Dun Laoghaire Harbour Masterplan
Update December 2011.
Dún Laoghaire Harbour is widely recognised as one of the finest man-made harbours in the world and has a significant role to play in the future economic regeneration of the town. The Board of Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company Ltd formally adopted its Masterplan describing its vision for the future of the harbour at its board meeting on Tuesday 4th October 2011. The Masterplan seeks to bring the 200 year progression of the development of the harbour to the next stage, and to realise its potential as a major marine, leisure, cultural and tourism destination, as well as securing the long-term viability of the Harbour.
The Masterplan has been prepared as a non-statutory policy document for Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company Ltd., taking into account SLO13 of the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Development Plan, which promotes the preparation of a masterplan. It is our planning advice that the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Masterplan will not form part of the Development Plan. Ultimately however, this is a question for the planning authority. The day-to-day function (marine and water space management) of running the harbour is not within the remit of the Masterplan.
