Around 40 Pacific seasonal workers who were allegedly living in the same property in Tasmania's north-west have been offered other accommodation after the local council issued an emergency order over their welfare.

The Latrobe Council issued the order over the Shearwater property late last week, alleging there was a "significant and obvious risk" to the health and safety of dozens of seasonal workers living there.
