Overview

Smithton sits on the far north‑west coast of Tasmania, 85 km north‑west of Burnie along the Bass Highway. At the 2021 Census the town’s population was 3,934, making it the administrative heart of the Circular Head Council. The highway provides easy road links to the rest of the state, while the historic rail corridors that once connected Smithton to Marrawah, Stanley and the wider network reflect its long‑standing role as a regional hub.

Residents enjoy a modest range of amenities within walking distance. Education options include St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School, Circular Head Christian School and a government high school. Local heritage is celebrated at the volunteer‑run Cultural Heritage Centre and Museum, and green spaces such as Briant Hill Nature Recreation Area, Anzac Park and Rotaract Park offer outdoor leisure. Essential services like the Smithton Police Station and the heritage‑listed ANZ Bank building, together with a variety of agricultural‑linked employers, support a relaxed, community‑focused lifestyle.
