Moonah is a central business district and a large suburb within the greater area of Hobart, Tasmania. Moonah lies in the Local government area of City of Glenorchy. It was originally land given free to settlers along the banks of the New Town Rivulet. These areas eventually became known as the suburbs of New Town and South Glenorchy, which was later changed to Moonah. As of 2001 the official population of Moonah was 5,150 and 3,883 in West Moonah making a total of 9,033.

Until Glenorchy became a city (or a shopping hub), Moonah was the main shopping district for the people of the northern suburbs of Hobart. Today it is one of the main shopping places in the City of Glenorchy area along with Glenorchy and Claremont.

It is home to the Moonah Arts Centre along with Putters Mini Golf and the Moonah Bowling Alley providing a wealth of entertainment in the area.

In May 2006, a new retail development was opened, featuring Tasmania's only Clive Peeters, Beacon Lighting and Natuzzi stores.[1]

In July 2007, a redevelopment of the Moonah Woolworths and surrounding buildings into a new shopping centre was opened.[2]
