1/71 Howard Road

The property at 1/71 Howard Road is a unit. It is a self‑contained residential dwelling within the Goodwood suburb.

National Route 1, known as the Brooker Highway, runs to the south‑west of Goodwood, giving quick car access to Hobart and surrounding areas. Several local roads also connect the unit to the broader road network.

Within roughly a kilometre you’ll find the Royal Hobart Showground, Elwick Racecourse, and the Derwent Entertainment Centre. Nearby parks such as Goodwood Park and Benjafield Park also provide green space for leisure.

The area is influenced by emissions from the nearby Risdon Zinc Works (Nyrstar Hobart), resulting in medium levels of air pollutants such as NOx and SO₂. While the Tasmanian Planning Scheme does not require notification of land contamination, it is a factor to consider.

Goodwood is a residential locality east of Glenorchy, gazetted in 1961 and known for its annual Christmas light displays. Most homes were built in the 1950s as public housing, and the suburb also includes light industry and dock facilities.

Prince of Wales Bay forms the eastern boundary of Goodwood, placing the waterfront roughly 1 km from the property. This provides easy access to bayside views and activities.

You’ll find the former Hobart Showground Drive‑In and the Elwick Drive‑In within 0.4–0.5 km, as well as the Goodwood Park and Benjafield Park at about 1 km. These sites offer entertainment and outdoor recreation close to home.
