About the Central Riverfront Project
The Central Riverfront Project is a partnership between the Department for Infrastructure and Derry City and Strabane District Council and will be designed by their consultants Tetra Tech. It will be funded through the Derry~Londonderry and Strabane Region City Deal.
The £45 million scheme comprises roads realignment, streetscape enhancement and creation of an active travel corridor along Strand Road and Queens Quay as well as the creation of new civic spaces.
This hugely ambitious project seeks to:
• Provide high quality, safe, welcoming and attractive public spaces
• Increase opportunities for active travel (walking, wheeling, and cycling)
• Prioritise public transport
• Promote economic vitality and sustainability
Purpose of this Public Information Gathering Event
The Purpose of the event is to gather information from local communities and businesses to help inform the design for the Central Riverside Project.
This event offers an opportunity to engage directly with representatives of the project design team.
What happens next?
Based on the information gathered at this stage we will consider your views on the Central Riverfront Project. We will then organise consultation events in Summer 2026 and Spring 2027 to present the emerging proposals.
The Derry & Strabane City Region City Deal, led by Derry City and Strabane District Council, will be bolstered by further investment through the Inclusive Future Fund. The Inclusive Future Fund (IFF) is aimed at bringing greater prosperity and social benefits to our communities.
