Mundaring Weir Road is a road in the outer eastern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia.
It is the primary access route for Mundaring Weir, a dam and tourist attraction. It is a single carriageway for its entire length, with one lane in either direction. It crosses the alignment of the long since removed Mundaring Weir Railway a number of times, before crossing the Helena River just west of the first pumping station for the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme [ Edmonds, Leigh (1998)"Large timber structures in Western Australia." Perth, W.A. Engineering Heritage Panel, Western Australia Division, Institution of Engineers (5 volumes) mention of the bridge downstream of Mundaring Weir ]
It starts from Phillips Road in Mundaring, 35 km east of Perth's central business district, and heads south towards the weir from which it derives its name through State Forest regions. It then heads west, providing access to the sparsely populated and largely forested agricultural localities of Hacketts Gully and Paulls Valley, before entering Kalamunda from the east. It terminates at a roundabout in Kalamunda's town centre.
It has been a vital link into forestry areas - and also areas subjected to bushfire in recent years.
