The Belfast Hills Partnership

The Belfast Hills Partnership is made up representatives from local councils, government departments, community groups, nature conservation organisations and businesses. They are committed to caring for the Belfast Hills, their wildlife and people.
The Partnership is managed by directors nominated from the statutory, community and local government sectors.



Current Issues and Future Solutions

The Belfast Hills face a wide range of ongoing problems. These include fly-tipping and illegal landfill, pressures for local agriculture, access to the Hills and quality of life issues for local people.


The Belfast Hills Operational Area

 
The operational boundary of the Belfast Hills Partnership encompasses approximately 4,400 hectares. 
From the hills, walkers can see a huge area that not only includes a number of key landmarks within the Greater Belfast area, but also most of the counties in the north of Ireland as well as beyond to Scotland and the Isle of Man...


Achievements this Year
Great strides have been taken this year with a marked increase in our project work and relocation to new offices.
In keeping with our sustainable development initiative model, work areas are grouped under Environmental, Economic and Social plus Corporate work.

Upcoming work
These work areas arise from the Belfast Hills Business Plan and represent primarily the project work to be carried out beyond our core functions. These include our ongoing event programme, planning responses, board meetings, administration and volunteer work.
 

Planning Responses
We comment on key planning applications and are currently involved in responding to the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan enquiry.
