MOTION NO.17

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive considers incorporating a multi-use public space suitable for theatre and other performances into the design of Adamstown Library as part of any public consultation; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

The Adamstown Planning Scheme (as amended) requires a library with a minimum floor area of 1,000sqm. A location for the library has been identified next to the newly completed Adamstown Plaza. A successful Preliminary Business Case has ensured support funding from the Urban Regeneration Development Fund (URDF). It is envisaged that a design team will be appointed this year and consultation with the Economic Enterprise and Tourism Department and SDCC libraries will be undertaken as part of the design process, in addition to the statutory consultation processes required as part of the planning process. The aim of the project will be to deliver a modern building use for current and future residents of Adamstown.
