The Mount Roland cable car was a proposed aerial lift (cable car) at Mount Roland, near Sheffield, Tasmania, Australia.
The proposal was worked upon by the Sheffield-Mt Roland Cable Car Company.[1][2]
The route was first considered in the 1990s.[2] A report from the University of Tasmania's Institute for Regional Development suggested that the cable car would appeal to people who cannot complete the four to six hours return walk[3] to the summit.[4] A cable car was mentioned in Kentish Council's recreational blueprint for Mount Roland.[5]
It was estimated that such a proposal would cost around $13.5 million.[2] The group proposed a community ownership.[6]
This proposal was highly divisive in the community, and gained only limited support[7] and given rise to the Mount Roland Preservation Society.[8] The legal entity was deregistered in 2023.[9]
