About Acacia Hills
Acacia Hills is a small rural locality in Tasmania's North West region, situated approximately 16 kilometres south of Devonport within the Kentish Council area. The locality covers around 19 square kilometres of predominantly agricultural land and recorded a population of 729 at the 2021 Census. With a median household income of approximately $37,433, Acacia Hills reflects the modest economic character typical of rural inland Tasmania, where farming and primary industries underpin the local way of life.
The locality is bounded to the south-west and west by the Don River, and the Bonneys Tier Forest Reserve occupies part of its south-eastern corner, adding a touch of native bushland to the largely pastoral landscape. Sheffield Road (B14) passes through the locality, linking residents northward to Devonport and its hospitals, shops, and port, and southward toward the scenic Sheffield and Mt Roland areas. Acacia Hills appeals to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle in North West Tasmania, with the services and amenities of Devonport within a short drive.
Acacia Hills falls under postcode 7306 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Montgomery) electorate.
