About Grove

Grove is a rural locality in the Huon Valley Council area of Tasmania, situated approximately 35 kilometres south-west of Hobart and 7 kilometres north-east of the regional town of Huonville. With a 2021 Census population of 533, the locality forms part of the productive agricultural heartland of the Huon Valley, a region celebrated for its apple and pear orchards, berry farms, and cool-climate produce. The median household income is modest and consistent with the largely rural and agricultural character of the area.

Grove sits within one of Australia's most picturesque rural landscapes, surrounded by rolling farmland, orchards, and the forested hills of the Huon Valley. The nearby town of Huonville — around 7 kilometres south-west — provides supermarkets, schools, and health services, while Hobart is accessible within 35–45 minutes by car. The broader Huon Valley region is popular with visitors for the Tahune AirWalk, cider and wine trails, and waterfront towns along the Huon River. Grove appeals particularly to hobby farmers, tree-changers, and those seeking a peaceful Tasmanian lifestyle within practical distance of Hobart.

Grove falls under postcode 7109 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Derwent) electorate.
