A New Heritage Plan for Waterford - Have your say

Waterford Heritage Plan Public Consultation 2016

The Waterford City and County Heritage Forum facilitated by the Heritage Officer is preparing a new Heritage Plan and is looking for your views.

Waterford City and County Council would like to know what you think should be included in the new Heritage Plan which will review and consolidate the existing:
Waterford County Heritage Plan 2006-2010, Waterford City Heritage Plan 2009-2013, Waterford County Biodiversity Plan 2008-2013 and Waterford City Biodiversity Plan 2010-2014.

Copies of these plans may be downloaded at www.waterfordcouncil.ie

You are invited to make a pre-draft written submission with reference to the following questions:

1. What do you think are the main heritage issues for Waterford City and County currently and arising by 2021?
2. Are there gaps in our awareness, promotion and management of Waterford's heritage - in heritage data, in survey, in heritage education, in heritage training, in heritage policy and heritage conservation?
3. What is our vision for Waterford's Archaeology, Built, Cultural and Natural Heritage over the next five years?
4. What actions should we include in our new Heritage Plan to address the above?

Heritage is taken to include: Archaeological Objects, Monuments, Heritage Objects, Landscapes, Heritage Parks and Gardens, Seascapes, Inland Waterways, Architectural Heritage, Flora, Fauna, Wrecks, Wildlife Habitats and Geology. 

Post or email it by Thursday, March 31, 2016 to:

Bernadette Guest, Heritage Officer, Waterford City and County Council, Civic Offices, Dungarvan.
