Sulphur Creek is a locality and small rural community in the local government area of Central Coast, in the North West region of Tasmania. It is located about south-east of the town of Burnie. Bass Strait forms the northern boundary of the locality. The 2021 census determined a population of 631 for the state suburb of Sulphur Creek.[1]
A watercourse named Sulphur Creek flows through the locality to Bass Strait.[2] It is likely that the locality was named for the creek, which is believed to have been so named due to a sulphur-like smell in the area when first explored by Europeans.[3]
The C118 route (Nine Mile Road) intersects with the Bass Highway at the north-western extremity of the locality, from where it runs south through Howth before passing through the locality and providing access to many others.[4]
