Investment Signal

Top capital growth suburb in all of Tasmania at +14.9% (Cotality). Burnie's highest-performing precinct. 5% yield is below threshold but included for price momentum + Burnie 0.5% vacancy halo.

Risk / Warning

Very small population (~3,000) — liquidity shallow; below 5.5% yield threshold (5.0%); price already moving fast

Budget Policy Impact

Near-positive at 5%. Low NG dependence. Budget changes minimal impact on this small TAS suburb. CGT indexation acceptable for long-hold buyers in a supply-constrained market.
