Elizabeth Town is a populated rural area in Meander Valley, Tasmania bisected by the Bass Highway, midway between Devonport and Launceston.

[3] Land grants began in the area from the 1820s,[2] and later a town was laid out based on 10 acres (4.0 ha) allotments.

Until the 1970s, when some land was further subdivided on the east side of what is now the Bass Highway, the town area had only three houses and had not become a population centre.

[6] The Tasmanian Archdiocese extended Roman Catholic services to cover Elizabeth Town in 1924.

It was a contemporary style 45-by-20-foot (13.7 by 6.1 m) brick building with a tiled roof, concrete slab foundation, Tasmanian hardwood ceiling and coloured leadlight windows.
