Overview

Forth is a small village in north‑west Tasmania set on the Forth River, just 11 km west of Devonport and 110 km north‑west of Launceston via the Bass Highway. The settlement lies mainly within the Central Coast Council, with just under a quarter of its area falling under the City of Devonport. A notable local amenity is the Forthside Dairy Research Facility, operated by the Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research, which adds a rural‑science character to the community.

Residents enjoy easy access to several nearby green spaces, including Fulton Park, Champion Park and the riverfront at Forth Weir. Heritage listings such as Arniston, Ochill Manor and The Grange reflect the village’s early colonial roots. The proximity to the Bass Highway provides straightforward road links to Devonport’s services and to Launceston, while the housing stock blends traditional village homes with newer dwellings that benefit from the close‑by urban centre.
