Harcourt Developments announced as North Quays SDZ Developer

  • €100.6m in Urban Regeneration and Development Fund investment and €70m in National Transport Authority funding to open up access to Strategic Development Zone
  • Harcourt Developments announced as North Quays SDZ Developer 

The Government has today given approval for €170.6m of investment in the Waterford North Quays Infrastructure Project.

Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. John O’Leary said, “This investment represents another significant step in bringing the development of the North Quays to reality and delivering a strategic economic and social catalyst for Waterford and the region.

“The North Quays will not only be a game changer for Waterford’s future economic development, but the benefits will also permeate the region’s environmental, tourism and cultural sectors.”

This transformative project will create a sustainable modern mixed-use development that will harness and extend Waterford’s city centre, whilst reinstating the primacy of the river by creating a compact and vibrant core centred on the River Suir.

The funding announced will deliver the public infrastructure that will serve both the SDZ site and the public, including enhanced multi-modal access routes, an integrated transport hub and the sustainable transport bridge. The award of a contract for the construction of this public infrastructure project is imminent and works will be complete in 2025.

Waterford’s new state of the art Transport Hub will be unique in Ireland and will put Waterford at the forefront of integrated city centre transport infrastructure, with train, bus, taxi, cycling and car parking all in one location.  The North Quays will be connected to the heart of the city centre by a new sustainable transport bridge for pedestrians, bicycles, and a courtesy bus service.

The infrastructure will enable the commercial development on the SDZ Site, which will include offices, residential, retail, accommodation, and tourism investment in conference/exhibition facilities, as well as a 4-star hotel and visitor’s centre.

The proposed development also places a significant emphasis on improving the public realm through investment in new civic spaces, pedestrian facilities, and high-quality transport infrastructure which will connect Waterford and the South-East Greenways.

While elements of the project will have important transport and socio-economic benefits, the main objective is to leverage further investment in Waterford City and the region, by attracting indigenous and multinational companies and expanding the retail and tourism sectors.

The development of the North Quays as a modern multi-purpose development on the North site of the city will increase employment, provide much needed high quality residential units, enhance the retail offer and build on Waterford’s reputation as the Best Place to Live in Ireland.

Michael Walsh, Chief Executive, Waterford City and County Council also welcomed the announcement, “Today’s announcement is very much welcomed by Waterford City and County Council.  It underpins the Government’s commitment to one of the biggest investments ever in the southeast.

“The transformative effects of this investment are guaranteed to bring significant benefits to the region and help make Waterford a better place to live, work and invest in.”

A revised vision for the North Quays has been created by the newly appointed SDZ developer, Harcourt Developments.

Harcourt Developments is a Dublin-based property development and management company with a broad portfolio of award-winning projects.  The company develops residential and commercial projects and has developed and operated and tourism & leisure projects. It has had real estate interests in thirteen different countries.

An important part of Harcourt’s philosophy is to integrate cultural and artistic elements into their projects, and they take pride in creating beautiful buildings and attractive amenities. 

Their portfolio boasts Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, Northern Ireland’s most important regeneration project.  Located in the world-famous birthplace of Titanic and home to the Game of Thrones television production, Titanic Quarter is a vibrant, mixed-use scheme with over 1.8 million sq.ft. (140,000 sqm.) of commercial space, plus residential, retail, and hospitality and tourism spaces. Titanic Belfast is one of Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions.

Park West Plaza in Dublin is Ireland’s largest business and technology campus.  The Park extends to 230 acres accommodating a mix of office (103,000sqm.), industrial (205,000sqm.), retail (6,000 sqm.) leisure and residential accommodation.

Harcourt Developments Shopping Centres include Galway Shopping Centre, Donaghmede Shopping Centre in Dublin, Letterkenny Shopping Centre, Laois Shopping Centre, Limerick’s Parkway Shopping Centre and the Longwalk Shopping Centre in Dundalk.

Harcourt Developments currently have over 4,000 residential units at various stages in the planning and in development including Park West & Parklands at Citywest, Dublin and Bellingham Waterfront in Washington State.

Harcourt Developments is engaging with the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) on structuring an investment proposal for developing the site that would be capable, subject to due diligence and the necessary approvals, of attracting capital on a commercial basis. The Land Development Agency is engaged in respect of the residential element.  These investments are integral in achieving the objectives set out on the National Planning Framework, which calls for the rapid expansion of Waterford city to over 85,000 people.

