Beaudesert–Nerang Road (State Route 90) is a major inter-regional arterial road that connects the township of Beaudesert with the Gold Coast via Canungra. The road commences in Nerang on the western edge of the Gold Coast and travels west through the Gold Coast hinterland and terminates in central Beaudesert at the intersection of Mount Lindesay Highway (National Route 13).

Route description

The road runs west from Nerang and then north to Mount Nathan, leaving the Nerang River catchment for that of the Coomera River. From there it turns west and south-west, following the Coomera River valley upstream to Witheren, crossing the river three times. At Witheren the road passes Kokoda Barracks, the headquarters of the Australian Army’s Land Warfare Training Centre. From there it crosses a watershed to Canungra, where it encounters Canungra Creek, a tributary of the Albert River.

From Canungra it runs north-west, following the Canungra Creek valley downstream to Tamborine, where it turns south-west, crossing the Albert River and continuing generally south-west, following the Albert River valley upstream to Beaudesert.
