Overview

Ulverstone sits on Tasmania’s north‑coast at the mouth of the River Leven, 21 km west of Devonport and 12 km east of Penguin. With an urban population of 11,613 (June 2021), the town is a key stop on the Bass Highway and is linked by the modern Leven Bridge and a coastal walking track to Turners Beach. Its oceanic climate offers mild summers and cool, rainy winters, supporting a relaxed waterfront lifestyle.

The town centre features the $5.5 million Schweppes Arena, a 1,100‑seat basketball stadium overlooking the river, and a redeveloped wharf precinct that anchors local tourism. A range of heritage homes along Main Street and Eastland Drive sit alongside newer residential developments, providing diverse housing options. Families benefit from three public primary schools, a secondary college, and two private schools, while events such as TastroFest – Australia’s largest astronomy festival – add cultural vibrancy.
