Korneuburg's dream: Enjoy new Danube Island for local recreation and nature!

Korneuburg, Österreich - The SPÖ State Councilor Sven Hergovich took the initiative to secure an important natural jewel in Korneuburg for all of Lower Austria. The focus of the plans is the former Korneuburg shipyard, which is located on a peninsula on the Danube. The aim is to transform the area into a green island for local recreation, living space, culture and gastronomy. Hergovich emphasizes that on an area of 78,000 m², a central local recreation area should be created that benefits not only the city of Korneuburg, but also the growing area of Vienna. oe24.at reports that the SPÖ government members want to co-finance to support the implementation.

The Situation is complicated by an already decided construction block that is supposed to prevent luxury properties on this peninsula. Vice Mayor Bernadette Haider-Wittmann confirms that the city of Korneuburg has already had initial discussions with potential partners. The focus of the planning is also clearly in a local recreation area instead of expensive residential complexes, which corresponds to the wishes of the population. On the part of the city you strive to create a fair offer that is based on the real value of the area.

project steps and collaboration

To achieve the project, several measures are planned. This includes the purchase by the city and country as well as the legal security of the area through re -import. The focus is on the mix of uses from local recreation, living, gastronomy and culture. Hergovich also calls for a common commitment between the country and the municipality to ensure strong support for the project.

The comparison to the Danube Island in Vienna is particularly suitable, which, despite the initial criticism, became a popular recreation area. For Korneuburg, this project would be a unique way to create a green oasis and at the same time preserve biodiversity and the cultural landscape. This is in line with the goals of many nature parks in Lower Austria, which aim to maintain the landscapes for both residents and for visitors and to manage them sustainably. According to Naturparkt-niederoesterreich.at, these recreational places offer an opportunity to experience and enjoy nature directly on the doorstep.

Overall, there are promising approaches to the development of the former shipyard area, and the Korneuburg population shows great interest in the redesign of the area. The next steps must now be taken in close cooperation between the actors in order to turn this vision of reality. Neuzzeit.at emphasizes that the bankruptcy of the Signa has opened the opportunity to advance this important project.
