Overview

Granton is a rural residential locality split between the Derwent Valley (80 %) and Glenorchy (20 %) councils, lying about 9 kilometres north of Glenorchy and forming part of the Hobart metropolitan area. The 2016 census recorded 1 736 residents, enjoying a lifestyle framed by the River Derwent to the north and the surrounding hills – Mount Nassau, Snake Mount, Limestone Hill and Rose Hills – which provide natural backdrop for outdoor pursuits.

Local amenities include the Granton War Memorial Hall, public toilets and the Granton Green Reserve, all situated within the Derwent Valley‑administered section. The historic Granton Convict Site, with its 1838 Old Watch House and quarry, adds cultural interest. Road access is direct via the Lyell Highway (A10) running east‑west, linking the suburb to nearby Glenorchy and Hobart, while the mix of rural‑residential properties reflects the area’s blend of open land and established homes.
