West Takone is a rural locality in the local government areas of Waratah-Wynyard and Circular Head in the North West region of Tasmania. It is located about south-west of the town of Wynyard. The 2016 census determined a population of 8 for the state suburb of West Takone.[1]
The locality was originally gazetted as Takone West. It was re-gazetted as West Takone in 1974.[2]
The Arthur River forms most of the western boundary, and the Hellyer River forms the south-western boundary as it flows to its junction with the Arthur.
The C236 route (Takone Road) enters from the east and runs through to the north-west before exiting.[3]
