About Nook
Nook is a small rural locality in north-west Tasmania, situated within the Kentish Council area approximately 17 kilometres south of Devonport and 13 kilometres from the township of Sheffield. Covering around 18 square kilometres of undulating farmland at the foot of the Great Western Tiers, Nook recorded a population of 201 in the 2021 Census. The area is part of the broader agricultural region that supplies produce to north-west Tasmania, with dairy farming and beef cattle prominent in the locality.
Nook offers a genuinely rural lifestyle with easy access to the services and attractions of nearby towns. Sheffield, known as the "Town of Murals" for its extensive outdoor artwork, is just a short drive away, while Devonport — Tasmania's third-largest city and the gateway for Spirit of Tasmania ferry passengers — is within 20 minutes. Residents have access to Devonport Airport and the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park corridor. Nook is popular with those seeking a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community and the natural beauty of Tasmania's north-west close at hand.
Nook falls under postcode 7306 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Montgomery) electorate.
