About Devon North
Devon North is a small rural locality in Victoria's Gippsland region, covering approximately 64 square kilometres in the Gippsland South electoral division. With a 2021 Census population of 352 residents and a median income of around $36,000, it is among the more modest-income communities in regional Victoria, reflecting its predominantly agricultural economy of dairying, grazing, and mixed farming. The locality lies in the gentle pastoral lowlands between the Strzelecki Ranges and the South Gippsland coast.
The surrounding countryside is typical of South Gippsland — rolling green hills, farmland dotted with Friesian cattle, and wide skies stretching toward Bass Strait. Residents depend on nearby towns such as Yarram or Foster for shops, schools, and medical services, while the broader region offers outstanding natural attractions including the Ninety Mile Beach, Wilsons Promontory National Park, and the Gippsland Lakes. Devon North suits those who embrace a genuine rural lifestyle in one of Victoria's most scenic and productive farming regions.
Devon North falls under postcode 3971 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
