Our Community
Mingenew has essentially three basic ingredients. Economically, we are an agricultural powerhouse and the southern hemisphereβs largest grain facilitator. Aesthetically we are surrounded by breathtaking breakaway country, with fantastic flat-top ridges and, during WAβs wildflower season, we are arguably its most sought-after destination.

π¦ MOSQUITO SEASON IS HERE! With the warmer weather arriving, mosquitoes and other flying insects are becoming much more noticeable around town. Now is a great time to check around your home and yard for anything that may be holding water. Mosquitoes can breed in surprisingly small amounts of stagnant water, so a quick tidy up can make a big difference. β’ Tip out water from buckets, pot plant saucers, toys and containers β’ Store unused containers upside down or undercover β’ Refresh pet water bowls regularly β’ Keep gutters and drains clear β’ Check pools, ponds and water features are properly maintained β’ Make sure rainwater tanks are adequately screened β’ Use insect repellent and wear loose-fitting, long clothing when mosquitoes are active You may have also noticed large numbers of tiny midges and other flying insects around town recently. Spring conditions can bring a big increase in insect activity, particularly around flowering crops and after warmer weather. While we canβt eliminate all the bugs enjoying spring, removing stagnant water around our homes is one simple way we can help reduce breeding.
