Murrough Coastal Suburb Approved
Description
Galway City Council has approved a major new coastal suburb at Murrough, paving the way for up to 2,500 homes and a key part of the city’s housing strategy. Learning from delays at Ardaun, officials are prioritizing infrastructure and waterway planning, while pushing for sustainable transport — including a commuter rail link and overbridge — to support the Western Rail Corridor. Coastal defenses and biodiversity protection are central to the 34-hectare site, which lies between Doughiska and Oranmore, and excludes large playing pitches. Public consultation and stakeholder engagement will guide future design, ensuring the development respects local character before any construction begins.
