Progress to date
The Coleraine Future Town Fund Board has now completed the initial phase of community engagement, gathering insight from residents, businesses, community groups and local stakeholders to shape the town’s long‑term direction.
Following this work, the CFTF Board successfully submitted the 10‑year Vision and Regeneration Plan to Government before Christmas 2025, setting out a shared framework for the future of Coleraine. The programme has now moved into its next phase, where the Board is working collaboratively with partners and the community to co‑design a series of strategic projects and programmes.
To achieve this the Board is now progressing work across regeneration, community development, business growth and tourism, ensuring that emerging projects reflect a balanced and ambitious programme for Coleraine’s future
Next Steps
- CFTF Board to develop out line ‘Plan on a Page’ for every emerging Project and Programme, this requires some of the enabling work to be commissioned to inform the detail required to sift and score, as well as input from Project finalisation working groups (sub groups) and a series of further co-design workshops with local community representatives, businesses, sports organisations, and the arts, heritage and culture sectors.
- April/May - Sift and Score Assessment Panels to take place with the CFTF Board.
- May - Workshop with CFTF Board to approve prioritisation and ranking of projects.
- June/July – Finalise 4 Year CFTF Investment Plan with agreed prioritised Projects/Programmes
