Nietta is a rural locality in the local government area of Central Coast, in the North West region of Tasmania. It is located about south-west of the town of Devonport. The 2021 census recorded a population of 63 for the state suburb of Nietta.
The name was used for a parish from 1886. Nietta is an Aboriginal word meaning “little brother”. The locality was gazetted in 1965.[1]
The Wilmot River forms most of the eastern boundary, and the River Leven forms much of the western.
