About Devon Hills
Devon Hills is a rural residential locality in the Northern Midlands Council area of Tasmania, situated approximately 9 kilometres north-east of the historic town of Longford and around 30 kilometres south of Launceston. The locality spans 4.5 square kilometres and recorded a population of 434 in the 2021 Census, with a median household income of approximately $48,280. Devon Hills is characterised by a mix of rural properties and quiet residential acreage, set within the rolling agricultural landscapes of Tasmania's Central Midlands region.
The Midland Highway (National Route 1), Tasmania's main north–south artery, provides convenient road access to Launceston and Hobart from Devon Hills, making it a practical base for those who work in the region. The Western Railway Line runs along the locality's southern boundary, though there is no passenger station in the area. For residents, Longford and Launceston are the go-to destinations for schools, shopping, and services, and a car is essential for daily life in this peaceful semi-rural setting.
Devon Hills falls under postcode 7300 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (McIntyre) electorate.
