Kentish Council is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from businesses, community organisations, entrepreneurs and investors to breathe new life into the former Railton Squash Court Complex at Goliath Park, Railton.
Located within one of the region’s most active recreation precincts, the facility presents a rare opportunity to transform an existing building into a vibrant new destination that supports recreation, tourism, business innovation or community wellbeing.
Mayor Kate Haberle said Council was eager to see the site reactivated in a way that benefits both Railton and the wider Kentish community.
“This is an exciting chance for someone with vision to create something unique in Railton. The complex is in a prime location, surrounded by existing sporting and recreational assets, and directly connected to the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Network,” Mayor Haberle said.
“We know Railton continues to grow as a destination for visitors and active lifestyles, and Council is keen to support proposals that bring fresh energy, services and opportunities to the town.”
The approximately 223m² facility includes two former squash court spaces, kitchen and amenities, mezzanine viewing area, existing utility connections, and convenient parking.
Council is encouraging a broad range of proposals, including fitness and wellness uses, indoor recreation activities, tourism or adventure-based enterprises, childcare or educational uses (subject to approvals), or innovative community-focused ventures.
Flexible lease and tenure options are available, including long-term arrangements where private investment is proposed.
The Railton site sits alongside bowls, tennis, pickleball, skate and pump track facilities, making it an ideal complement to the town’s growing recreational offering.
Expressions of Interest close at 5.00pm on Friday, 15 May 2026.
Copies of the EOI are available here or by contacting Kentish Council on 6491 0200.
