Australian postcode 7140 covers a large and diverse area of Tasmania, centred on New Norfolk in the Derwent Valley, about 30–35 km north-west of Hobart, and extending through rural towns such as Hamilton, Ouse, Westerway and Maydena into the Central Highlands and wilderness areas near Mount Field and Lake St Clair. The postcode had 12,069 residents at the 2021 Census, with a median age of 42.

New Norfolk is the main service centre, offering shops, schools, healthcare and everyday services, while the smaller settlements provide a quieter lifestyle with farms, forests, rivers and mountain scenery. The economy includes agriculture, forestry, tourism and regional services, with Hobart providing access to a wider range of jobs and specialist facilities. The climate varies across this extensive area: the Derwent Valley is relatively mild, while higher and more remote locations can be much colder and wetter. A car is important outside New Norfolk, where public transport and local services become limited. For the SENA concept, postcode 7140 is a useful example of how reliable digital connectivity and locally hosted services could help dispersed communities access employment, technology and business opportunities without needing to live in a major city.
