Blocks don't get much more central than this! Positioned right in the heart of Derby, just behind the popular 3 Doors Down Cafe, this 687m² parcel of land presents an exciting opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Tasmania's most recognised adventure tourism destinations.

Whether you're looking to develop boutique visitor accommodation, create a mountain bike focused venture, establish a niche tourism business or explore another development concept, this is a location that deserves your attention.

A TOWN WITH MOMENTUM
Derby has undergone an extraordinary transformation over the years. Once a thriving tin mining town, Derby was home to one of the world's largest and richest tin mines, with the Briseis Mine bringing people, industry and opportunity to the region during its heyday.

Following the closure of the mine and a quieter period for the township, Derby has reinvented itself, becoming an internationally recognised mountain biking destination.

The launch of the Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trail Network in 2015 changed the future of the town, attracting riders and visitors from across Australia and around the world. Today, the network boasts more than 125 kilometres of purpose-built trails, winding through spectacular temperate rainforest, towering ferns and beautiful natural landscapes.

The success of Blue Derby is significant, with more than 45,000 mountain bike visitors each year and an estimated $50.9 million in direct annual visitor expenditure. Derby is no longer just a stop along the way; it is a destination in its own right.

MORE THAN JUST MOUNTAIN BIKING
While the trails are undoubtedly the main attraction, Derby offers a wonderful range of experiences that keep visitors coming back.

From exploring the historic Derby Tunnel and discovering the town's fascinating mining history at the Schoolhouse Museum, to relaxing at the floating sauna on Lake Derby, there is plenty to enjoy beyond the bike trails.

Visitors can enjoy local cafes, restaurants, boutique accommodation, bike hire and shuttle services, while the surrounding region offers further adventures including Little Blue Lake, the historic Mount Paris Dam, fishing, walking trails and the beautiful Weldborough and Blue Tier region.

It is this combination of adventure, history, nature and country charm that makes Derby such a unique destination.


THE OPPORTUNITY
With its central position, generous 687m² footprint and proximity to the town's hospitality and tourism offerings, 7 Christopher Street provides an exciting blank canvas for someone with vision.

As Derby continues to attract domestic and international visitors, opportunities exist for creative development concepts that complement the town's growing tourism industry.

Think purpose-built mountain bike accommodation, a boutique visitor offering, a niche retail or service venture, or perhaps something entirely different.

The possibilities are exciting, and the location puts you right amongst the action.

A rare opportunity to secure a central piece of Derby and become part of a town with an extraordinary story and an exciting future.

Bring your vision, explore the possibilities and make your mark in Derby!
