About Yolla
Yolla is a small rural community in north-western Tasmania, situated on the Murchison Highway approximately 20 kilometres south of the coastal towns of Wynyard and Burnie. Administered by Waratah-Wynyard Council, the locality covers around 32 square kilometres of fertile tableland that has historically supported dairy farming. With a 2021 Census population of 286, Yolla is an intimate agricultural settlement that retains a tight-knit community character typical of Tasmania's farming hinterland.
The surrounding countryside is characterised by rich dairy pastures, rolling green hills, and pockets of native vegetation that make the area visually striking. Residents rely on the nearby towns of Wynyard and Burnie for most services, schools, and employment, with Burnie — a regional centre on the Bass Strait coast — offering a hospital, university campus, and full retail facilities. The lifestyle here is distinctly rural: quiet, affordable, and suited to those who value wide open spaces, clean air, and a genuine farming community.
Yolla falls under postcode 7325 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Braddon (Murchison) electorate.
