Our Story
We’ve always been a town of industry.
Mining, milling and manufacturing have shaped who we are. As an economy built on coal, we fuelled the nation through times of great change, growing from a small rural community into a thriving trading centre. Plenty’s changed over the years, but the way we are remains the same. We dig deep and work hard. We’re powered by a spark of invention and the spirit of enterprise. We’re makers, with high-tech businesses that manufacture parts to power planes, trains and more. We’re start-ups and creatives and innovators.
But some things will never change in this town of towns: We’ll always be good neighbours. We love our communities, streets and parks. And living next-door to nature. Mansfield’s home to brilliant people, treasured places and gleaming potential. Come and see.
