Future of Quambatook units

Submit an Expression of Interest before 5pm Friday, 24 July 2026.

Council is inviting public Expressions of Interest (EOI) regarding the future use of three Council-owned units located at 9-11 Guthrie Street, Quambatook.

Previously owned by the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, Council acquired the units to supplement home and community-based services offered by its Community Care Services team prior to Council’s decision to cease providing these services in late 2023.

Council sought feedback regarding the future of the units in late 2024 as part of a wider engagement campaign relating to non-core Council-owned assets at Quambatook, with a decision regarding next steps deferred in mid-2025.

The implementation of an EOI process will allow Council to consider a broad range of future opportunities for the site, with this process enabling community groups, organisations and private parties to put forward practical proposals for the future use of the units.
