Lewisham is a locality and suburb in the local government area of Sorell, in the Sorell and surrounds region of Tasmania. It is located about 35 kilometres (22 mi) north-east of the town of Hobart.[2] The 2021 census determined a population of 799 for the locality of Lewisham.[3]

History[edit]

The locality is named for the family of Arndell Lewis, an Australian politician. It was proclaimed as a town in 1957, and changed to a suburb/locality in 1988. The shore of Pitt Water forms the western and south-western boundaries.[4]

Road infrastructure[edit]

The C340 route (Lewisham Scenic Drive) runs south from the Arthur Highway through the locality, providing access to other localities.[5]
