Proposed Renewal of Sandyford Business Improvement District (B.I.D) Scheme

Overview

A proposal to renew the Business Improvement District (B.I.D.) Scheme has been received from Sandyford BID CLG trading as Sandyford Business District in respect of the Sandyford Business District Area.  The current B.I.D. scheme will expire on 31^st December, 2026.

The purpose of establishing a Business Improvement District is to enable ratepayers within the boundaries of the proposed B.I.D. to draw up a scheme of projects, services and works which are additional to those provided by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and will be carried out for the benefit of the Sandyford Business District B.I.D. area.

If the Local Authority approves the proposal to renew the scheme, having first conducted a plebiscite of local ratepayers, the B.I.D. scheme will continue for a further five years, commencing on 1^st January, 2027. The scheme will be financed by an annual B.I.D. contribution levy imposed on and collected from ratepayers of rateable property within the proposed Business Improvement District.

The key objective of the B.I.D. renewal scheme is to continue to develop and implement a series of new and additional initiatives that are designed to promote and improve the business environment within the B.I.D. boundary in which the ratepayers operate their businesses.

The vision of Sandyford BID CLG trading as Sandyford Business District is to continue to develop the area as:

• a world class destination in which to work, reside and visit;

• a vibrant community of businesses and residents which has a unique identity;

• a place where living, working, visiting and spending leisure time is a positive experience.

The following roads and business parks are included in the Sandyford B.I.D. renewal proposal:
