About Hannam Vale

Hannam Vale is a small village and locality on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, situated approximately 42 kilometres north-east of Taree and 56 kilometres south-west of Port Macquarie within the Mid-Coast Council area. With a population of 218 at the 2021 census, it is a quiet rural community spread across around 25 square kilometres of forested hinterland at an elevation of approximately 64 metres. The area is characterised by dairy farming and forestry, with a low-density rural residential character typical of the Manning Valley hinterland.

Hannam Vale sits on the fringe of the Barrington Tops hinterland, a region renowned for its rainforest, waterfalls, swimming holes, and volcanic peaks offering sweeping coastal views. The village has a general store serving its small community, while broader services — supermarkets, schools, and medical facilities — are available in Taree to the south and Port Macquarie to the north-east. It appeals strongly to those seeking a quiet country lifestyle with access to spectacular natural scenery, and the surrounding bush provides ample opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife watching.

Hannam Vale falls under postcode 2443 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Port Macquarie electorate.
