About Glenora

Glenora is a rural locality in the Derwent Valley municipality of southern Tasmania, situated approximately 20 kilometres north-west of New Norfolk and around 55 kilometres from Hobart. With a 2021 Census population of 93 residents across 18.2 square kilometres, it is a small agricultural community set in the scenic upper Derwent Valley. The postcode median taxable income of $43,531 reflects the modest rural economy of the area.

The locality is home to Glenora District School, a small rural school serving the surrounding farming community in the upper Derwent Valley. The region's fertile land supports a mix of agricultural activities, and the area is known for its historic pastoral properties and picturesque valley landscapes. While the Derwent Valley Link bus service connects New Norfolk to Hobart, Glenora is not directly on the bus route, making private transport essential for residents who commute to New Norfolk or Hobart for work and services.

Glenora falls under postcode 7140 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Prosser) electorate.
