About Ocean Vista

Ocean Vista is a small coastal residential locality situated approximately 6 kilometres west of Burnie in north-west Tasmania, within the Burnie City Council area. Despite its compact size of under 1 square kilometre, the locality is home to around 322 residents, giving it a relatively dense character for a rural Tasmanian community. The area is positioned along the Bass Highway between Burnie and Wynyard, and as its name suggests, it is celebrated for its elevated outlooks over Bass Strait and the surrounding coastline.

Ocean Vista's appeal lies in its coastal setting and tranquil atmosphere, with easy access to Burnie's full range of services including shopping, schools, hospitals, and the port. The nearby Emu Bay beach and coastal walking opportunities add to the lifestyle appeal of the area. Residents enjoy the best of both worlds — a peaceful seaside environment with the convenience of a regional city just a short drive away — making it popular with retirees, families, and those working in Burnie who prefer a quieter home base.

Ocean Vista falls under postcode 7320 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Braddon (Murchison) electorate.
