C832 is a mostly unsealed route in rural north eastern Tasmania, running north-east from Scottsdale towards the seaside villages on Bass Strait. The name 'Old Waterhouse Road' indicates that it was once the main route to this area of the north-east coast, however most traffic now follows the sealed route via Bridport.
Commencing in Scottsdale, C832 runs northeast through fertile agricultural land as a narrow, but sealed, road towards North Scottsdale. Leaving the farmland for the forest, C832 loses its sealed pavement, turns north and becomes a rather sandy unsealed route through state forests.
A short unsigned duplex with C831 is located along an approximately 30m long section of North Scottsdale Rd, 5km east of Scottsdale.
