Devonport wins silver in the Australian Tourism Awards in Canberra

This morning, I had the privilege of joining representatives at Parliament House in Canberra from the Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania, Tourism Australia and Local Government representatives at the Australian Tourism Awards in Canberra, where two towns in Braddon were nominated.

Devonport won silver in the Australia's Top Tourism Town of 2025.

Stanley was also nominated in the Australia’s Top Tiny Tourism Town Award category.

Quotes attributable to Anne Urquhart MP, Federal Member for Braddon:

“In recent years, Devonport has gone from strength to strength, it not only welcomes visitors off the Spirit of Tasmania but also provides visitors with a plethora of things to see and do.

From the reopening of the Tiagarra Cultural Centre, the development of the Bass Strait Maritime Centre, and the from Sky to Sea Light Show, Devonport really is punching above its weight.”

“With almost 150 towns from across Australia nominated, this win is a true testament to the region that we live in, and why tourists are drawn to our region.”
