Among the outcomes, the Office of Public Works (OPW) has committed to replacing cars being walked up the estate by workers with a specialised buggy service operating at 10km/h.
It's understood that Minister Kevin Boxer Moran said he could not justify the €10,000 per week cost of staff associated with previous measures.
A phased approach to managing the site was outlined.
It includes a short-term plan to reopen Castletown House with access limited to only five essential vehicles per day.
The medium-term plan is to develop a car park at the Kildare Innovation Campus.
The long-term plan is to restore Castletown House and its grounds to their "former glory", according to the source.
