About Cornwall
Cornwall is a small rural locality in north-east Tasmania, located within the local government area of Break O'Day Council. It lies approximately 7 kilometres north-west of the town of St Marys, and about 130 kilometres east of Launceston. Completely surrounded by the neighbouring locality of St Marys, Cornwall is a compact area of 5.4 square kilometres with a 2021 Census population of 82 residents. The locality sits within a quiet agricultural and bushland landscape typical of the island state's east coast hinterland.
Cornwall is accessed via Cornwall Road, which branches from the Esk Main Road (Route A4) that connects the region with Launceston to the west and St Helens to the north-east. The locality itself is primarily used for farming and rural residential purposes, with residents relying on St Marys for day-to-day needs including shops, schools, and community services. The broader St Marys area is known for its heritage streetscapes, access to Mount Nicholas and the Break O'Day walking trails, and a strong sense of rural Tasmanian community. Hobart lies approximately 165 kilometres to the south, accessible via the Midland Highway through the state's interior.
Cornwall falls under postcode 7215 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Prosser) electorate.
