Question 1

Is Carrick a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Carrick is a small historic rural village in northern Tasmania's Meander Valley, set among rolling pasture and pockets of native bush. Streets of period cottages and weatherboard homes lead out to larger farms and hobby properties, and the area suits people after acreage, equestrian pursuits or a quiet base within easy driving of Launceston and regional services. Local facilities are modest and community focused, while the surrounding countryside provides bushwalking, markets and scenic drives.

About 721 people live in Carrick, with a median age of 39 and a typical household income of $1,701 a week (roughly $88,452 a year). Families make up the bulk of households, with couple families (with and without children) forming 86.4% of all families, and homes are mostly owner-occupied (84.4%). There is a new vocational project at Quercus Park, the Earthworks Academy, and the council has exhibited a draft 20-year structure plan that identifies future village growth areas along with road, pathway and gateway concepts.
