Blackall Range road network

Blackall Range road network is a group of roads that provide access to the mountain localities and towns from various lowland places, and enable travel between the mountain communities.

The network ensures continuity of access in times of flooding or other natural disasters, and during planned maintenance activities.

The area serviced by the network includes the localities and towns, from south to north, of Maleny, Montville and Mapleton.
