The group's also pushing for a playground and footpath in the area
Progress is continuing to find a suitable premises for a new community centre for the Carbury Derrinturn Community Group.
Kildare County Council's Community Department met with the group one two occasions, most recently in September.
Social Democrats Councillor for Clane/Maynooth Municipal District Paula Mulroe had asked for an update on progress at a recent MD meeting.
The Council said a proposed lease has been submitted for consideration by the Diocesan Office.
KCC did also state that since property acquisitions or leases taken by the council are an "executive function", it couldn't publicly discuss the details during the meeting.
Speaking on Kildare Today, Cllr Mulroe said that the the Diocesan Office owns "certain pockets" of the lands that the group had been looking at.
"It's quite sensitive as you can imagine, to try and work that through, but there's positive movement which is great to see.
"It's to keep the community engaged and informed, is what I'll try to do," Mulroe added.
The group is also working towards a footpath that will link both neighbouring communities, as well as pushing for a playground in the area.
As of now, no site has been identified for a playground, but Cllr Mulroe insists there is a "strong commitment" from residents and the Council to complete the project.
"Some great work has been done in Carbury and Derrinturn, and when I've met them they speak about it very much as a total community, both communities as one," she concluded.
