Buderim Old Post Office (OPO)

Home to BWMCA & Buderim Foundation

The Old Post Office (OPO) is a property in which the Buderim War Memorial Community Association takes great pride. It is the oldest building in the Buderim CBD and was the original post office. After 4 years of negotiation with Telstra and a year of intense and community-driven fundraising, the Association purchased the property in 2000.

The Maroochy Shire Council estimated that it would cost over $100,000 to restore the building which had fallen into great disrepair. A massive community volunteer effort and a remarkable response in service and materials from local businesses and individuals meant that the cost of restoration was only just over $4000!

The main function is as a Community Information Centre which is staffed 5 days a week, by over 40 volunteers, servicing residents and tourists alike! It is also now the official headquarters of the BWMCA and the Buderim Foundation.

The story of the Old Post Office is solid proof of what can be achieved with Buderim’s spirit of community.
