Source: Tasmania Police Corporate Performance Report, Annual 2025-26, total offences by police division, 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Burnie 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: Post-war weatherboard and brick homes on the hillsides, 1970s and 1980s brick houses, and units near the city centre

Burnie security tip
Lighting and cameras to deter damage
Property damage was one of the largest offence groups in the Burnie division last year, with 353 offences. Good lighting at the front and along the side of the house, a solid fence with a lockable gate, and a camera covering the driveway and the street make damage harder to do unseen and help identify who did it. Report every incident, even minor ones.
Burnie homes and what they mean for security
Burnie is built on hills rising from Emu Bay, and many post-war weatherboard and brick homes sit on steep blocks where back doors, windows and yards can't be seen from the street. Units and flats are clustered near the city centre and the waterfront. Port, mining and forestry businesses need yard security, and coastal weather means outdoor cameras and lights should be rated for salt air.
