Overview

Lauderdale is a small town on the eastern side of the thin isthmus that links the South Arm Peninsula to mainland Hobart, with a population of 2,592 recorded in the 2021 census. Its position on the outskirts of the capital makes it a popular residential choice for commuters to Hobart’s CBD, with the main road from the city running along the waterfront and offering views of the sharp colour change in Ralphs Bay. Housing is clustered along Roches Beach on Frederick Henry Bay, and the area retains a mix of coastal homes while a proposed canal estate at Ralphs Bay was rejected in 2010, keeping the existing neighbourhood character intact.

Residents enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle supported by numerous amenities. The town hosts Lauderdale Oval, a skate‑park, the Lauderdale Yacht Club with boat ramps, and several barbecue and play parks. Families benefit from a primary school, a childcare centre, and the local Abundant Life Church, while the nearby ABC Radio Hobart transmitter and heritage sites such as the Ralphs Bay Neck Convict Tramway add a touch of history to daily life.
