Civil works along the north side service road are almost complete, and things are really taking shape.
We’ve widened the road shoulder for better parking and moved the bus stop to the south side service road.
The upmost care was taken while we repositioned the rock cairn monument to accommodate the new kerb and channel and carparking.
In the Community Hall carpark, we're adding new parking spaces where possible, including a brand-new disabled parking bay.
Signage and street furniture installation is continuing, and entire site will be given a general tidy up. The north service road will soon get a fresh asphalt overlay with line-marking. Fulton Hogan, our contractor, is keen to wrap up everything in the next 3-4 weeks.
Mid to late August 2024 will see the installation of the new EV Charger. Our in-house parks and gardens team will be busy with street tree replacement and plantings throughout the new garden beds, once the weather begins to warm up.

Buchan is celebrating a significant upgrade to its main road and walking path connections, following the completion of the Buchan Main Street and Linkages Project.
Undertaken in two parts, this significant project commenced in November 2022 with the creation of a 2.5m-wide, 1300m-long shared pathway connecting Buchan to the limestone Buchan Caves and surrounding park.
In addition to the pathway, significant upgrades to the town’s streetscape include new parking areas near key locations such as the Buchan Playground, CFA facility, and Mechanics Hall.
Roads have been re-sealed with new line markings to increase safety for both vehicles and pedestrians. The installation of new street furniture, including tables, has enhanced the town’s aesthetic appeal, making it more inviting for locals and visitors to the area.
