Nelsons Plains is a primarily rural suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. [1] [3] It is situated on Seaham Road between the Hunter and Williams rivers. [6] At the 2016 census the suburb had a population of 362. [2]
Nelsons Plains is a wedge-shaped suburb, bisected by Seaham Road, with the point of the wedge in the south-eastern corner where the Williams River joins the Hunter River. [6] This part of the suburb is generally less than 2 metres (7 ft) above river level, making it subject to periodic flooding, as happened during the June 2007 Hunter Region and Central Coast storms. In the north-eastern corner of the suburb elevations reach up to 42 m (138 ft) but to the east of Seaham Road, between the road and the Williams River, the ground slopes quickly downward to a height of less than 2 m (7 ft) above river level, making this part of the suburb also subject to flooding.
At the 2016 census the population was 362, with a median age of 41 and 89.6% of the population spoke only English at home. Australian born residents represented 88.8%, with 2.0% born in New Zealand and 0.8% in England. For religion, 31.4% identified as Anglican, 28.3% as Catholic, 18.9% as having no religion, 7.5% did not state a religion and 5.8% belonging to the Uniting Church. [2]
