Proposals have been announced to redevelop Dundonald International Ice Bowl in Co Down.

The revitalised plans would see the current building demolished to make way for a new state-of-the-art facility.

The new development would consist of a new olympic-sized ice rink with spectator seating; ten pin bowling facility; children's soft play and adventure play; party rooms; gymnasium; cafe and coffee shop; healthcare centre including a pharmacy; multi use community rooms; offices and general support accommodation; and Parkland with Adventure and Community Play.

A central triple height atrium will form the main public entrance lobby and circulation zone.

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council will look to submit a planning application shortly for the redevelopment.

This scheme has some similar elements to plans which were approved for the site in 2015. The new application is smaller with a re-configuration of the internal facilities layout, and a significant re-design of the external building and site layout.

The Council is now carrying out a pre-application community consultation to allow locals to have their say on the development.

Those interested in submitting comments on the development can do so at public exhibitions or via an online feedback survey.

The deadline for feedback on the scheme is Monday 25 November at 6pm.
