About Huntingfield
Huntingfield is a quiet residential suburb in the Kingborough Council area of southern Tasmania, situated approximately 3 kilometres south-west of Kingston and around 12 kilometres south of the Hobart CBD. The suburb was developed from the late 1980s onwards, transitioning from a predominantly agricultural area to a suburban locality following the completion of the Southern Outlet road. At the 2021 census Huntingfield had a population of 540, making it a small but established community nestled among the rolling hills south of Hobart. The area borders Blackmans Bay and Kingston, forming part of Hobart's growing southern corridor.
Huntingfield is a family-friendly suburb best known for being home to Tarremah Steiner School and St Aloysius Catholic College, giving it a strong educational identity. In 2017 its properties were among the fastest-selling in Australia, reflecting strong demand for affordable homes within reach of Hobart's amenities. The surrounding natural environment—including proximity to Kingston Beach and the Channel Highway—provides residents with easy access to coastal recreation and scenic countryside drives. A community-oriented spirit characterises the suburb, with Kingborough Family Church also based locally.
Huntingfield falls under postcode 7055 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Franklin (Huon) electorate.
