C705 is a short rural connector in northern Tasmania, running along Bonneys Lane from south-east to north-west. It links Oppenheims Rd (C704) with Moriarty Rd (C702) and Frankford Main Rd (B71) at Moriarty. Although fully sealed, the route is of low standard alignment.

Originally, C705 extended along a short section of Moriarty Rd (C702) from its current terminus to meet Frankford Main Rd (B71), creating a short duplex with C702. At some point during the 1990s, C705 was truncated at the intersection of Bonneys Ln (C705) & Moriarty Rd (C702). However, C705 signage disappeared not only from the junction with Frankford Main Rd (B71), but also he intersection of Moriarty Rd (C702) & Bonneys Ln (C705), leaving C705 signed only at its south-eastern end. Following representations from Peter Renshaw, Latrobe Council, in 2008, installed a non-standard 'blade' sign at the Moriarty Rd (C702) intersection to denote the route of C705.

The B71 fingerboards are no doubt originals, however the Latrobe fingerboard dates from the 1990s or early 2000s. Note that it is also missing a C702 route marker. Source: Peter Renshaw, June 2007.
