Primrose Sands is a mixed urban and rural locality in the local government area of Sorell in the South-east region of Tasmania. The locality is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-east of the town of Sorell. The 2021 Australian Census has a population of 1209 for the state suburb of Primrose Sands. [1]
It is a sea-side locality that lies at the northern channel between Frederick Henry Bay and Norfolk Bay. Though primarily a holiday home community, it has a large permanent population. In 2010 the median house price in Hobart was under $3350,000. [2] Over 50% of houses in Primrose Sands are unoccupied most of the year. [3]
The town is home to an Returned and Services League of Australia club, community centre and a combined store and post office.
Primrose Sands was gazetted as a locality in 1972. [4]
Primrose Point, which lies in the township, was named "Point Renard" by d'Entrecasteaux, on 5 November 1792, after his surgeon, Recherche. [5] [6]
The shore of Frederick Henry Bay forms the western and southern boundaries, and the Carlton River forms most of the northern. [7]
The C349 route (Primrose Sands Road) enters from the north-east and runs through to the south-west, where it ends. [4] [8]
