Overview

Whitemore is a quiet rural enclave in the Meander Valley, situated about 11 km south‑east of Westbury in Tasmania’s Launceston region. The 2016 census recorded just 198 residents, giving the town a small, largely Australian‑born and ageing community. Its landscape is dotted with a few houses, a historic 1864 brick church (now part of the Uniting Church), an 1857 former Wesleyan chapel that serves as a community hall, and the sizable workshop and offices of Shaw Contracting, the town’s long‑standing civil‑engineering hub.

Lifestyle in Whitemore revolves around local recreation – a park, tennis courts and fields host cricket and tennis teams. While rail service ceased before 1978, modern transport is provided by car and school buses. The town’s amenities are modest, with the historic church, community hall and sports facilities forming the core of social life for residents.
