314, 316 & 322 Main Road, Glenorchy (formerly known as the Golden Years Club, Croquet Club and Bowls Club)

Glenorchy City Council has sought feedback from the community about the potential disposal of Council owned land at 314, 316 & 322 Main Road, Glenorchy (formerly known as the Golden Years Club, Croquet Club and Bowls Club, all of which no longer operate), by way of exclusive dealing to The Salvation Army. All proposed land is zoned as “Community Purpose” under the Planning Scheme and is shown outlined in red in the map below.

Following initial consultation with surrounding property owners in August 2025, Council decided at its meeting on the 29 September 2025 to notify the public of Council’s intention to dispose of this property.

Under section 178 of the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) Council is required to notify the community of any proposal to sell public land and provide the community with an opportunity to have their views heard.

A 21-day public notification will commence Monday, 6 October 2025. Objections/Expressions of Interest must be lodged and received before the close of business on Monday, 27 October 2025. Any submissions received will be considered by the Council at a future Council meeting in accordance with subsection 178(6) of the Act.

The proposed investigation will involve the potential disposal of 314 Main Road, Glenorchy via a proposed exclusive dealing with the Salvation Army for a property swap/sale for their property at 1/370 Main Road, Glenorchy. This property includes the Salvation Army building that directly adjoins the Council forecourt which Council has identified as an ideal location to develop into a Youth Hub, and for the office space upstairs that is connected to the Council Chambers via the airbridge.

The disposal of 314 Main Road is only proposed on the condition of a successful property swap/sale agreement with the Salvation Army for 1/370 Main Road and will not be pursued for disposal otherwise.

The proposed potential disposal of 316 and 322 Main Road, Glenorchy (former bowls and croquet club) is also via a proposed exclusive dealing with the Salvation Army for a property swap/sale for their property at 1/370 Main Road Glenorchy, in the first instance. If a successful property swap/sale agreement cannot be reached with the Salvation Army, then these two properties (316 and 322) will still be proposed for disposal.

This proposal would secure the Salvation Army premises that has direct access onto the Council forecourt, for Council to develop and operate a Youth Hub.
