Geography

The locality is bisected by the Bruce Highway, which enters from the south (Nambour / Bli Bli) and then proceeds towards the north-west to form part of the north-western boundary of the locality before exiting the locality to the north-west (Kulangoor / Yandina).[3]

The locality's south-western boundary follows the North Coast railway line, entering from the south (Nambour) and exiting to the south-west (Image Flat / Kulangoor). No railway stations serve the locality of Parklands.[3]

Most of the locality is within a protected area. The land east of the Bruce Highway is almost entirely within the Parklands Conservation Park except for a small area in the south-east of the locality which is within the Parklands State Forest. [4]

West of the highway, the land use includes a section of the Ferntree Creek National Park, the Nambour Golf Course, a small area of housing, a mix of rural residential and smaller suburban blocks, and two quarries.[4]
