Strategic Policy Committees

Strategic Policy Committees (SPC's) play a key role in terms of developing new policies for Galway City Council.

SPC's were established more than ten years ago in all local authorities, as part of same process that saw the establishment of Community Fora, with the aim of improving the development of policy within city and county councils. Elected councillors make-up two thirds of SPC membership and the remaining one-third is filled with representatives from local sectoral interests, including the community and voluntary sector. In this way, the SPC's allow people with relevant expertise to work alongside elected representatives, and to contribute to and develop Council policy in a spirit of partnership.

Galway City Council has five SPC's:
SPC 1: Housing Services
SPC 2: Transportation and Infrastructure
SPC 3: Economic Development and Planning
SPC 4: Environment
SPC 5: Recreation Amenity and Culture
