Overview

South Hobart is an inner Hobart suburb bordered by Dynnyrne, Fern Tree, West Hobart and the CBD. It showcases a blend of heritage homes, such as the Georgian Milton residence and Henry Hunter’s Ashleigh, alongside landmarks like the Cascade Brewery, the historic Cascades Female Factory and All Saints’ Anglican Church (1858). The suburb’s iconic Keen’s Curry sign crowns the foothills of Mount Wellington, while a strong community spirit is fostered by the South Hobart Progress Association (est. 1922) and a local sustainability network that even protects platypus in the Hobart Rivulet. Residents enjoy sporting facilities including the South Hobart Football Club and the H Thompson Badminton Centre.

Conveniently served by Metro Tasmania bus routes 446 and the arterial Huon Road, South Hobart records Australia’s highest commuter‑cycling rate, seven times greater than Greater Hobart, and 15 % of residents walk to work. The suburb’s primary school feeds into Taroona High and Hobart College, and ABS 2021 data show 51.7 % of locals hold tertiary qualifications, far above state and national averages. Nearby green spaces such as Wellesley Park and Knocklofty Park add to a lifestyle that balances historic charm with active, sustainable living.
