The former railway station at Kilmacthomas and the area around Lismore's Bank of Ireland, both of which are listed structures, will be transformed into projects costing an estimated €500,000.
The railway station has been closed since 1982 while the bank site has been deteriorating since it closed in 2020.
In a scheme developed in conjunction with the Kilmacthomas Social Enterprise group, the railway station's main building will be turned into two accommodation units, with a capacity for four people.
Two traditional-style work huts, also with a capacity for four people, will be constructed, while a large model railway will be housed in a purpose-built unit.
Waterford Council will also install five glamping pods on the grounds of Lismore's former bank, which it purchased for €290,000 in 2022.
The pods are a collaborative initiative with the Lismore Town Association and will cost an estimated €350,000.
Both projects are expected to be completed by year's end and will be managed by third parties.
