City of Clarence

City of Clarence is dedicated to supporting Antarctic projects and strengthening its role within the broader Antarctic Gateway City network.
Clarence is ideally positioned to facilitate Antarctic-related activities.
Hobart International Airport, located in Cambridge, establishes Clarence as a critical gateway to southern Tasmania.

With connections via the Tasman Highway, the Derwent ferry network, and the Tasman Bridge, Clarence is an excellent location for hosting events, establishing supply centres, and other initiatives.

The city supports industries such as construction, professional, scientific and technical services, retail and wholesale trade specialising in industrial supplies, engineering and manufacturing. These sectors, concentrated in the Cambridge Industrial Precinct and Mornington Industrial Estate, benefit from Clarence’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and diverse industrial land options across developed and greenfield sites.
Clarence offers one of the largest development potentials in the Greater Hobart area, positioning it for significant future growth.

The city of Clarence is also Tasmania’s second-largest local government area by population, with approximately 63,663 residents as of June 2023. Situated on the eastern shore of the River Derwent, Clarence covers an area of 377 square kilometres with more than 191 kilometres of coastal frontage.
