About Lulworth
Lulworth is a small rural residential locality on the north coast of Tasmania, situated within the George Town Council local government area in the Launceston region. Located approximately 58 kilometres north of Launceston, the locality sits on the Tam O'Shanter Road (C817 route) and is bounded to the north by the waters of Bass Strait, giving it a distinctly coastal, end-of-road character. With a 2021 Census population of 157 spread across 5.59 square kilometres, Lulworth is a genuinely remote community with a small, permanent residential population.
Lulworth's north-facing coastal position on Bass Strait lends it scenic appeal, and the locality is popular with those seeking a quiet, rural Tasmanian lifestyle away from urban centres. The nearby localities of Weymouth and Stony Head share the same remote coastal character. Residents rely primarily on private vehicles to access services and employment in George Town (approximately 25 kilometres south) or Launceston. The tranquil setting, rural character, and proximity to the Tasmanian coast attract a mix of retirees and sea-changers drawn to the slower pace of life in Tasmania's north.
Lulworth falls under postcode 7252 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bass (Windermere) electorate.
