4/29 Lucinda Parade

It is situated in the suburb of Lutana, about 3 km south‑east of Glenorchy in the City of Glenorchy, Tasmania. The unit is only 0.1 km from New Town Bay and Apex Park.

Apex Park, Rugby Park and Lutana Woodlands Reserve are each within roughly 0.1 km, providing open space and playground facilities. The suburb also borders the New Town Bay Golf Club.

Lutana once had passenger rail service until 1974, and there are community proposals to turn the former rail corridor into a walking‑and‑cycling link called the “Lutana Link”. Road access is provided by the Brooker Highway (National Route 1) which runs along the suburb’s south‑western edge.

Soil surveys have found elevated zinc, lead and cadmium in the top 20 mm of ground, linked to historic emissions from the nearby Nyrstar zinc refinery. Residents are advised to grow sensitive vegetables in raised beds with clean soil.

The site rests on fine‑to‑medium‑grained dolerite, with shallow deposits generally remaining fresh and massive, though minor weathered zones can extend up to 5 m inland.

Lutana was created in the early 1900s as a model workers’ village for the Risdon Zinc Works, featuring Arts and Crafts‑style poured‑concrete houses. It was officially gazetted as a locality in 1961 and now includes a mix of older homes, townhouses and apartments.

The Brooker Highway (National Route 1) runs along the south‑western edge of Lutana, placing it within a short walk or drive from the unit.
