The New Town Rivulet (commonly known as Newtown Creek) is a permanently flowing creek in Hobart, Tasmania, that has as its headwaters the springs and snow water run-offs of Mount Wellington.
Location
The New Town Rivulet flows from its headwaters though the Hobart suburbs of Lenah Valley and New Town to New Town Bay in the River Derwent.[1]
Headwaters
The rivulet is fed by a number of underground springs[2] in the Wellington Range.
Environmental condition
In 2025 the Hobart and Glenorchy city councils started a project to revegetate the mouth of the rivulet by removing concrete and adding plants.[3]
