New Norfolk (Leenowwenne/palawa kani: wulawali)[3] is a town on the River Derwent, in the south-east of Tasmania, Australia. With a population of 6,153 in 2021,[1] New Norfolk is the principal township of the Derwent Valley region. Located within the Derwent Valley Council, New Norfolk is situated 32 kilometres (20 mi) north-west of the state capital Hobart on the Lyell Highway and classified as part of the Greater Hobart statistical area.[4]
Established in 1807, New Norfolk ranks as Tasmania's third-oldest European settlement after Hobart and George Town. It was primarily founded by evacuees relocated from Norfolk Island.[5][6] Known for its colonial history, antique shops, art galleries and craft stores, New Norfolk is home to Tasmania's oldest Anglican church, St. Matthews (erected 1823)[7] and one of Australia's oldest hotels, the Bush Inn (erected 1815), which has continuously traded in the same building since issue of its first licence on 29 September 1825.[8] Several private residences dating from the 1800s to the early 1820s remain intact, including Glen Derwent, Stanton, Valleyfield and Woodbridge. New Norfolk is also popular for its natural beauty, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and picnicking. Established in 1861, one of the attractions near New Norfolk is the Salmon Ponds, a fish pond considered to be the oldest trout hatchery in the southern hemisphere.[9][10]
New Norfolk has seen substantial investment and redevelopment in recent years, including the $500m residential and community precinct The Mills.[11][12][13]
