City of Hobart

The City of Hobart extends across the foothills of Mount Wellington, encompassing residential neighborhoods, business districts, and natural reserves along the Derwent River.

The local government area of Hobart emerged from colonial settlements established in 1804, becoming a formal municipality in 1852 and receiving city status in 1881.

The municipal area maintains multiple public spaces that honor both Aboriginal heritage and European settlement through interpretive displays, monuments, and educational programs.

The City of Hobart administration manages numerous public facilities, including parks, sports grounds, community centers, and parking areas throughout the municipal boundaries.

The jurisdiction includes 1,695 hectares of natural reserves, protecting native flora and fauna while offering recreational spaces within minutes of the central business district.
