Devonfield owes its foundation to our Lions Club. The highly acclaimed centre for handicapped citizens was the brainchild of several members of our Devonport Lions Club and has become the principal centre for the North West Coast of Tasmania.
Lion Doctor Fred Rose was the principle instigator and he encouraged others to join him resulting in Devonfield and the large complex it has become to provide residential living, occupational activity, education and care for a wide range of handicapped people from all parts of the NW Coast.
The Lions Club has been a continual supporter of the development with works, improvements and finance. Continued efforts with facility improvements including the swimming pool and its enclosure, the covered barbecue area, sealed road and parking area to the Dell Luck oval with landscaping are some of the achievements by Club Members.
Our Lions Club of Devonport which became the Lions Club of the City of Devonport following City status can be justly proud of its part in Devonfield.
Lion George Russell