The direct benefit to Waterford of the investment in the SDZ Site is anticipated to be in excess of €350m over the next six years, with 200 people employed during construction and between 1,200 and 1,500 people employed in phase one of the development from 2025.

The regeneration of the North Quays will also have a positive sustainable and environmental impact as it will enable development of a concentric city and allow access to zoned residential land closer to the city centre, reduce dependency on travel by private car and increase the modal shift of journeys in Waterford city towards walking and cycling, and optimise social cohesion with the creation of public realm corridors.

Following today’s funding announcement Waterford City and County Council’s elected members will convene to vote on the disposal of lands to Harcourt Developments to facilitate the development of the SDZ site and to CIE (Irish Rail) to enable the development of the access infrastructure pursuant to Section 183 of the Local Government Act, 2001 and Section 211 of the Planning & Development Act, 2000.

Waterford City and County Council will also conclude a contract with the successful tenderer for the construction of the Access Infrastructure.

Waterford and Tipperary Council’s Launch Public Consultation Phase to Examine Feasibility of Waterford Greenway – Suir Blueway Connection

 

Waterford City & County Council and Tipperary County Council have launched the first public consultation phase for the Waterford Greenway – Suir Blueway connection, potentially linking Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary to Kilmeadan, Co. Waterford.

Both councils are jointly seeking the views of the public in this regard as part of this initial, non-statutory public consultation process. The project’s web portal will open with detail on the project study area and how to make observations or submissions from Wednesday 31st August to Friday 7th October 2022. The current feasibility study is being funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland as part of its annual support to Greenway projects nationally.

Providing a recreational trail to connect The Suir Blueway and Waterford Greenway has the potential to build on the investment in both amenities, substantially enhance the overall visitor experience, and extend dwell time in the area.

This proposed connection has the potential to deliver a differentiated, attractive, and authentic visitor experience through a varied landscape connecting to and supporting the economic development of the urban centre of Carrick-on-Suir and the rural villages of Portlaw and Kilmeadan.

Supporting the development of the rural tourism economy, this connection would leverage innovation, creativity and linkages enticing visitor flow between tourist attractions including Ormond Castle, Curraghmore House and Waterford Suir Valley Railway as well as the substantive Greenway and Blueway experiences.

Launching this initial public consultation phase Mayor of Waterford City & County, Cllr. John O’Leary said, “I am looking forward to members of the public getting the opportunity to find out more information and to comment on what has the potential to be an extremely important and beneficial recreational project for the people of Waterford and our near neighbours in Tipperary. We have seen at first hand the transformative affect that amenities such as the Waterford Greenway can have. I am confident that this current proposed project has significant potential to add to the existing Greenway experience and to benefit the communities of Kilmeadan, Portlaw and Carrick-on-Suir, in particular.”

Also attending the launch of the public consultation phase was Cllr. David Dunne, Cathaoirleach of Carrick-on-Suir Municipal District who said that, “This is an enormous opportunity to build on the wonderful amenities provided to our citizens. It will have a major impact on the health and wellbeing of generations to come and will place Carrick-on-Suir in an enviable position at the heart of two incredible recreational and tourism offerings. We will the welcome the economic spin-off that will undoubtedly follow and we look forward to further fostering links with our neighbouring communities in County Waterford  embarking on this exciting joint venture.

Waterford City & County Council and Tipperary County Council have engaged a multi-disciplinary team led by Tobin Consulting Engineers to carry out the study on behalf of both local authorities.

View the study area and have your say on this exciting project by logging onto https://consultations.tipperarycoco.ie or https://www.waterfordcouncil.ie/projects/public-consultations/index.htm.

Minister Humphreys announces the 26 towns to benefit from €2.6 million fund to enhance streetscapes and shopfronts

Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, has today announced the 26 towns and villages that will benefit from a €2.6 million fund to support the enhancement of streetscapes and shopfronts, with Tallow, Co. Waterford set to receive €100,000.

Under the Streetscape Enhancement Initiative, retailers and property owners will be provided with grants

that they can use to improve the facades of their buildings, carry out artwork or install features such as street furniture or canopies.  The overall purpose of the Scheme is to give our towns and villages a facelift and make them more attractive places to live, work or visit.

