Forest, TAS 7330
Overview
Forest is a small rural community in Tasmania’s North West, sitting about 11 km east of Smithton within the Circular Head council area. With a 2021 census population of 464, the locality enjoys a quiet lifestyle framed by the Black River to the south‑east and the Bass Highway along its north‑western edge. The heritage‑listed St Bartholemews Anglican Church, just 0.8 km from the centre, provides a focal point for local gatherings and reflects the area’s historic character.
Road connectivity is a strength of Forest. The Bass Highway borders the suburb, while the C221 (Back Line Road) links directly to Smithton and loops back to the highway at Wiltshire. The B21 (Stanley Highway) heads north to Stanley, and the C219 (Mengha Road) provides south‑bound access through Forest to Mengha and the west coast, supporting a blend of residential properties typical of a modest, rural housing mix.
Region type mix: Regional 97%, Metro 3%.
