| Welcome to Sorell CouncilMayor's Message...
Sorell is celebrating 200 years of settlement with many events organised over the coming weeks providing community members with an opportunity to show pride of place. As the third oldest town in Tasmania since European settlement, Sorell played a critical role as the "granary of NSW" when the area provided most of the grain for the fledgling colony 200 years ago. Very few towns in Australia can look back on 200 years of settlement and Sorell has many secrets and stories to tell. As we celebrate our past we reflect on a bygone era of those who forged a life for their families as we are doing today. In 2009 residents of the Sorell district are again "ploughing new ground". The town is bustling and reflects the confidence of the commercial and residential sectors in the area, remaining one of the fastest growing municipalities in the state. Sorell is changing and it is important to preserve what is left of the historic built environment of the district. Several events will be held over the coming weeks to celebrate our 200 years of settlement, and we would invite everyone to come along and help us commemorate this important time in our history. The town has a colourful past and a promising future. Together we can make 2009 in Sorell a year to remember.
