Overview

Brooklyn is a quiet residential locality within the Burnie LGA, positioned about 3 km south of the Burnie town centre. The 2016 Census recorded 553 residents, many living in homes that originated from the early‑1940s subdivision of the 60‑acre Brooklyn Estate – a development once hailed as the “Toorak of progressive Burnie”. Framed by Alexander Creek to the west and Romaine Creek on the east and north, the suburb enjoys a leafy setting close to the coast and nearby parks.

Road B18 (Mount Street) runs along the western edge, with Roslyn Avenue linking the area from the south and Brooklyn Road providing direct access from the north, ensuring easy commutes to Burnie and surrounding suburbs. While the original Brooklyn Primary School closed in 2009, families now benefit from the nearby Romaine Park Primary and the Burnie Child and Family Centre housed in the former Acton Primary building. The locality’s historic post office legacy and its proximity to schools, creeks and the sea contribute to a well‑rounded, low‑key lifestyle.
