The mountain is near the town of Sheffield. The peak rises to 1,234 metres (4,049 ft) above sea level[1] and there are a number of well-marked bushwalks suitable for a day of pleasant exercise. There are long established walking tracks from both Claude Road and Gowrie Park to the summit.[4][5][6][7]

A Mount Roland cable car has been proposed for the mountain on several occasions.[8] The local community remains divided over the suitability or desirability of a cable car.[9]

The locality of Mount Roland is a rural locality in the local government areas of Meander Valley and Kentish in the Launceston and North and north-west regions of Tasmania. The locality is about 75 kilometres (47 mi) west of the town of Westbury. The 2016 census has a population of nil for the state suburb of Mount Roland.[10] Mount Roland is a confirmed locality.[11]

The Mersey River forms part of the southern boundary. The Mount Roland Conservation Area occupies a small area in the north of the locality.[12] Route C136 (Claude Road) runs through the north-east corner of the locality. Route C138 (Olivers Road) enters from the north-west and runs south until it exits.[11][13]

There was a death near the summit in 2015. A senior health official is alleged to have murdered his wife. The official later took his own life while he was in the Risdon jail.[14]
