Further to the appointment of a multi-disciplinary architectural led design team to prepare development proposals for a new Regional Sports Complex for Mullingar, Westmeath County is commencing a Sports Needs Assessment to capture the sporting needs of Mullingar and the wider region to inform the design proposals.
As part of the #HAVEYOURSAY process, the Council is hosting 2 public events where you, the public, will have an opportunity to meet members of the Design Team and Westmeath Co Council’s Regeneration Project Team to discuss the proposed project. This in-person consultation event is being held on Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st February 2024 from 3pm to 8pm in the atrium of Council Offices, Áras An Chontae, Mount Street, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath.
In tandem with the public event, a Sport Needs Assessment Survey is currently live on the Westmeath County Council Consultation portal to capture the sporting needs of clubs, schools, communities, and individuals in to inform the final design.
The Cathaoirleach of Westmeath County Council, Councillor Liam McDaniel, welcomed the commencement of the public consultation event and highlighted the importance of participation of stakeholders including sporting clubs, schools and the wider community;
‘Participation is key in having the sporting needs of the region met at this early stage to inform the design process from the outset’ adding ‘I urge everyone to voice their opinion through the consultation process and help shape the future of sporting infrastructure to serve the people of Mullingar and Westmeath.’
You’ll find the survey, which will take around 5 minutes to complete here: https://consult.westmeathcoco.ie/en/content/mullingar-regional-sports-complex-sport-needs-assessment
