Overview

New Town lies just 4 km north of Hobart’s CBD and is recognised as the city’s oldest suburb, settled a week after Sullivans Cove. Its leafy streets are lined with a mix of grand colonial mansions, Georgian, Federation cottages and Art Deco homes, reflecting the area’s historic wealth and the later subdivision of large farms after the world wars. Architect‑designed residences by Thomas Reibey Atkinson and Henry Hunter add character, while the suburb is bordered by North Hobart, Mount Stuart, Lenah Valley and Moonah, with the Queen’s Domain to the south‑east.

Today New Town offers a full suite of amenities: Centro New Town Plaza anchors retail with Kmart and Coles, and a cluster of schools, including Hobart City High School, Sacred Heart College and the century‑old New Town Primary, serves families. The InterCity Cycleway traverses the suburb, linking it to Claremont and the city, and main thoroughfares such as New Town Road, Augusta Road and Giblin/Forster/Risdon Road provide direct routes to Glenorchy and the Brooker Highway. Nearby facilities include the Tasmanian Hockey Centre and the Domain Highway, supporting an active, well‑connected lifestyle.
