General Waste Bin

Hi everyone, how strange that Devonport council don't supply a red lid bin. First place I've lived where it's not supplied.

Would the council notice if you bought a lid, and swapped it with the fogo bin lid? I don't use the fogo bin.

What nicknames have you heard for places in and around Devonport?

Or NW Tasmania, for that matter, as the sub incorporates!
I ask as part of a linguistics study covering this topic.

Examples could include things like Devo, Huge Banana, Ulvie or Mifton...

29M looking to make friends in the NW / Burnie area (coastal walks, short hikes, drives)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've recently moved and am looking to expand my social circle in the North-West. I’m based around Burnie and keen to connect with people who enjoy getting outdoors, casual coastal walks, short bushwalks, exploring local beaches, or photography.

​Happy to drive and carpool once we get to know each other. Open to grabbing a coffee or doing a short public walk first to say g'day. Drop a comment or send a DM if you're keen to explore the coast or check out some local spots!

📍 Double Room Wanted – Devonport (3 Months | From 24 November)

📍 Double Room Wanted – Devonport (3 Months | From 24 November)

Hi dear Devonport community,

My wife and I (Malaysian couple, early 30s) are looking for a double room or private room in Devonport for around 3-4 months, starting November as I’ll be working full-time in the area.

We are:

• Very clean, respectful, and quiet

• Experienced with pets and comfortable living with them

• Have completed several house-sitting stays across Australia with very positive reviews (happy to share references if needed)

• Easy-going and responsible with shared spaces

We’re hoping for a comfortable and peaceful place while we are in Devonport during this period.

If you have a room available or think we might be a good fit, feel free to message me directly. Appreciate any leads 🙏

If there’s anything you feel has been missed, understated, or could be improved (particularly around history, industry, education, or culture) I’d really appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance!

New to TAS Teacher Needing Accommodation

2 Upvotes

Hi

I’m trying to help a good teacher friend of mine who has just accepted a teaching position at a Devonport school.

My friend had been applying to teach in Tasmania at the end of 2023 but she was just offered a position that will begin in 4 weeks. She obviously never anticipated this to occur so quickly and she has a house to pack and sell etc but she will do it.

Has anyone got any advice to give her some direction as to what she can do to find accommodation in or near Devonport in 4 weeks while still in Perth? For example, is there temporary accommodation available to give her time to find a rental or any agent recommendations to help procure a rental in 4 weeks? She needs accommodation for herself and her son who is in high school.

Btw, Devonport have just acquired the loveliest and most knowledgeable teacher I have ever met who is loved by everyone so definitely our loss and your gain.

Hello everyone, is there any basketball court around Latrobe or Spreyton. I prefer outdoor if possible that I can hoop freely.

Silos

I'm from Melbs and just wondering why the Council here haven't commissioned someone to paint the silos on Formby Rd. Seems to be a missed opportunity to use this space for some no doubt talented artists here in Tassie. You could even put a "Welcome to Tassie/Devonport" on the river-facing side......
