CSR is proud to have provided planning consultancy services for Zipit Donadea at Coillte's Donadea Forest Park, Co. Kildare. Officially opened recently by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon TD, the new forest adventure park is set to become a major outdoor recreation and tourism attraction for the region.

CSR provided planning consultancy services for the project, successfully securing planning permission and guiding the development through the planning and compliance process.

Commenting on CSR's involvement, Zipit Forest Adventures said:

"CSR supported us throughout the planning and compliance process at Donadea and continues to advise us on several other projects. Their advice is clear and practical, and they have been very good at coordinating the planning and technical inputs needed at each stage. Their support was an important part of bringing Donadea from the planning application through to opening."

The €1.5 million development is expected to attract over 25,000 visitors in its first year, rising to more than 40,000 annually by 2033, while generating an estimated €9.3 million in economic impact over the next 15 years and supporting 20 jobs.

Located within Donadea Forest Park, the new off-grid adventure facility features six aerial courses, dedicated junior activities, elevated treetop nets and accessible visitor facilities, enhancing the park's existing recreational and heritage attractions while promoting sustainable tourism.

Congratulations to Zipit Forest Adventures, Coillte, Fáilte Ireland and everyone involved in delivering this fantastic new destination. We are proud to have played a role in bringing this exciting project from planning to opening.
