Cork County Council launch 2024-2029 Corporate Plan
The Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Joe Carroll has launched a new five-year plan that sets out Cork County Council’s vision, strategic goals and the steps it will take to achieve them.
The Corporate Plan 2025 – 2029 was recently passed by Council and aims to provide sustainable opportunities for everyone through vibrant and inclusive communities inspired by a progressive economic environment. There is a strong focus on community development, housing, sustainable economic growth and climate action.
The plan has been developed following a series of stakeholder and public consultations, surveys, and submission invitations. More than 20 workshops were also held throughout the county in 2024. The feedback, together with the wider policy context in which Cork County Council operates, has resulted in the creation of seven strategic pillars that will underpin the organisation’s strategy for the next five years.
Mayor Carroll said,
Mayor
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this ambitious plan. There are huge opportunities over the next five year for us to deliver for the people of County Cork which will be achieved by everyone working together. I particularly welcome the emphasis in this plan upon supporting both younger and older members of our communities.
