Overview

Westbury sits 30 km west of Launceston on the Bass Highway, giving residents quick road access to the city and to most north‑and‑north‑west tourist attractions within a two‑hour drive. The 2021 Census recorded 2 272 people living in the town, which serves as the headquarters of the Meander Valley Council and enjoys a traditional English‑style village green at its centre – a rare community space in Australia.

Lifestyle in Westbury blends historic charm with modern convenience. A variety of accommodation options, from high‑quality bed‑and‑breakfasts to colonial‑inn style lodgings, support a lively tourism sector that includes attractions such as Pearn’s Steam World and the Westbury Maze. The annual St Patrick’s Festival celebrates the town’s Irish roots with music, dance and a street parade, while the local economy is anchored by Tasmanian Alkaloids, council services, aquaculture and the primary school.
