About Riana
Riana is a small rural locality in the North West region of Tasmania, situated south-west of the Dial Range approximately 13 kilometres west of the coastal town of Penguin and around 50 kilometres south-west of Devonport. With a population of 313, the community falls within the Central Coast Council area and covers nearly 58 square kilometres of productive agricultural and forested land. The locality sits in a fertile highland setting characterised by dairy farms and mixed agriculture typical of north-west Tasmania.
Riana has a strong agricultural identity, with dairy farming being the backbone of the local economy; the area has historically supplied milk to major Tasmanian processors. Residents rely on nearby Penguin for most day-to-day services, shopping, and schooling, with Devonport accessible for broader health and retail needs. The surrounding Dial Range provides stunning bushwalking and mountain-bike riding opportunities, while the North West coast's beaches and the Leven Canyon reserve are within easy reach for outdoor enthusiasts.
Riana falls under postcode 7316 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Braddon (Montgomery) electorate.
