About Reedy Marsh

Reedy Marsh is a quiet rural locality in the Meander Valley local government area of northern Tasmania, situated approximately 23 kilometres north-west of Westbury and around 55 kilometres south-west of Launceston. With a population of 199 residents spread across 110 square kilometres, the locality has a sparse, agricultural character typical of the Tasmanian midlands.

Residents rely on nearby Deloraine or Westbury for everyday services, shopping, and schooling, with Launceston accessible for major needs. The locality appeals to those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with space and privacy, away from the pressures of urban centres, and suits small-scale farming, hobby farming, and those who value wide open spaces.
