B36 Domain Hwy is a short link between the Brooker Hwy (NH1) and Tasman Bridge, allowing through traffic between northern Hobart and Tasman Bridge to bypass the northern part of Hobart CBD. Construction of Bowen Bridge in the 1980s afforded traffic some relief to this route, as previously it was the only link to the northern suburbs east of Bridgewater.

Grade-separated at both terminii, the route is a mostly two-lane, single undivided carriageway with a curving alignment as it hugs Cornelian Bay and the Queens Domain.
