CBD facelift to boost Caboolture’s profile in the region

James Street and Matthew Terrace streetscape refurbishment as part of Council’s Complete Streets Program is starting to take shape!

Once completed, the works will create an attractive and functional entrance into the Caboolture CBD.

The concept will also improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, by creating a mid-street pedestrian crossing point, revitalisation, widening and construction of new footpaths.

Landscaping, road rehabilitation and resurfacing, inclusion of public artwork, new street furniture and wayfinding signage plus provision CCTV are also included in the project.

Council is investing $2.175 million into streetscape enhancements, road rehabilitation and resurfacing works as part of this project.

“I am pleased this project is about to commence as part of Council’s Active Transport Program, Division 3 Councillor Adam Hain said.

“The project will result in improvements to amenity in and around the Caboolture Station, James Street and Hasking Street public spaces, improve the retail focus and attract interest from developers and investors.

Once complete, these projects will help make the Moreton Bay Region an even better place to live, work and play.

Works commenced in May 2017 and are expected to be complete by October 2017, weather permitting.

Due to the nature of the works, expect a lot of changes to be made to the car parking areas and vehicular access in James Street. The non-timed area (central grass car park) within the James Street car park will be closed for the duration of the works.

James Street will be closed to vehicular traffic for approximately one month, weather depending, during the works; with detours in place directing traffic to Beerburrum Road.

However, pedestrian access to James Street shops will be retained and Matthew Terrace will be constructed under traffic control.

Council asks that you observe the instructions of work crews and road signage, plan any travel accordingly, and apologises for any inconvenience that you may encounter.
