UPDATE: Major changes to the Galway County Development Plan have just been announced and are now available for public viewing. These modifications aim to reshape sustainable development across Galway from 2022 to 2028 and are driven by updated national housing policies and a renewed focus on Residential Phase 2 lands.

Residents can view the proposed changes at County Hall, various County Council Area Offices, or local libraries until December 23, 2023. This is a critical opportunity for community members to engage with the planning process and voice their opinions on developments that will impact their neighborhoods.

Key changes include significant alterations to the land zoning map for Oranmore, reflecting the council’s commitment to efficient land use and housing availability. These adjustments follow a clear directive from national authorities to enhance housing strategies, making it imperative for residents to stay informed and involved.

Officials emphasize the importance of public participation in this process, urging citizens to review the changes and provide feedback. The Galway County Council is dedicated to ensuring that the development plan aligns with community needs and sustainable growth. This public display is a pivotal step in fostering transparency and collaboration between the council and the community.

Residents are encouraged to visit the designated locations to access detailed information about the changes. Engaging with this plan could influence the future of housing and infrastructure in Galway, making it crucial for stakeholders to act quickly.

Next Steps: Following the public display period, the council will review all feedback before finalizing the development plan. This is an essential moment for the Galway community to make their voices heard on the direction of local development.
