Gagebrook is a residential locality in the local government area (LGA) of Brighton in the Hobart LGA region of Tasmania, Australia. The locality is about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south of the town of Brighton. The 2016 census recorded a population of 1440 for the state suburb of Gagebrook.[1] It is one of the northernmost suburbs of Hobart, located near the eastern shore of the Derwent River between the suburbs of Bridgewater and Old Beach.
Gagebrook was gazetted as a locality in 1977.[2] The suburb, like its adjacent suburb of Bridgewater (also built up of mass-public housing in the 1970s) has a reputation as a lower socio-economic area.[3][4][5] Like the rest of Hobart's public housing suburbs, many public housing stock have been sold privately.
Gagebrook has two primary schools: Herdman's Cove Primary School and Gagebrook Primary School[6] (both public).
Geographyedit
The Jordan River forms the western and north-western boundaries.[7]
Road infrastructureedit
Route B32 (East Derwent Highway) passes to the south. From there, Gage Road and Tottenham Road provide access to the locality.[2][8]
