Overview

Westbury lies 30 km west of Launceston on the Bass Highway, giving quick road links to the city and the north‑west tourist region within two hours. At the 2021 Census the town had 2,272 residents and centres on a historic village green, claimed as Australia’s only traditional English‑style green. Heritage buildings and the annual St Patrick’s Festival, with music, dance and a parade, add cultural appeal, while accommodation ranges from bed‑and‑breakfasts to colonial‑inn and country‑hotel styles.

Local amenities include Westbury Primary School, the Meander Valley Council offices and the town’s largest employer, Tasmanian Alkaloids, alongside aquaculture operations. Nearby attractions such as Pearn’s Steam World, the Westbury Maze and Tea Rooms, the White House, the Village Green and the giant cricket‑stump gateway provide leisure for residents and visitors. This blend of historic charm and modern services makes Westbury a distinctive place to live and explore.
