The Kingborough Council or Municipality of Kingborough is a Local Government Area of Tasmania, just to the south of Hobart, Tasmania.
It includes the Hobart satellite town of Kingston and its surrounding suburbs, as well as several surrounding towns including Kettering, Margate, and Snug. It also includes the whole of Bruny Island.

[edit] Environment
Mount Wellington, North West Bay River, D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island are major features of the natural environment of the Kingborough Municipality.[2]
The Kingborough coastal regions are increasingly subject to rising sea levels and resultant foreshore erosion. Communities in some areas are starting to sandbag sections of coast to reduce the effects.[3]
