| Welcome to Sorell CouncilMayor's MessageThe celebrations for the 200 years of settlement of the Sorell District were highly successful. The dedicated members of the organising committees and the community must be congratulated on their efforts and support for the events in March. The banners on the new light poles in the main street of Sorell are a tribute to our 200 year heritage. The transfer of water and sewerage services to three Tasmanian Regional Authorities heralds a new era in Local Government. Those residents who were previously rated for water and sewerage by Council will now receive a separate rates notice from the regulatory authority, Southern Water. The small increase in Council's general rate can be justified and reflects the expectations of residents in this rapidly growing municipality. New commercial facilities within the Sorell area, the promise of a LILAC (Learning and Information Network Centre) and GP Super Clinic will see the municipality prosper and Council remain sustainable. Our Council is currently working with six other neighbouring councils in an endeavour to provide cost efficiencies to residents, whilst maintaining an acceptable level of service. The recent heavy rains have provided welcome relief from the many years of drought in the South East. The promise of "greener pastures" not only for farmers could be realised within the Sorell Municipality over the next few years.
