Overview

Scottsdale is north‑east Tasmania’s largest town, home to 2,408 residents (2021 Census). Its strong community vibe is reflected in local sporting clubs, agricultural shows and venues such as the Scottsdale Art Gallery Café, while attractions like Barnbougle Dunes Golf Links, the Bridestowe Lavender Estate and the Defence Science and Technology Group’s nutrition research facility provide both recreation and employment. Recent housing developments are adding self‑contained units and dormitory‑style rooms to cater to seasonal workers, tourists and mountain‑bike visitors.

The town sits on the Tasman Highway, linking it directly with Launceston to the west and the north‑east coast, and is served by regional bus routes operated by the North East Bus Service. Although rail service ended in the early 2000s, the former line has been converted into the North East Rail Trail for cyclists and walkers, and ongoing road upgrades continue to improve safety and freight access for the growing tourism and agricultural sectors.
