History and attributes

The Sorell Municipal Council was established on 1 January 1862, and the first council elected March 26 1862.[3] Sorell is classified as rural, agricultural and very large under the Australian Classification of Local Governments.[4]

Sorell was historically divided from Hobart, and relied on ferry transport until the construction of a causeway in 1872.[5]

Marion Bay, on the council's east coast, was home to the Tasmanian Falls Festival, an annual music and arts festival held every New Year's Eve for 17 years between 2003 - 2019. Due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival did not continue beyond its 17th year.[6]
