Overview

Sandy Bay is situated immediately south of Hobart’s CBD, bounded by the River Derwent and offering public access to Short, Nutgrove, Long and Lords beaches, which give the suburb a relaxed coastal lifestyle. It is a prestigious area of large homes and some of Tasmania’s most expensive properties on the slopes of Mt Nelson, and it hosts the University of Tasmania campus, private schools (Fahan, Hutchins, Mount Carmel) and Australia’s first legal casino, Wrest Point.

Sandy Bay Road runs from Davey Street in the city to Taroona, becoming the Channel Highway, while Regent Street provides a shortcut to the higher‑lying neighbourhoods and the university precinct. According to the 2016 census the suburb had 11,927 residents with a median age of 40; incomes are above the regional average and the housing mix ranges from family homes to student accommodation around the university, reflecting both wealth and diversity.
