Overview

Stony Rise sits just 4 km south of Devonport in Tasmania’s north‑west, offering a quiet, rural‑residential atmosphere while remaining only a short drive from the city’s services. The 2021 census recorded 728 residents, and the suburb’s housing is a blend of low‑density homes and a few local businesses lining the Bass Highway and Stony Rise Road, giving the area a relaxed, community‑focused feel. Families benefit from nearby education options such as Miandetta Primary School (1.6 km), Devonport Christian School (1.7 km) and Reece High School (1.9 km), and several parks, including Maidstone, Wiena and Mersey Lions, provide open space for recreation.

Transport links are straightforward: National Route 1 (Bass Highway) skirts the north‑west corner, while the Western railway line runs through the suburb, connecting residents to broader rail services. The Don River shapes the western boundary, adding natural scenery, and a rifle range on Stony Rise Road adds a niche sporting facility. A short drive also brings you to the Stony Rise Cottage B&B and the Valley Road football ground, rounding out a lifestyle that balances country peace with easy city access.
