Riding on the back of a buoyant economy, the City of Devonport is abuzz with new opportunities and developers are being encouraged to take a fresh look at the City with Spirit.

Industry has never been stronger in the region, and neither has employment.  Increasing numbers of interstate investors are also recognising the region's potential.

Devonport's industry is focussed on a number of key sectors comprising retail trade, manufacturing, health & community services, property & business services and education.  Given Devonport's geographical location and natural resources, other important sectors are agriculture, transport & logistics and tourism.

Manufacturing businesses in the Devonport area are involved in a wide range of manufacturing activities such as food, beverage and tobacco; textile, clothing and footwear; metal products, machinery and equipment; and wood and paper products.

The Port is Devonport's most important economic asset as it provides one of Tasmania's key gateways for imports, exports and tourism.
