Blue Green Ring Masterplan - Limerick Region

Limerick City and County Council wishes to appoint a suitably qualified Service Provider (consultant led multi-disciplinary design team) with a range of relevant experience to carry out a comprehensive Masterplan, to determine the feasibility of the Blue Green Ring, to formulate, develop and illustrate options for the development and enhancement of Limerick Blue Green Ring as identified in the Limerick City and Environs Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) Strategy. This is an ecologically sensitive corridor encompassing many of Limericks key green and blue assets cross cutting and surrounding the ring. This includes the River Shannon, some of the most important wetlands (such as Bunlicky, Coonagh and Westfields Wetlands) as well as other important habitats for fauna and flora (such as King's Island, Shannon Fields, the Baggot Estate, Ballinacurra Creek and the Groody Valley). The preservation and enhancement of these assets and others will form Irelands first city-scale strategic planning and environmental corridor, establishing the 'Limerick Blue Green Ring'.
