Draft masterplan for redevelopment of derelict Tipperary site to go on public display next week
The draft masterplan for the 2.7 acres former Goldcrop site in Carrick-on-Suir will go on public display next week
The draft masterplan for redevelopment of the 2.7 acres former Goldcrop site in Carrick-on-Suir will go on public display at Carrick-on-Suir Town Hall for close to two weeks from next Monday, May 25.
Tipperary County Council, in partnership with Reddy Architecture + Urbanism, says it’s continuing the progression of the Feasibility and Concept Design for the redevelopment of the derelict site as part of the Carrick-on-Suir Riverside Regeneration Project. The council is progressing the project in partnership with Reddy Architecture + Urbanism.
The local authority said that following a recent public consultation survey, which attracted over 2,000 responses and demonstrated strong support for the development of this key town centre site, the next stage of the process will see the draft Masterplan placed on public display.
“The Masterplan has been informed by the findings of the consultation, which highlighted employment opportunities, green spaces, accessibility, parking, and sustainability as key priorities for the community.
“Members of the public are invited to view the Masterplan at the Town Hall, Carrick-on-Suir, and also online at https://yoursay.tipperarycoco.ie/ from Monday, May 25 at 9:30am to Friday June 5 at 4:30pm. This will provide an opportunity to review the emerging proposals and provide further feedback.
“An in-person public consultation event will also take place in Ormond Castle on Thursday 28th May from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, where members of the project team will be available to discuss the Masterplan and engage directly with members of the public,” the Council added.
The Goldcrop site is positioned close to Dillon Bridge and is adjacent to North Quay and Castle Lane. It is located between Ormond Castle and Main Street and lies to the rear of key cultural and enterprise assets including Brewery Lane Theatre, Strand Theatre, the Tudor Artisan Hub, and the former An Post building currently being renovated under Phase 3 of the Carrick-on-Suir Regeneration Plan.
Tipperary County Council said this stage of consultation provides a further opportunity for the people of Carrick-on-Suir and the wider area to help shape the future development of this strategically important site. Feedback received during this phase will help inform the finalisation of the Masterplan.
The Carrick-on-Suir Riverside Regeneration Project is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund.
