Galway City Local Economic & Community Plan 2023-2029

We welcome your submissions

Galway City Council is preparing a new Local Economic & Community Plan for the period 2023-2029.   We invite you to have your say on the future economic, social and community development of Galway city.

The Pre-Draft Plan consultation phase has commenced and will run for a 10-week period from Monday 20th June 2022 to Friday 26th August 2022.

The public and stakeholders are invited to engage in the process to identify the programs that will see our city develop and grow. 

What is a Local Economic & Community Plan?

The Local Economic & Community Plan sets out objectives and actions needed to promote and support economic and community development in Galway City over the next six years.

As part of the LECP preparation process, a Draft Issues paper for Galway City has been developed.  The Draft Issues paper summaries the key opportunities for Galway City and identifies a number of high level goals.

How will my ideas and views inform the Plan?

Your views will help to shape the direction the next Local Economic & Community Plan will take.  Your submissions will be reviewed and summarised, and recommendations will be made in response to them.  Your views will be published here on our portal.
