The plateau covers about 28 km² (8 km by 4 km) and is classified as a rural area with zoning that prevents subdivision. It has no reticulated water or sewerage, so residents rely on rainwater tanks, bores and septic systems, and the road network offers multiple access points for continuity during floods or maintenance.

Tamborine Mountain was traditionally inhabited by the Wangerriburra clan of the Yugambeh people; the name derives from the Yugambeh word for “wild lime tree” or “place of yams.” The plateau’s geology stems from a lava flow from the Mount Warning eruption 22 million years ago, and European settlement began in the late 19th century after the land was opened for selection.
