Comeragh Mountains Outdoor Recreation Strategy : Public Consultation
Waterford City and County Council is in the process of developing the Comeragh Mountains Outdoor Recreation Strategy and Action Plan and has appointed Outscape to assist in the preparation of the plan. This project is being funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD) under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) 2023 – Project Development Measure.
The purpose of the Strategy is to provide a vision for the development of quality, well-planned and sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities in the Comeragh Mountains, which will not only benefit local communities and economy, but also ensure the protection and conservation of this wonderful upland area. The project output will consist of a 10-year vision and roadmap, including a high-level action plan with more detailed actions for Years One to Three.
Waterford City and County Council is inviting the views of local communities and general public on how recreation could be managed in the Comeraghs to allow us all to connect and engage with outdoor recreation in this region of natural beauty.
A public consultation event will be held in The Park Hotel, Shandon Rd., Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, X35 CC97 at 7p.m. on Wednesday September 11th.
