The Office of Public Works has identified a suitable site in Waterford City for the Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local Government and purchase terms have been agreed with Waterford City Council, subject to the approval of the elected Council.
In addition to offices for the 225 staff decentralising from the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government, the Commissioners are planning to extend the Court House, provide new offices for Probation and Welfare and a multi-storey carpark (with public access) as part of a quality integrated development of the 3 acre site.
