Huntingfield is a suburb of the greater Hobart area, capital of Tasmania, Australia. It is just south of Kingston. The area was created in the late 1980s. Located in Huntingfield are Tarremah Steiner School and Kingborough Family Church.
Huntingfield from its inception was designed to be a "Showpiece of Tasmania" (reference from original design concept in the 1980's) - and was designed to not be a "suburb of little boxes" (citation original brochures from the design brief).
Huntingfield quickly won an award for its beautiful design and excellent use of curving streets and open grassy areas.
Huntingfield was designed to be a "Garden Concept" suburb, with visual beauty being at the forefront of design (citation - see original concept plans). Homes in Huntingfield were to be of different materials so as to create a mix of beauty and to avoid the "little boxes next to each other" that some other suburbs suffer from.
There are strict design parameters for homes in Huntingfield (citation - see original design brochures/plans/rules).
