Bridgenorth is a locality and small rural community in the local government area of West Tamar, in the Western Tamar Valley region of Tasmania. It is located about north-west of the town of Launceston. A small part of the locality, about 4.5%, is in the Meander Valley Council area. The 2016 census determined a population of 373 for the state suburb of Bridgenorth.[1]
The locality is believed to be named for Bridgnorth, a town in England. The name was assigned in 1999 and the boundary with Notley Hills was adjusted in 2006.[2]
The C732 route (Bridgenorth Road) runs from the West Tamar Highway, passing through the locality from east to west and providing access to many other localities.[3]
