Belfast Waterfront Promenade Framework
Consultation has concluded
We want to hear your views on the future vision and key recommendations for Belfast's Waterfront Promenade.
The Waterfront Task Group (external link) was established to scope how the waterfront can fully realise its potential as a connected, vibrant corridor linking to and with key destinations, neighbourhood communities and the city centre. During the past year, the task group has been working with Schulze + Grassov, Hatch and Civic Engineers to undertake a detailed study of the area and develop a Waterfront Promenade Framework.
Stretching from Sailortown to the Ormeau Park, Belfast has around 10,000m of waterfront. The Schulze + Grassov framework, ‘Embracing the Belfast waterfront,’ looks at how we can reshape our relationship with the waterfront and maximise the area’s potential to provide economic and social benefits for everyone.
Belfast Waterfront is a critical component of the city’s social and inclusive economic growth ambitions, and the promenade project will bring these to life. Fill in our short survey to tell us your views on shaping a world-class waterfront for Belfast.
The survey closes on 31 January 2024.

One of Belfast’s key strengths is that it is a waterfront city. The expanding waterfront area and it’s commercial, residential, tourism and leisure developments will play a key role in fulfilling the city’s aspirations for economic growth, quality city living experiences, sustainable transport, connectivity, and wellbeing. This has been recognised in Belfast’s Bolder Vision document, which highlights ‘Embracing the River Lagan and Waterfront’ as one of four key moves.
In response to Belfast’s Bolder Vision document, a Belfast Waterfront Task Group has been established to scope how the waterfront can fully realise its potential as a connected, vibrant corridor linking to and with key destinations, neighbourhood communities and city centre. A key requirement is an agreed place-making Framework for the city’s waterfront promenade. Currently the area falls under the responsibility of several landowners and developers, including Belfast Harbour, Titanic Quarter and Department for Communities, working to different masterplans and timescales.
