Tasmania's Central Coast Council

About

Tasmania's Central Coast municipal area is set in the heart of the North-West Coast spanning an area of 932km2 and has a population of 21,908 people.
Central Coast is one of the most picturesque municipal areas in Tasmania and features both urban and rural areas. Eighty-five percent of the area's population live along the coastal strip. The principal townships are Ulverstone and Penguin, with smaller townships at Forth, Gawler, Heybridge, Leith, Sulphur Creek and Turners Beach.
Central Coast is at the forefront in agricultural production, well known for its crops of poppies, pyrethrum, peas, potatoes and onions, as well as timber production and livestock enterprises.
Tourism is also an important industry. The area is becoming increasingly attractive to investors, innovators and entrepreneurs due to its proximity to major transportation routes.
Each Central Coast town occupies its own unique and pleasant setting within the landscape. There's Ulverstone, centred on the waterfront with its myriad of parks and amenities. The town of Penguin – nestled between the Dial Range and the sea – has bushwalking, beaches and a bustling weekend market. Historic Forth, situated by the river, offers a welcoming and safe village lifestyle in a rural setting. And the quiet and cosy communities such as Leith and Turners Beach – ‘from the lookout to the sea' – provide a safe and peaceful place for people to call home.
Central Coast caters for everyone from families, foodies and hobby farmers to sea changers and tree-changers. This is evident in the uniquely diverse communities found throughout our municipal area.
