Mango Hill is a suburb in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Mango Hill had a population of 14,921 people.
Although locally known by this name since the 1950s, it wasn't until 1 September 1980 that it was formally decreed. The name Mango Hill was chosen to commemorate the section of Mango trees (Magnifera indica) that were planted along the 700 m (2,300 ft) section of Anzac Avenue that passes through the area.
In March 2006, the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water subdivided the northern section of Mango Hill to form the suburb of North Lakes.
Although now separated, the area still reaps the benefits of the major infrastructure and retail upgrades that have taken place in North Lakes in recent years, including the Redcliffe Peninsula railway line and shopping outlets such as Costco and IKEA. This has resulted in a significant boost to economic growth in the City of Moreton Bay.