Minister Humphreys today announced the 26 towns that have been selected for funding with each local authority to receive €100,000 as part of the Initiative. The Minister today urged businesses, property owners and retailers in the 26 towns to apply to their local authority to avail of funding.

Making the announcement today, Minister Humphreys said, “When I announced this initiative last year, there was a hugely positive reaction from businesses and retailers. I’m therefore delighted to announce 26 additional towns that will benefit from €2.6 million in funding from my Department. We all take pride in our rural towns and villages and want them to be as attractive and welcoming as possible. That’s exactly what Streetscapes is all about. I want as many businesses and property owners to get involved over the next few weeks and to avail of this funding. You may wish to give the front of your shop a new lease of life and repaint it in bright, vibrant colours. Perhaps you want to cover your windowsills with flowers and plants or purchase street furniture, canopies for your customers to enjoy. Or maybe you have an even bolder idea. This time round, I’m encouraging neighbouring businesses to submit a joint application to their local authority if they have a more ambitious proposal. For example, under the first tranche of funding, some businesses transformed their facades with attractive murals – that’s one way to make your town stand out.”

Richie Walsh, Senior Rural Development Officer, Waterford City and County Council said, “Waterford City and County Council’s Rural Development team is delighted with the announcement of €100,000 for Tallow under the Street Enhancement Scheme. While the specifics of the scheme are not yet finalised, the team will be shortly engaging with property owners and with local community organisations in Tallow to ensure that the maximum impact can be achieved for the community.”

The 26 towns due to receive the funding were selected by each local authority in consultation with local businesses and community groups. Local authorities will manage the initiative locally and will be advertising for applications in the coming weeks. The initiative is a key part of Our Rural Future and will make our rural towns and villages more vibrant and attractive places to live, work and visit.

The types of projects that could be supported include – strategic collaboration between property owners to paint buildings and/or shopfronts in vibrant colours, upgrade or restoration of historic / traditional shopfronts, provision of street planting, shrubbery, trees and flowers boxes, installation of canopies and murals/public artwork.

Waterford householders urged to avail of free eWaste recycling event

Waterford householders are being urged to bring their electrical and electronic waste to a free collection day to help the county meet recycling targets which have increased since the first lockdown in 2020.  The event, hosted by WEEE Ireland with support from Waterford City and County Council, takes place on Saturday September 17th from 10am to 4pm at the Tesco Car Park, Tramore.

All household items with a plug or a battery will be accepted free of charge, including old washing machines, TVs, toasters and kettles, electronic tools and toys, cables, IT equipment, mobile phones, remote controls, and even watches.

“In Waterford, and across Ireland, we are buying more electrical goods than ever – with the annual tonnage on the market rising from 15kg a head in 2016 to 22kg a head last year,” said WEEE Ireland CEO Leo Donovan.

“Shopping stats during the pandemic showed a surge in spend on new electrical devices like mobile phones, computers, small kitchen appliances and white goods. With old items still lying around many households we want to offer the opportunity to recycle these for free.  People in Waterford have contributed greatly to e-waste recycling every year, and we want to encourage that trend.”

A surge in lockdown spring cleaning saw 1145 tonnes of electrical waste collected in Waterford by the country’s largest recycling scheme in 2021, despite Covid-19 and travel restrictions still in place for much of the year.

9.86kg of e-waste was recycled per person in Waterford last year – falling short of the 2020 collection rate of 10.45kg and the national average of 10.86kg per person.  However, the county’s e-waste target for 2022 has increased to 13kg per person, to reflect yearly increases in electrical goods consumption, accelerated by Covid-19.

“82% of all material that we collect is recovered for use again in manufacturing through both indigenous operators and specialist processors in Europe,” said Mr. Donovan.

“Most end-of-life products contain metals and minerals in higher concentrations than primary resources. These stocks of resources are the urban mines of the future, so our recycling efforts can have a significant impact on the environment.”

In 2021, the equivalent of 231,179 tonnes of CO2 emissions were avoided by recycling e-waste through the WEEE Ireland Scheme as opposed to landfilling. That is the equivalent of the annual carbon consumption of 4,624 hectares of trees.

