Tasmania - North-East Coast

9,249 km²

Lower typical incomes for First Nations residents mark a distinct challenge in the North-East Coast of Tasmania. This vast region covers over 9,000 square kilometres and is largely car-dependent, with few homes within walking distance of essential services. It is a place where the landscape is expansive and the infrastructure is sparse. Most residents rely on vehicles to access health services and groceries, reflecting a community spread across a wide, rural area.
