3/5 Chestnut Avenue

3/5 Chestnut Avenue is a unit that includes three bedrooms. It provides low‑maintenance living within the Lutana suburb.

The unit is about 0.6 km from Apex Park and Rugby Park, giving residents easy walking access to open space and playgrounds. These parks are within the same neighbourhood.

The New Town Bay Golf Club adjoins Lutana, and the property is roughly 0.6 km away, making it a short walk or quick drive to the nine‑hole course.

Lutana was once served by the Risdon and Abbatoirs branch railway lines until 1974, providing passenger services to the zinc works. There are ongoing community proposals to convert the former rail corridor into a walking and cycling link (the Lutana Link).

Soil samples in Lutana have shown elevated levels of zinc, lead and cadmium due to historic emissions from the nearby Risdon Zinc Works. Residents are advised to grow sensitive vegetables in raised beds with clean soil to reduce uptake of contaminants.

National Route 1, known as the Brooker Highway, runs along the suburb’s south‑western edge, providing direct road connections to Hobart and Glenorchy.

Lutana originated as a model village for employees of the Risdon Zinc Works, featuring early 20th‑century concrete houses built under industrial welfare schemes. The suburb was officially gazetted in 1961 and has since grown into an inner‑urban residential area.

The unit is approximately 0.2 km from the New Town Rivulet and about 0.6 km from New Town Bay, offering nearby access to river and waterfront environments.
