Community Planning

Welcome to Community Planning in Fermanagh and Omagh.  Below, you will find lots of information about Community Planning and our progress since its introduction in 2015.  In 2020, we reviewed the Community Plan, taking into account a number of major changes in our district.  Recognising the need to continue building on this foundation, it was agreed in September 2023 to develop a new Action Plan for the period 2024–2028. This new Action Plan was successfully completed in February 2024 and sets out clear priorities and actions to further enhance our District.

Community Plan Review document is available to view, as well as the quick-reference guide and the Population Indicators.

What is Community Planning?

The purpose of Community planning is to develop a long term vision and plan to improve quality of life in the Fermanagh and Omagh district based on a thorough analysis of needs and priorities. Community planning brings together partner organisations from the public, private and community/voluntary sectors working with local communities to deliver better public services.  A quick guide on Community Planning can be accessed here.

As the lead partner, the Council is responsible for making arrangements for community planning in its area. You can find out more about the statutory duty here.
