Penguin, TAS 7316

Overview

Nestled on Tasmania’s north coast, Penguin is a town of 4,132 residents (2021 census) in the Central Coast Council area. It sits on the Bass Highway between Burnie and Ulverstone, offering easy road links, and the rail line reached the town in 1901, underpinning its connectivity. The streets of the heritage‑listed CBD feature a mix of original timber homes and newer builds, while recent school redevelopment and foreshore upgrades reflect modest growth and investment in residential infrastructure.

Families benefit from two K‑12 schools – the public Penguin District School and the Seventh‑day Adventist North West Christian School – near the town centre. Outdoor recreation thrives, with the Dial Range and nearby Mount Montgomery State Reserve offering hiking trails, and the foreshore providing ramps, stairs and a car park at Lions Park. Community spirit shines through Pink Up Your Town fundraiser and art installations, while the Big Penguin sculpture adds coastal charm.

Region type mix: Regional 98%, Metro 2%.
