Waterford City Centre Regeneration aterford is the principal and largest urban centre in Irelandʼs south-east and the fifth largest city in the State. Project Ireland 2040 National Planning Framework (NPF) sets out a number of key growth enablers for Waterford City which include the delivery of the North Quays regeneration project, public realm and urban amenity projects, focused on streets and public spaces in the city centre; provision of Citywide public transport and strategic cycleway networks; and the extension of the Waterford greenway to link WIT to the City Centre. When delivered these growth enablers will build on the already considerable work undertaken by the City and County Council in reimagining the city centre.

In May 2020, WCCC collaborated with WIT in proposing a project to the URDF (Urban Regeneration Development Fund) which has now attracted nearly 28M of government funding into the heart of Waterford. Our proposal is focussed on transforming the historic city centre.
