Suburb profile
Highclere is a residential smaller community in Burnie with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with family life visible on every street.
The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Homes are relatively affordable, which helps families and first-time residents put down roots.
