Located in Tasmania, Sorell Council is the local government authority for a growing municipality just east of Hobart. The area covers 583 square kilometres and supports a mix of suburban, coastal, semi-rural and rural living, home to around 16,000 residents with growth forecast to continue over the next two decades. The region sits along major routes such as the Arthur Highway and Tasman Highway, and includes historic towns near the coast and inland landscapes. It oversees a broad infrastructure portfolio, including a 345-kilometre road network (111 kilometres urban and 234 kilometres rural), most of which is sealed, plus 87 bridges and extensive stormwater assets, along with 35 community buildings and 12 parks. The council's work focuses on maintaining these assets and services to support residents, local businesses and housing choices in a setting that offers convenient access to Hobart's amenities. In 2026, the council announced a partnership with Ten Lives for a Midway Point Cat Management Community Project, illustrating ongoing collaboration with community organizations to address local needs.
