Waterford City and County Council has approved a €672 million Capital Investment Plan.

Approval was granted at the local authority’s June plenary meeting at City Hall.

Councillors were presented with a Capital Programme totalling €672 million, which sets out a roadmap for development across the city and county over the next four years.

The Draft Programme links long-term strategic projects identified in Council strategies.

Funding Themes

The Council’s approved Capital Programme spans five inter-connected themes:

Strategic Development Projects

Housing Delivery

Infrastructure Upgrades

Climate Action Initiatives

Operational and Corporate Projects 

In welcoming the Capital Programme, the Mayor of Waterford, Cllr Jason Murphy said:

“While we are ambitious to deliver transformational projects over the next four years such as the North Quays and our Housing for All targets to make Waterford an even better place, we also know that quality of life begins at street level. That’s why the Council has ensured that the Capital Programme includes a significant increase in investment in footpath upgrades, road maintenance and taking in charge of estates — essential services that enhance our placemaking credentials and directly impact our citizens every day.”
