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.

πΊ Remembrance Day | 11 November Today, at 11am we honour those whose service and sacrifice have touched families across our district, and to reflect on the importance of preserving their stories so that future generations may remember the cost of conflict and the value of peace. We encourage the community to engage with the Mingenew Historical Society page, as the dedicated volunteers have recognised some of the local people whose service helped shape our district's history. Their stories remind us that behind every name is a person, a family, and a legacy of service. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19x4xFgoPY/?mibextid=wwXIfr Lest We Forget
