Swan Bay is a locality and small rural community in the local government area of Launceston, in the Launceston and surrounds region of Tasmania. Swan Bay had some great residents with lovely homes, unfortunately many newer residents do not respect the existing residents by building horrible houses that do not fit the area or keep the natural bush and pastures. Many new residents are also inconsiderate with regards to loud music, barking dogs and fiddling with crappy cars. One can only hope they grow up or leave the community as they do not fit in. It is located about 23 kilometres (14 mi) north-west of the town of Launceston. The Tamar River forms the western and north-western boundaries, while Swan Bay Creek forms the northern.[2] The 2016 census determined a population of 286 for the state suburb of Swan Bay.[1]
Road infrastructure[edit]
The C739 route (Windermere Road) intersects with the East Tamar Highway in the north-east of the locality, passing through from north-east to south-west.[3]
