Security Services in Hobart CBD
The Hobart CBD sits on the Derwent estuary below kunanyi/Mount Wellington, taking in the Elizabeth Street Mall, Salamanca Place, Constitution Dock and the waterfront, the Royal Hobart Hospital and a growing University of Tasmania presence in the city. Tasmania Police recorded 5,159 offences in the Hobart police division, which covers the CBD and inner suburbs such as Sandy Bay, Battery Point and North Hobart, in 2025-26, up from 4,885 the year before. Most were property offences (4,086), including 466 property damage offences, 297 burglaries of motor vehicles and 234 stolen vehicles, and there were 833 offences against the person.
Source: Tasmania Police Corporate Performance Report, Annual 2025-26, total offences by police division, 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Hobart CBD 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: Apartments and converted warehouses in the city, Georgian and Victorian cottages and terraces in Battery Point and North Hobart, and older houses on the hillsides

Hobart CBD security tip
Leave nothing in the car overnight
The Hobart division recorded 297 motor vehicle burglaries last year, where someone breaks into a car to take what's inside. In the city and inner suburbs many cars are parked on the street overnight. Take bags, laptops and tools out of the car, leave nothing on show, lock it every time, and if you have off-street parking, cover it with a sensor light and a camera that records clearly at night.
Hobart CBD homes and what they mean for security
Central Hobart mixes offices, shops and hospitality with apartments and converted warehouses, while Battery Point, North Hobart and West Hobart have Georgian and Victorian cottages and terraces, many heritage-listed, on narrow streets with little off-street parking. Older homes have timber sash windows and original doors that need keyed locks, and heritage rules can limit what can be fitted to the front of a building, so discreet cameras and internal alarms are often the practical choice.
