Muswellbrook Shire Council are set to begin demolition works on the town’s Bridge Street for the next phase of the transformational Muswellbrook Town Centre Revitalisation.
The Council says the improvements will deliver better parking and a vibrant community green space to be named Possum Park.
Demolition works will begin following a site handover today, with completion of Possum Park expected in early 2026.
Muswellbrook Mayor, Jeff Drayton said the demolition works are an exciting step in the town centre revitalisation.
“These improvements are all about a safer, greener, more accessible town centre that reflects the future of Muswellbrook and the lifestyle we want to deliver for our community,” Mayor Drayton said.
“Council has worked hard to balance some badly-needed renewal with retaining the unique character of Muswellbrook.”
The Mayor said the demolition will be carried out with specialist tools, overseen by a qualified site engineer, to minimise disruption and safeguard surrounding infrastructure including Possum Gully stormwater channels.
The value of the Muswellbrook Town Centre upgrades is estimated at $14.4 million and is being funded by Council, and the Australian and NSW Governments.
