INFORMATION FOR NEW RESIDENTS
A Message from Mayor Janet Gatehouse
I extend a warm welcome to our municipality to you and your family. While Sorell is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Tasmania, it offers a relaxed lifestyle in a friendly community and picturesque coastal environment. Sorell is one of Tasmania’s oldest towns, and has grown into a diverse and vibrant community with a range of recreational facilities for children, youth, families and seniors. I believe we live in one of the most beautiful regions of Tasmania. Our beautiful beaches and rolling rural landscapes offer our residents a unique and enviable lifestyle.
I trust that you will find the below Residents Information Kit informative. Council’s website has a range of information and resources available to help you settle into your new area.
