Nugent is a rural locality[2] in the local government areas (LGA) of Glamorgan–Spring Bay and Sorell in the South-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about north-east of the town of Sorell. The 2016 census gives a population of 101 for the state suburb of Nugent.[1] The town has a marine west coast, warm summer climate.[3] Altitude is the main determinant of local climate in the region, and droughts are almost non-existent.[4] The town experiences early autumn rainfall.
The Nugent post office opened on 5 February 1883 and closed in 1968.[5] Nugent was gazetted as a locality in 1960.[6]
Currajong Rivulet forms a small part of the northern boundary.
Route C331 (Nugent Road) enters from the south and runs north-east to an intersection with Route C335 in the centre. Route C335 (Kellevie Road) enters from the south-east and runs north-west to the same intersection, from where it continues north-west as Nugent Road until it exits.[6] [7] Nugent Road runs from Sorrel to Buckland, and Kellevie Road passes near Kellevie immediately before entering Nugent.
