Westwood is a rural locality in the local government area of Meander Valley in the Launceston region of Tasmania. It is located about south-west of the town of Launceston. The 2016 census determined a population of 63 for the state suburb of Westwood.[1]
The area was originally known as Summershall. Westwood was gazetted as a locality in 1968.[2]
The Meander River forms the south-western and southern boundaries, while the South Esk River forms most of the eastern boundary.
The C732 route (Bridgenorth Road / Westwood Road) enters from the north and exits to the south-west. The C738 route (a continuation of Westwood Road) starts at an intersection with C732 and runs to the south-east before exiting.[2] [3]
