Settlement within East Devonport dates from the 1850s when the area east of the Mersey River became known as Torquay. Growth within the area started taking place from the late 1800s and continued into the early 1900s. Victoria Bridge opened in 1901, further linking the area to the township on the western side of the Mersey River. The area east of the Mersey River then became known as East Devonport.Today, East Devonport is a combination of residential, industrial and rural areas, with some commercial land use. Rural land is used largely for agriculture. Devonport Port is situated in East Devonport and is home of the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Terminal. Other features of the area include East Devonport Recreation Centre, Mersey Yacht Club, East Devonport Beach and East Devonport Beach Coastal Reserve. There are many reserves to explore and the Eastern Foreshore Heritage Walk is not to be missed. As part of Devonport City, there are endless events and attractions to be explored.Tourist/Visitor Information Centre        Paranaple Arts Centre, 145 Rooke St, DevonportPh: 03 6420 2900www.visitdevonport.com.au.Casual Parking       Murray St, East Devonport Parking 300m east of Ferry TerminalShort Term Parking           Girdlestone Park, John St East Devonport self-contained vehicles only, $10 pvpn permit required, 72hrs, pets on lead, mobile coverage, bins, toilets, waterDump Point  Girdlestone Park, John St East Devonport Lat: -41.1864 Long: 146.3802Potable Water          Girdlestone Park, John St East DevonportHospital        Nearest hospital is at Latrobe, Torquay Rd, Ph: 03 6426 5111Doctors Surgery     East Devonport Medical Centre, Stephen St, Ph: 03 6427 9111Dentist           Many in areaPharmacy     Please do own local search as too many to listSupermarket            Foodworks, Tarleton St, IGA, Wright St
