About Stieglitz
Stieglitz is a rural residential locality in north-east Tasmania, situated approximately 8 kilometres east of St Helens within the Break O'Day Council area. With a population of 595, the locality covers around 9.4 square kilometres on the shores of Georges Bay, offering a quiet coastal and rural setting. Median household income is modest at around $32,400, typical of rural Tasmanian localities, and the area is largely residential with a mix of rural properties and lifestyle blocks.
The locality's proximity to Georges Bay and the Tasman Sea provides residents with access to recreational fishing, boating, and coastal activities. St Helens — the largest town on Tasmania's east coast — is just a short drive away and offers supermarkets, schools, medical services, and a vibrant fishing and tourism industry. Stieglitz appeals to those seeking a relaxed semi-rural lifestyle on the picturesque Tasmanian east coast, close to the Bay of Fires and other natural attractions of the region.
Stieglitz falls under postcode 7216 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (McIntyre) electorate.
