Construction is progressing on the south side of Main Street.
The contractor is currently establishing footpath connections between the shops and the toilet block, as well as continuing with road pavement construction. Works on the south side are expected to be completed in the coming weeks, with line marking, street furniture and signage installed.
Works will be undertaken on the north side of Main Street, including drainage upgrades, kerb replacement and an asphalt overlay to Shire managed service roads.
A landscaping and tree replacement program will follow shortly after the civil works are completed and will be undertaken by Council’s in-house team.
Council anticipates construction to be finalised by the end of June 2024 and will keep the community updated throughout the process.

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.
