MOTION NO.3
MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole
That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to provide a detailed update on any current or planned proposals for the development of a new theatre or multi-use cultural facility on the Lucan side of the county. Given the area's continued rapid population growth and the significant community demand for enhanced cultural infrastructure it is imperative that such a facility meets diverse needs. Furthermore this Committee requests that consideration be given to incorporating dedicated space for a crèche, preschool, or childcare services within the design of any future theatre or cultural venue, in recognition of the considerable educational and social benefits that early childhood access to the arts can provide.
REPORT:
The Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme contains provision for the delivery of community and cultural facilities. Clonburris Infrastructure Limited are in the process of progressing the procurement of design teams to design and deliver the community buildings required within the SDZ.
