This investment supports teacher recruitment and retention opportunities in regional and remote communities.
Local building contractor Bishop Constructions will deliver the works, which will provide teachers with four modern, fit-for-purpose residences on Massey Street, Smithton.
Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said the new residences are part of the Tasmanian Government's $15 million Teacher Residences Program.
"Our teachers are at the heart of every classroom, and making sure they have access to quality housing is a practical way we can attract more teachers to our regional and remote areas, while supporting them to stay long-term," Minister Palmer.
"We know students thrive when their teachers feel confident, supported and ready for the classroom.
"Our Government is delivering for Tasmanians by strengthening teacher recruitment and retention and lifting literacy outcomes for students across the State."
The Teacher Residences Program has also delivered the refurbishment of 21 existing teacher residences at Queenstown earlier this year.
Refurbishments to two teacher residences on King Island have also recently been delivered through a separate funding source.
Additional new teacher residences will be constructed at Queenstown, Scottsdale and on Flinders Island, with planning work for new residences on Flinders Island now underway
