The New Town Rivulet (commonly known as Newtown Creek[ citation needed ]) is a permanently flowing creek in Hobart, Tasmania, that has as its headwaters the springs and snow water run-offs of Mount Wellington.
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]
The rivulet is fed by a number of underground springs [2] in the Wellington Range.
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]
