valley Regional Park will
issue later this year. The consultants appointed will facilitate public
consultation in relation to the plan and the results of this process will
form the basis of a formal planning process. It is reasonable to expect
that the procurement, initial public consultation and Master Plan Design
process will take several months to complete.
