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.
