What is being bought

Published requirement description

The aim of place shaping within Community Planning is;

  • To improve the economic,

social and environmental well-being of the selected 'place', through harnessing place

shaping powers and functions within Council and from partners.

  • To ensure that the

aspirations of the community plan are realised at a local level and bring other borough

wide plans to life locally to include spatial elements and following key messages from the

Council's preferred options paper.

  • To build plans for a place in which local communities

are integral to its development and delivery. To date the Armagh Banbridge and

Craigavon Community Planning Partnership (with council acting as lead partner) has

developed and launched the Armagh Place Plan (May 2022), Banbridge Place Plan (Mar

2024) and the Dromore Place Plan (May 2025). The Community Planning Department,

Council as lead partner for the ABC Community Planning Partnership, is seeking to appoint a consultant team to develop and produce place plans for the three centres of

Craigavon, Lurgan and Portadown within the Craigavon Urban Area.
