Penguin, TAS 7316

Overview

Penguin sits on Tasmania’s north coast within Central Coast Council, on the Bass Highway between Burnie and Ulverstone. With 4,132 residents (2021 Census), the town blends coastal living with 30 heritage‑listed sites, the iconic Big Penguin sculpture, and easy access to the Dial Range’s hiking trails on Mount Montgomery, Mount Dial, Mount Gnomon and Mount Duncan, while community projects such as the $6.5 million foreshore remediation and the annual “Pink Up Your Town” fundraiser reinforce a strong local spirit.

Families benefit from Penguin District School, a K‑12 campus undergoing a $20 million single‑site redevelopment, and the North West Christian School. The Bass Highway provides quick links to Burnie and Ulverstone, and the historic rail connection from Ulverstone (1901) highlights the town’s transport heritage. Housing ranges from heritage‑character homes in the compact CBD to newer builds on surrounding flats, offering diverse options for buyers.