WEEE Ireland accounts for over two thirds of all national waste electrical and electronics collection activity on behalf of 1,296 producer members.

These free events are proudly supported by Waterford City and County Council.

Ella Ryan, Environmental Awareness Officer, Waterford City and County Council added, “Recycling e-Waste is incredibly beneficial for both the environment and the economy. Together, we are diverting waste from landfill, recovering raw materials for reuse and ensuring hazardous materials are safely and responsibly disposed of.

“We look forward to working with WEEE Ireland and Waterford householders to hopefully recycle a record-breaking amount of electronic waste in 2022.”

Waterford City and County Development Plan commended by Office of the Planning Regulator

Following the adoption of the Waterford City and County Development Plan 2022-2028 by elected members of Waterford City and County Council, the Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) has commended the local authority on ‘a coherent and appropriate strategy for the delivery of key national planning objectives including the promotion of compact growth and town and village centre regeneration.’

The Plan, prepared by WCCC Planning Authority, is a statutory planning document, made in accordance with Section 9(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), and covers the six-year period from 2022 – 2028.

waterford_development_plan _2022-28

Michael Walsh, Chief Executive, Waterford City and County Council said, “With our ultimate aims of enhancing growth of the wider city region and driving regional prosperity to make Waterford the best place to live, work and invest, this Development Plan provides us with a clear roadmap to enable us to attain those objectives.”

“Throughout the process there was extensive public consultation and collaboration.  In fact, with a total of 1,155 written submissions, it was the highest level of engagement received for any draft development plan.  It is evident that the people of Waterford care deeply about how our city and county develop, and Waterford City and County Council is committed to a proactive and dynamic approach towards sustainable social, environmental and economic development of the region.”

Correspondence from the OPR stated, “The preparation of the City Neighbourhood Strategy, Appendix 21 ‘Waterford City and County Regeneration and Opportunity Sites’, and inclusion of brownfield targets for the county’s settlements within the core strategy table are all welcomed and demonstrates the planning authority’s objective to support compact growth and the provisions of NSO 1 of the National Planning Framework.”

It added, “Furthermore the delivery of a robust renewable energy strategy, which provides for measurable renewable energy targets, demonstrates the planning authority’s clear commitment to supporting national renewable energy targets under the Climate Action Plan 2021.”

Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. John O’Leary said the OPR correspondence was a great endorsement of the Development Plan. “Overall, it was very positively received.   It’s testament to the huge amount of planning, research, and public input over the last two years.  This has resulted in a solid policy and spatial framework that will shape Waterford city and county, for the better, for the future.”

There are some elements of the Development Plan that will be redressed.  The OPR cited reservations about the further development of the Duckspool area of Dungarvan, however, fully supports the plan to ‘prioritise regeneration on sites that are amenable to walking and cycling to the town centre, such as Shandon and Kilrush, and whereby the most central development sites in the town are prioritised for new development first.’

The Development Plan will come into effect on July 19th  2022, six weeks after the date on which it was adopted, this period facilitating the final preparation and assembly of Development Plan documents for general use in the day-to-day operation of the Planning Authority and broader strategic investment decision making.  The Development Plan also provides the basis on which Local Area Plans will be prepared for parts of Waterford City, the Key Town of Dungarvan, Tramore and other urban towns across the county over the lifetime of the Plan.

An interim version of the Development Plan including Volume 1: Written Statement, Volume 2: Development Management Standards and associated land use zoning and specific development objective mapping is available on the council website www.waterfordcouncil.ie until July 19th, after which the complete suite of Development Plan documents including all environmental reports and appendices will be is available for inspection at the following locations:

  • Online at www.waterfordcouncil.ie
  • Customer Care Desk, Waterford City & County Council, Baileys New Street
  • Customer Care Desk, Waterford City & County Council, Civic Offices, Dungarvan

Copies of volume 1 and 2 along with a book of land use zoning maps will be available for purchase from Planning@waterfordcouncil.ie and the Customer Care desks in Waterford City and Dungarvan following the coming into effect of the Development Plan.

Given the large quantity of spatial data which informs the Development Plan, it is not possible to make this fully available in printed format and as such it is recommended that this is accessed via the Development Plan Story Maps that will be available on the council website.
