The electoral division of Hobart is one of the fifteen electorates or seats in the Tasmanian Legislative Council. It was originally created in 1856 when the Council became the upper house of the Parliament of Tasmania. The seat was abolished in 1999 and re-created in 2008 after a redistribution saw the former division of Wellington returned to its former name.
The division has an area of 50 km2 and covers the Hobart suburbs of Battery Point, New Town, West Hobart, Moonah, Mount Stuart, Lutana and Lenah Valley. As of 31 January 2015, there were 24,475 enrolled electors in the division.[1]
