The Tamborine Mountain road network is a group of roads that provide access to the mountain community from various lowland localities. The network ensures continuity of access in times of flooding or other natural disasters, and during planned maintenance activities. The locality of Tamborine Mountain includes a plateau [1] that hosts a substantial residential community plus many tourism accommodation and activity venues. [2]
Located to the south-west of Brisbane and north-west of the Gold Coast, in Queensland, Australia, Tamborine Mountain is also a popular day-trip destination. [2] Most traffic from Brisbane travels through Tamborine village, [3] in the locality of Tamborine to the north-west of the mountain, while most Gold Coast traffic travels through Mount Nathan (to the south-east) or Wongawallan [4] (to the north-east).
