This road is part of a network that enables access to Tamborine Mountain from four lowland points, thus providing alternatives in case of flooding, other natural disasters, or planned maintenance.

Prior to the closure of the northern end of James Street as part of the Beenleigh Town Square development, State Route 92 continued north-east on James Street and then north on City Road to the Pacific Motorway.

[4] Nindooinbah pastoral run was established as a sheep station in the area around where Beaudesert now stands about 1842, and the town was settled in 1847.

[13] A timber mill was established in Cedar Creek in 1864,[14] and the locality had farms, a school and a church by the early 1870s.

The first roads along the Albert River valley were cut to provide access to the pastoral runs and new settlements for wheeled vehicles.

With the growth of closer settlement and small farms came the need for better roads and bridges to ensure reliable access to markets.

[18] A project to widen and strengthen sections of the road and to raise a floodway, at a cost of $10 million, was to start in early 2022.
