About Chasm Creek
Chasm Creek is a small locality on the northwest coast of Tasmania, situated between Burnie and Wynyard in the Waratah-Wynyard Council area. Covering just 1.4 square kilometres, it is a pocket of residential and semi-rural land along the Bass Highway corridor. The locality sits on the rugged coastline where creeks have carved steep-sided gullies — or chasms — into the coastal cliffs, giving the area its distinctive name.
Chasm Creek offers a quiet lifestyle on Tasmania's scenic northwest coast, with dramatic coastal views and proximity to both Wynyard and Burnie. The area is flanked by farmland and coastal bushland, with residents enjoying the relaxed pace of regional Tasmania. Local amenities are found in nearby Wynyard (5 km) or Burnie (15 km), both offering shopping, schools, and services. The northwest coast attracts retirees and families drawn to the affordable housing, clean air, and proximity to attractions like Table Cape and the Tulip Festival.
Chasm Creek falls under postcode 7321 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Montgomery) electorate.
