5. IMPLEMENTATION AND PHASING PLAN
5.1 Strategy Delivery Summary Successful delivery of the Strategy requires a flexible, collaborative, and committed approach from public and private stakeholders. Early resource gathering is crucial to identify and enable the delivery of “Quick Wins”, which can demonstrate the benefits of the strategy and building community confidence. For example, visible improvements along Shandon Street and key routes, including a new piece of public art, can generate local and wider interest/participation. While prestigious and aspirational medium to long-term projects will further encourage investment. Essential mechanisms like funding, responsibilities, coordination, and cooperation must be in place for effective delivery. The local community and businesses, in collaboration with the Local Authority, are central to implementing the Integrated Urban Strategy for Shandon. A multi- layered governance structure, with active involvement from the Neighbourhood Team, will support the Strategy’s execution, engaging key stakeholders over time. Public sector leadership, particularly from Cork City Council, is vital. The following implementation and phasing plan sets out a selection of key projects that can provide an immediate impact as well as establish an exciting long term vision for the area. Both helping to address Shandon’s economic, social, and environmental challenges, while driving positive change by leveraging its historical assets, attractive location, and strong community.
5.2 Potential Phased Projects The Implementation and Phasing plan outlines how the identified ‘key projects’ could be implemented and delivered through the RIBA/RIAI Stages over the short, medium, and long term, also highlighting any “Quick Wins” (6-12 month delivery). The list below includes the site and non-site specific projects outlined in section 4 setting them out in order of priority, a priority driven by deliverability and the need to create a framework for positive continual change. They have also been influenced by the feedback from an exhibition held in October 2024 where attendees were asked which projects should be of top, high and medium priority. Projects in order of priority are listed below: 1. xxx
