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 (RAV) 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, is host to the Tasmanian Falls Festival, an annual event first held in Tasmania on New Year's Eve in December 2003.
