Devonport is on the Mersey River on Tasmania's north-west coast and is home to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal, with the Rooke Street Mall, the paranaple arts centre and a busy port.

Source: Tasmania Police Corporate Performance Report, Annual 2025-26, total offences by police division, 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Devonport as defined by the source. Tasmania Police publishes these figures by police division, and a division covers the suburb or town centre and its neighbouring suburbs, so they are for a wider area than the page name alone. They come from Tasmania Police's monthly performance report, which it says may differ slightly from its official crime statistics. They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.
Housing stock: Post-war weatherboard and brick homes, 1970s and 1980s brick houses, units near the centre, and coastal homes

Devonport security tip
Nothing left in the car
Motor vehicle burglaries in the Devonport division rose from 48 to 120 last year. Lock the car every time, including in your own driveway, take bags, tools and phones inside, and cover the driveway with a sensor light and a camera. Travellers waiting for the ferry should keep luggage out of sight and park in lit, busy areas.
Devonport homes and what they mean for security
Devonport's streets have post-war weatherboard and brick homes and 1970s and 1980s brick houses, many with carports or open driveways, and units near the town centre. The ferry terminal and port bring travellers, vehicles and freight through the town. Coastal homes face salt air and wind, so outdoor cameras and lights should be rated for coastal conditions.
