MEETING OF SDZ, LAPS AND PLANNING PROJECTS

MOTION NO. 164

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

Section 2.7.3 be amended to include provision for an Intreo office

REPORT:

The location and provision of an Intreo office is the function of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection and outside the remit of the Planning Scheme.

It is noted that M163- Item 56519 relates to the provision of social welfare and community employment supports. The Chief Executive recommends the following amendment under that motion:

 Replace 1st Key Principle in 2.7 Community Facilities on page 49 with: 

‘To facilitate and promote the provision of high quality clusters of community facilities and public services to meet the needs of the community. These facilities and services should include community centres, health and primary care services, childcare, schools, sports and leisure facilities, community policing, social welfare and community employment supports and open spaces to create multi-purpose community hubs’ 

It is considered that the amendment above captures the intention of the subject motion and should be replicated for this motion.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the motion be adopted with an amendment: 

Replace 1st Key Principle in 2.7 Community Facilities on page 49 with: 

To facilitate and promote the provision of high quality clusters of community facilities and public services to meet the needs of the community. These facilities and services should include community centres, health and primary care services, childcare, schools, sports and leisure facilities, community policing, social welfare and community employment supports and open spaces to create multi-purpose community hubs’
