One of Tasmania’s fastest growing Municipalities, we have a population of approximately 16,000 residents growing at around 3.6 times the state average. This strong growth is forecast to continue over the next twenty years. Located just 25 kilometres from Hobart, Sorell is one of Tasmania’s oldest towns. Our Municipal area covers some 583 square kilometres, characterised by rolling countryside, low forested hills and long coastlines filled with beautiful beaches. Our key entrance points are Midway Point, Dunalley and Orielton, with our Municipal borders extending east through Orielton and further south east around our scenic coastline, encasing the townships of Dodges Ferry, Lewisham, Carlton, Primrose Sands, Dunalley, Marion Bay and Boomer Bay. Our border also extends through enchanting hillsides and unique Tasmanian forests, incorporating the townships of Forcett, Copping, Nugent and Kellevie. The main highways through our Municipality are the Arthur Highway, which connects us with the Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas, and the Tasman Highway, that connects us to the picturesque East Coast. The Sorell Township is the heart of the south east and provides a commercial focus for the region. With suburban, beachside, semi-rural or rural living options available, our Municipality is popular for its affordable housing, natural coastline, rolling hills and the convenience of major shops and services all within close proximity to Hobart. We manage a 345km road network consisting of 111km of which is urban, and 234km which is rural. 214km of this is sealed roads, with the remaining 131km unsealed. We maintain 87 bridges, 2,523 stormwater pits and 95km of stormwater pipes throughout the Municipality. There are 35 community buildings and facilities and 12 community parks and recreation reserves being managed by our works crews.
