About City of Burnie
With a population of approx. 20,000, Burnie is located on the North-West Coast of Tasmania and is a diverse and attractive city that celebrates its industrial past and embraces its creative future. Our past has given us the wisdom to help us develop our preferred future. Burnie has been a regional centre for education, health, retail, arts and culture and we want to enhance this role.
Burnie is positioned between the sparkling blue seas of Bass Strait and the bush and forests of the hinterland. The clean beaches form a central part of the Burnie coastal lifestyle and community groups work together to protect and care for flora and fauna that also call Burnie home.
