About Pipers Brook
Pipers Brook is a rural locality in northern Tasmania, situated approximately 50 kilometres north of Launceston and around 36 kilometres south of George Town, spanning the local government areas of Launceston, Dorset and George Town. With a population of 109 at the 2021 Census spread across more than 93 square kilometres, the locality is sparsely settled and predominantly agricultural. Pipers Brook sits within one of Tasmania's most celebrated cool-climate wine regions, where marine-influenced air and rich volcanic basalt soils produce exceptional conditions for viticulture.
The area is internationally recognised for its world-class wines, with Pipers Brook Vineyard — a modern pioneer of the Tasmanian wine industry established in 1974 by Dr Andrew Pirie — as its most famous estate, alongside other celebrated producers such as Delamere, Jansz and Dalrymple. The region is particularly renowned for premium sparkling wines, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Metro Tasmania bus services connect Pipers Brook to Launceston (approximately 59 minutes), though the area is predominantly accessed by car, with visitors and residents drawn by the cellar doors, scenic countryside and cool-climate produce.
Pipers Brook falls under postcode 7254 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bass (Windermere) electorate.
