Source: Tasmania Police Corporate Performance Report, Annual 2025-26, total offences by police division, 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Bridgewater as defined by the source. Tasmania Police publishes these figures by police division, and a division covers the suburb or town centre and its neighbouring suburbs, so they are for a wider area than the page name alone. They come from Tasmania Police's monthly performance report, which it says may differ slightly from its official crime statistics. They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.
Housing stock: Former housing department homes from the 1970s and 1980s, newer brick estates, and rural-residential blocks

Bridgewater security tip
Fence, light and a camera on the street
Property damage was one of the larger offence groups in the Bridgewater division last year, with 421 offences. A sturdy fence and lockable side gate, sensor lighting at the front and along the side of the house, and a camera covering the driveway and the street make damage harder to do unseen and help identify who did it. Report every incident so police can see patterns.
Bridgewater homes and what they mean for security
Much of Bridgewater and neighbouring Gagebrook was built as housing department estates in the 1970s and 1980s, and many homes are still public or social housing, so renters may need approval for fixed security changes. Newer brick estates have been added as Brighton has grown, and rural-residential blocks on the edges have sheds and long driveways. Battery-powered cameras and removable alarms suit renters.
