The Mirani township was the major centre and civic hub of the former Mirani Shire and still contains a range of community and other services that serve a broad catchment that includes much of the hinterland area of the Pioneer Valley.
An elegant orthogonal grid underlies the town structure with the rail line running along the main street. Its uniqueness is an element that could be capitilsed on for tourism and community identity.
The grided network of streets also provides excellent connectivity for both vehicles and pedestrians. This layout lends itself to a more compact form of development with any extensions ‘bolting on’ to the existing network expanding the grided system.
