Sports campus planned for Derry
A new sports centre is being planned for Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
The plans for the North West Regional Sports Campus (NWRSC) include a performance development centre, a multi-use sports hall, a fitness suite, a 3rd generation floodlit football pitch and offices for Sport Northern Ireland (NI) and Coaching Ireland.
The scheme is estimated to cost £759,815, with the majority to be funded by the International Fund for Ireland (£650,000) and the remainder from the Department of Social Development (£109,815).
However, councillors at Derry City Council were told that the NWRSC would cost them around £6.6m over 25 years.
A report to the committee said: “The preferred option has an estimated capital outlay of £6.57m. Sport NI has issued an indicative letter of offer for £1.7m and council approval has been obtained to contribute £1m from the capital fund.
“This leaves a shortfall of £3.87m that must be addressed in order to proceed to the full business case.”
