About Devonport

Situated on Tasmania’s northwest coast, Devonport serves as a key coastal gateway for the state. Best known as the home port for the Spirit of Tasmania ferries, this coastal city bridges the gap between major transit hub and relaxed seaside community. Originally settled in the 1850s as two separate towns—Formby and Torquay—on opposite sides of the Mersey River, it officially united as Devonport in 1890. Today, the city relies on a balanced economy of maritime trade, agriculture, and manufacturing. For visitors and residents, Devonport offers an increasingly sophisticated lifestyle with a focus on riverfront parks, walking tracks, and a growing arts culture centered around the paranaple arts centre. The local independent retail scene is practical and diverse, driven by specialty shops and food businesses that utilize the premium produce grown in the surrounding red soils. It is a stable, community-minded city that provides a gentle introduction to the Tasmanian lifestyle.
