About Tugrah

Tugrah is a rural locality within the City of Devonport, situated approximately 4 kilometres south-west of Devonport's town centre in north-west Tasmania. Part of the broader Devonport suburban area, Tugrah covers around 5.65 square kilometres and recorded a population of 470 at the 2021 Census. The median household income is below the Tasmanian average, reflecting the working-class and semi-rural character typical of Devonport's outer localities. The name Tugrah is believed to derive from an Aboriginal Tasmanian word meaning 'to eat'.

Residents are within easy reach of central Devonport's shopping centres, schools, and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal, which provides regular services to Melbourne. The surrounding area offers a relaxed, community-oriented lifestyle with access to both the Bass Strait coastline and the agricultural landscapes of Tasmania's north-west.
