The red lion is from the Tasmanian flag – and its location at the top of the shield signifies Hobart's position as the Capital City.{{cite web |title=Hobart Coat of Arms – City of Hobart, Tasmania Australia |url=https://www.hobartcity.com.au/Council/About-Council/Hobart-Coat-of-Arms |access-date=20 September 2018}}
