Glenorchy has a rich indigenous heritage and has been home to the Mouheeneener Aboriginal people for over 40,000 years. Today, we have a vibrant multicultural community with people from over 100 nations throughout the world now calling our city home.

Glenorchy is home to over 20 outstanding government and non-government schools and colleges, the finest medical and aged-care facilities and many first-class sporting and recreational facilities.

 

And bringing this all together is Glenorchy’s strong sense of community.

 

We have literally dozens of active sporting clubs, service associations, community organisations and church communities, who together create a city that is inclusive, respects difference and seeks to improve the lifestyle of each of its citizens.
