Overview

Latrobe lies on the Mersey River, just 8 km south‑east of Devonport along the Bass Highway, giving residents easy road access to the north‑west coast. The town’s population grew from 2,843 in 2006 to 4,169 by the 2016 census, reflecting a vibrant community that enjoys both river‑side charm and convenient links to larger centres.

Local life centres on a bustling main street where Supa IGA, cafés, hotels and a Belgian‑style chocolate factory sit alongside heritage buildings such as the old courthouse‑turned museum and the Australian Axemen Hall of Fame. Residents benefit from a 100‑bed Mersey Community Hospital, a range of schools (Latrobe Primary, Latrobe High, St Patrick’s Catholic and Geneva Christian College) and diverse sporting venues from the recreation ground to a clay speedway. Heritage homes line Hamilton and Gilbert Streets, offering a mix of historic and contemporary housing within a well‑served, close‑knit suburb.
