Overview

Westbury is a charming town of 2,272 residents (2021 Census) located 30 km west of Launceston on the Bass Highway. Its historic village green – billed as Australia’s only traditional English‑style green – anchors a community that celebrates its Irish roots each year with the St Patrick’s Festival of song, dance and a family parade. Heritage buildings, the nearby White House and attractions such as Pearn’s Steam World give the town a distinct, tourism‑focused lifestyle while the primary school and local agriculture keep it grounded.

The town offers a varied housing mix, from high‑quality bed‑and‑breakfasts and colonial‑inn‑style lodgings to country‑hotel accommodations, catering to both residents and visitors. Major employers include Tasmanian Alkaloids, the Meander Valley Council and Tasmanian Aquaculture, and easy road access puts most north‑and‑north‑west Tasmanian attractions within a two‑hour drive, making Westbury an attractive base for work and leisure alike.
