The environmental plan amendment “TAM Environmental Plan Chapter 22e Sanghorst 9 Mierlo” was available for public review for six weeks starting December 19, 2025. One opinion was submitted regarding the draft environmental plan amendment. This opinion led to a revised environmental plan amendment.

Draft Goorsedijk Development Plan: City Council Proposal

Over the past year, we have worked together with residents, business owners, and other stakeholders to develop a development plan for the area around Goorsedijk in Mierlo. To this end, three (public participation) meetings were organized, during which the area’s strengths and opportunities were identified and ideas for its future development were exchanged. This participatory process has resulted in a (draft) development plan that addresses the question of which functions can be accommodated in the area and how we can simultaneously preserve and enhance the area’s qualities. In accordance with the earlier process agreements, we propose to submit the draft Goorsedijk Development Plan to the Spatial Planning Committee for its consideration.

The council has decided to approve the attached agenda request to present the draft Goorsedijk Development Plan to the Spatial Planning Committee for its consideration.

Memorandum on the Adoption of Amendments to the Genoenhuis Environmental Plan

Since the Omgevingswet took effect Omgevingswet January 1, 2024, the municipality has automatically (by operation of law) had a single environmental plan. This environmental plan replaces all existing zoning plans (and management regulations). We must convert this temporary environmental plan into a full-fledged environmental plan by 2032 at the latest. The conversion from the temporary to the new environmental plan will take place in stages and on an area-by-area basis. The first amendment concerns the Genoenhuis residential area in Geldrop. In addition, the preparatory decision adopted by the council last year regarding commercial units on industrial parks is also incorporated into this plan. After the informal participation process was completed in 2025, the formal procedure was initiated in March with the publication of the draft decision. The amendment to the Environmental Plan is now ready for adoption.

The council resolves:
1. To approve the proposed responses to the comments and ex officio amendments; 

2. To request that the council adopt the amended version of the Geldrop-Mierlo Environmental Plan (Genoenhuis subarea).

Policy Paper on Updating the Client Participation Regulation under the Participation Act & Minimum Income Standards for the Municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo 2026

GR Senzer fulfills the mandatory client representation requirement under the Participation Act through the Regional Client Council. The form and structure of this Regional Client Council have recently been revised. The 2015 Geldrop-Mierlo Participation Act Client Participation Regulation governs the local Client Council (CPM). This ordinance also includes a provision regarding regional coordination. Due to the changes in the Regional Client Council, this provision is no longer sufficient. An update to the ordinance is therefore necessary. This proposal amends the ordinance so that it effectively aligns with the revised regional structure.

The Executive Committee resolves:
To submit the council proposal “Updating the 2026 Client Participation and Minimum Income Ordinance” to the municipal council for a decision, containing the following decision points:
a. To adopt the “Client Participation Ordinance under the Participation Act & Minimum Income for the Municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo 2026”;
b. To repeal the “Geldrop-Mierlo Client Participation Ordinance 2015.”

Board Proposal for the Construction of Hockey Field 3 at HC Mierlo

HC Mierlo’s Field 3 at the Oudven Sports Park no longer meets the standards set by NOC*NSF and the KNHB for safe use and the playing of league matches. The periodic quality inspection conducted by SGS Intron on February 28, 2025, indicates that the field is deemed insufficiently safe for continued long-term use. 

In consultation with the KNHB, it has been determined that the field can still be used for the current season but must be replaced before the start of the new hockey season. To make this possible, a bidding process has been completed for the complete replacement of the field. 

The tender process has shown that the previously allocated funding is insufficient to carry out the work. The higher costs are due to sharply rising material prices, market developments, and international disruptions in supply chains. As a result, an increase in funding is necessary.

The Executive Committee resolves:
1. To provide the Council, via the attached council memo, with the opportunity to express its wishes and concerns regarding the increase in the investment appropriation for the replacement of hockey field 3 at the Oudven sports park from €590,000 to €765,000, including VAT. This entails an increase in the annual capital cost of €14,349.
2. Subject to the Council raising no wishes or concerns, to award the contract for the replacement of hockey field 3 at Oudven Sports Park to CSC Sport / GreenFields for an amount of

€765,000, including VAT.

1. To award the contract for the renovation of hockey fields 2, 3, and 4 at the Geldrop Hockey Club’s Bronzewei sports park to Finovi B.V. of Sint-Oedenrode for an amount of €2,072,246, excluding VAT, in accordance with specifications 25NW27901BE-02.

Memorandum on the Adoption of the Regional Implementation Strategy for Facilities (RUS-V) MRE

The population of the Southeast Brabant region is projected to grow by approximately 20–25% by 2040. Growth without adequate infrastructure places pressure on schools, Health, sports, culture, and green spaces. Uncoordinated growth undermines quality of life and social cohesion, partly because this growth also results in changing demographics. That is why “Balanced Growth” and “Broad Prosperity” are key concepts here. The Regional Implementation Strategy for Facilities (RUS-V) is part of the 21 municipalities’ response to this challenge. The strategy outlines how we will collectively take responsibility to transform this scale expansion into a leap in quality.

The Municipal Executive decides:
1. To approve the Regional Implementation Strategy for Facilities (RUS-V) with regard to the regional vision, guiding principles, and broad outlines of action, with Geldrop-Mierlo committing to further regional elaboration and coordination, and taking into account the Geldrop-Mierlo response mentioned in point 3. 
2. To approve the three regional priorities within the RUS-V:
- Educational facilities
- Primary care and mental health care
- Sports and physical activity, including village/neighborhood centers. 
3. To adopt the attached municipality-specific response from Geldrop-Mierlo and to send it as the official response of the municipal executive to the Executive Committee of the MRE, so that Geldrop-Mierlo’s points of concern are taken into account in further regional development. 
4. To lift the confidentiality as of May 19, 2026, and subsequently inform the municipal council via a Council Information Letter regarding the approval of the regional strategy and its implications for Geldrop-Mierlo.
