QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the consultation to take place on the design of the new community centre for Balgaddy.

REPLY:

A Part 8 Consultation Process was completed for the Balgaddy Social Housing Development which includes provisions for a new Community centre at the start of 2019 and approval was given by South Dublin County Council at the April 2019 Council Meeting.

Construction has commenced on the community centre, with an expected completion of the building scheduled for April 2024.  The local Community Development team will be engaging with local interested parties in the local community to commence discussions and preparations to form a management committee (set up as a company limited by guarantee) who will be tasked with managing the centre for the benefits of the local community under the conditions of a management licence issued by the Council.
