About Manning Point

Manning Point is a small coastal village situated on Mitchells Island at the mouth of the Manning River in New South Wales, approximately 339 kilometres north-north-east of Sydney and 33 kilometres east of Taree. With a population of just 229 (2021 census), it is one of the quieter settlements in the Mid-Coast Council area, occupying a scenic location between the Manning River and the Tasman Sea. The village sits at a low elevation of around 3 metres, making it characteristic of the flat, estuarine landscape of the NSW mid-north coast.

Manning Point is popular with anglers, boating enthusiasts, and those seeking a tranquil seaside lifestyle, offering river and ocean access from the same location. The village has a small holiday park and limited local services; residents rely on nearby Harrington or Taree for groceries, schools, and medical care. It attracts retirees and holidaymakers drawn to its unspoilt natural setting, the wildlife-rich Manning River estuary, and proximity to Crowdy Bay National Park.

Manning Point falls under postcode 2430 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Port Macquarie electorate.
