BUILDING MANDALONG'S FUTURE
Mandalong is a small rural community. Most of the properties in the area are between 10 and 50 hectares, some in traditional small farming blocks but many in environmentally protected areas. There was a population of just 433 people at the 2021 census.
Typical of rural locations, families had lived in the valley for many years and there was a strong sense of community and appreciation of the local environment.
In recent years Centennial Coal purchased more than 50 properties in the Mandalong Valley. This represented more than 30% of the landholders.
​
During this time the social profile of the community radically changed as long-term owner residents were replaced with tenants. The impact has been significant. This unavoidable sequence of events gradually fractured and weakened the community engagement.
In response to these circumstances the Mandalong Community Association set about an intense period of community-building activities. Central to these activities has been an ongoing ambition to procure a meeting facility to further enable the MCA to draw together and nourish the rebuilding of the community.
