The economy is primarily agricultural although timber getting was dominant in the past, with parts of the locality being cleared as soldier settlements following World War I. Rollands Plains has a school of arts hall, cemetery, oval, a Rural Fire Service, and the Upper Rollands Plains Public School. The smaller Rollands Plains Public School closed in the 1960s.
The natural geography is dominated by the Wilson River, a tributary of the Hastings River. The head waters of the Wilson River is near Mount Banda Banda 20 km to the west in the Willi Willi National Park. A number of state forest reservations also lie to the north of the village.

Etymologyedit
The name Rollands Plains derives from Captain John Rolland, the Commandant of nearby Port Macquarie. Taken ill at sea in 1824, he sailed to Port Macquarie seeking medical attention. Medical attention of the day was not able to save him and he was interred at the Church of St Thomas Port Macquarie,[4] under construction at the time.
