Project Update - 10 August 2023

The Buchan Streetscape project is progressing towards construction. An updated layout plan is available to be viewed in the documents sections (or click on the green link above).

Minor adjustments to the final design have been necessary to align with available budget, these changes will not impact the general delivery of the streetscape project.

The key outcomes that will be delivered are:

• Car parking will be increased within the town.
• Both service roads will remain two-way.
• The area near the existing playground and toilet block will be formalised and activated as shown in the previous design.
• Additional carparking will be implemented near the playground and the adjacent the CFA Shed.
• Additional carparking will be implemented adjacent the Hall.
• Roads will be re-sealed and line marked. This will improve vehicle and pedestrian safety
• Long Vehicle carparking will be created and sign posted.
• Pram crossings will be realigned to provide safer crossing points.
• Street furniture will be upgraded, and additional tables installed, where appropriate.
• Additional tree plantings and gardens will be installed.

Commencement of construction is to be confirmed once a contractor has been engaged to undertake the works.

Council will be in contact with property owners that may be impacted by the works.
