About Apslawn
Apslawn is a remote rural locality on the east coast of Tasmania, situated in the Glamorgan Spring Bay municipal area approximately 50 kilometres north of Swansea. Spanning over 76 square kilometres, the locality has a population of just 15 residents, making it one of Tasmania's most sparsely populated areas. The landscape is defined by sweeping coastal farmland, granite outcrops, and proximity to the Tasman Sea. The area falls within the federal electorate of Lyons and the state electorate of Lyons (Prosser).
Life in Apslawn is quintessentially Tasmanian – deeply rural, unhurried, and connected to the land and sea. The locality is surrounded by the natural beauty of Tasmania's east coast, with Freycinet National Park and the famous Wineglass Bay just a short drive to the north. The nearest township of Swansea provides basic services including a supermarket, medical centre, and schools. Apslawn suits those seeking an off-the-beaten-path lifestyle with fresh air, coastal scenery, and a genuine connection to agricultural heritage.
Apslawn falls under postcode 7190 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Prosser) electorate.
