Overview

Launceston is a thriving regional centre of 76,849 people (2021 census) that consistently ranks among Australia’s most livable cities. Its historic CBD bursts with well‑preserved Victorian, Georgian and Federation homes, while a vibrant cultural scene is anchored by the UNESCO City of Gastronomy title, the Queen Victoria Museum, Albert Hall and the popular City Park – home to a Japanese macaque enclosure. Nearby hotels such as the Commodore Regent and Hotel Launceston, along with the modern Launceston Aquatic centre, give residents easy access to dining, recreation and accommodation.

Transport links are extensive: the city sits at the hub of five major highways, a curfew‑free airport 15 km away serves over a million passengers yearly, and the Port of Bell Bay handles millions of tonnes of cargo. Cars dominate the streets, which feature a network of one‑way routes, while strict building height limits keep most residences low‑rise, preserving a mix of heritage homes and newer dwellings across the suburb.
