Overview

Newnham is a residential suburb situated about 7 kilometres north of Launceston, perched on the eastern side of the Tamar River whose waters delineate its south‑western edge. The East Tamar Highway (Route A8) runs straight through the locality, offering quick road connections northward and into the city centre, while its proximity to the river provides pleasant waterfront views.

The suburb’s lifestyle is shaped by a range of educational and recreational facilities. Campuses of the University of Tasmania, the Australian Maritime College and TasTAFE sit within Newnham, complemented by Kerslake Hall residential college and the Mowbray Indoor Sport ’n’ Skate centre. Nearby parks such as Bethune Park and the backdrop of Mount Stewart enhance outdoor leisure, and a variety of schools, including Australian Christian College and East Tamar Primary, serve families. This blend of student precincts and family‑oriented housing creates a diverse residential mix within a well‑connected, amenity‑rich community.
