McLachlan Street Maclean Upgrade

What's happening?

Council has obtained funding to upgrade the McLachlan and Argyle Street intersection in Maclean to resolve pavement issues from storm water systems beneath the pavement.

When is it happening?

Works are planned to begin from the 29 April 2025 and will continue until late September 2025. During this period, the intersection of McLachlan Street and Argyle Street will be fully closed, with detours in place. Local resident access will still be available. 

Work hours include:
Monday to Friday: 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Some Saturday work: Saturday 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

What are the benefits?

• A formal bus bay will be added along Argyle St to provide a safe drop-off point for school & community buses, ensuring a safe location for children to access the Maclean Olympic Pool.
• The proposed kerb extension at the unmarked crossing on McLachlan St has been removed from the design and replaced with a kerb ramp near the intersection, connecting to the pool and Argyle Street footpath.
• The existing footpath will be extended along Argyle Street, connecting to the footpath at Centenary Drive and Argyle Street.
• The kerb build-out at the intersection, including the 'No Entry' will be extended along McLachlan Street to replace the on-road section and create a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists traveling along McLachlan Street.

This project is funded by the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, which is a Federally Funded Grant.
