Due to recent weather conditions and some adjustments to the design based on valuable feedback from our community, we have encountered a slight delay in completion.
Following discussions with community members, we have made minor design changes to ensure the final results align with everyone's expectations and needs.
Notably, we will maintain angle parking in front of the pub and down to the general store as requested by local business owners.
Our contractor, Fulton Hogan Industries P/L, anticipate completing the project towards the end of July 2024.
We understand that delays can be frustrating, and we sincerely appreciate your patience as we continue to collaborate closely with the community to achieve the best possible outcomes for all involved.
Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
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.
