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]
