Overview

Dairy Plains is a quiet rural locality in the Meander Valley council area, situated about 36 km west of Westbury in Tasmania’s Launceston region. The 2016 census recorded just 69 residents, giving the neighbourhood a close‑knit, country feel framed by survey‑line boundaries and small watercourses that add subtle natural character. Gazetted in 1968, the area was originally part of the Van Diemen’s Land Company holdings, lending a heritage of agricultural roots.

The main transport link is Route C168, known locally as Dairy Plains Road, which runs north‑south through the settlement, providing straightforward access to surrounding towns and the wider Launceston region. With its modest population, housing is primarily low‑density, rural‑style dwellings that suit a lifestyle focused on open space and easy commutes along the well‑maintained road.
