About Lileah

Lileah is a rural locality in the Circular Head Council area of north-west Tasmania, situated approximately 17 kilometres south of Smithton — the main service town for the Circular Head district. With a 2021 Census population of 79 residents spread across a large area of 111 square kilometres, Lileah is one of the more sparsely settled localities in the region. The median individual income in the postcode area is approximately 4,058, consistent with the mixed agricultural and regional character of north-west Tasmania. The locality sits within the broader Braddon federal electorate, encompassing much of Tasmania's resource-rich and agricultural north-west.

The Lileah area is embedded in Circular Head's renowned agricultural landscape, which is home to some of Tasmania's most productive dairy and cropping farms — including potato, pea, wheat, and poppy growing alongside beef and dairy enterprises. Circular Head is Tasmania's largest dairy region, and the farms around Lileah contribute to this identity, with land capability surveys highlighting the area's high-quality agricultural soils. Smithton, the nearest town, offers a supermarket, schools, medical facilities, and community services. For those drawn to a deeply rural, working-farming lifestyle in one of Tasmania's most productive and scenic agricultural districts, Lileah provides a genuinely remote and rewarding setting.
