About Rollands Plains

Rollands Plains is a village and rural locality on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, located approximately 320 kilometres north of Sydney and around 40 kilometres north-west of Port Macquarie within the Port Macquarie-Hastings local government area. The locality spans around 38 square kilometres of cleared farming land bordered by Willi Willi National Park to the west, with a 2021 Census population of approximately 151 residents. The area sits on land traditionally belonging to the Birpai and Dunghutti peoples, who have lived in the region for tens of thousands of years.

The local economy has long been agricultural, with dairy farming, beef cattle grazing, and some timber production historically shaping the landscape. Parts of the locality were developed as soldier settlement blocks following World War I. The village itself is modest, with residents relying on nearby Telegraph Point and Port Macquarie for most services, schools, shopping, and medical facilities. The proximity to Willi Willi National Park provides opportunities for bushwalking and nature experiences, while Port Macquarie's beaches and regional amenities are within easy reach.

Rollands Plains falls under postcode 2441 and is governed by the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Lyne, while state elections fall under the Oxley electorate.
