Mount Roland cable car

The Mount Roland cable car is a proposed aerial lift (cable car) at Mount Roland, near Sheffield, Tasmania, Australia.

The proposal is being worked upon by the Sheffield-Mt Roland Cable Car Company, a venture by Brian Inder of Tasmazia, and John Sinclair of Silver Ridge Retreat.

The route was first considered in the 1990s. 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 six-hour walk to the summit. A cable car was mentioned in Kentish Council's recreational blueprint for Mt Roland.

It is estimated that such a proposal would cost around A$13.5 million. The group propose a community ownership model of the company.

This proposal is highly divisive in the community, and has met with only limited support.
