Newstead is a residential locality in the local government area (LGA) of Launceston in the Launceston LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of the town of Launceston. The 2016 census recorded a population of 5366 for the state suburb of Newstead.[1] It is an inner suburb of the city of Launceston, located approximately 3 kilometres east of the central business district. Schools in the area include Newstead College, Scotch Oakburn junior school, Newstead Christian School and the Launceston Preparatory School.
The suburb took its name from "Newstead House", built in the vicinity in 1855 by Ronald Campbell Gunn. In 1919 it was renamed "Kawallah" but this was not supported by local residents and the area was unofficially known as Newstead until it became official in 1961.[3]
Route A3 (Elphin Road / Hoblers Bridge Road) runs through from north-west to east.[2][5]
