About Claremont
Claremont is a riverside suburb and rural locality in southern Tasmania, situated along the western shore of the Derwent River within the Derwent Valley Municipality and forming part of the Greater Hobart metropolitan area. Approximately 12 kilometres north-west of Hobart's CBD, the suburb has a population of around 8,397 and sits at an elevation of 88 metres across a relatively large area of nearly 18 square kilometres. Median household incomes of around $1,241 per week reflect its working-class and mixed demographic character, with housing considerably more affordable than inner Hobart suburbs.
Claremont is home to Elwick Racecourse, a prominent venue on Tasmania's thoroughbred racing calendar, and is well-connected to central Hobart and regional centres via the Brooker Highway. Local schools, shops, and the nearby Glenorchy commercial precinct provide residents with everyday amenities, while the Derwent River frontage offers scenic walking and cycling routes. The suburb appeals to families, retirees, and first-home buyers looking for a quiet riverside setting with practical access to Hobart, and has a notably strong sense of community shaped over many decades of established residential life.
Claremont falls under postcode 7011 and is governed by Derwent Valley Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Clark (Derwent) electorate.
