Nenagh Town Centre First Plan
In 2024 the team will work with the Town Regeneration Officer and the District Administrator in Nenagh to formulate a plan that will guide the regeneration of the town, build on the positive initiatives taking place, set a new vision for the town and identify projects and a set of actions for the team.

National Town Centre First Policy
Our Rural Future, the Government’s Rural Development Policy outlines a vision to support the regeneration and development of rural towns and villages to contribute to local and national economic recovery, and to enable people to live and work in a vibrant environment. The Town Centre First policy launched in February 2022 is central to this vision.
Town Centre First represents a new approach to the development of our towns where local communities and local businesses can be central to reimagining their own towns and planning their own futures. Every town is different. Each town is unique and requires unique solutions to the challenges and opportunities they face.
For more information on Town Centre First Plan and the delivery of the policy in County Tipperary, please contact the Council’s Town Regeneration Officer by email tcf@tipperarycoco.ie
