Gale force wind gusts as a result of Tropical Cyclone Alfred are expected later today (March 2) and overnight across the Sunshine Coast coastline and hinterland.

Council is urging the community to stay away from, and report, fallen trees and downed power lines.

Sandbags now available at Caloundra

SES has opened up a public pick-up point for sandbags at: 

  • Caloundra Depot, Ulm Street South, Caloundra.
  • Lighthouse Rugby Club in Caloundra located at Lighthouse Park - 81 Arthur Street, Caloundra.

You can collect them or you can fill sandbags yourself.  Sandbags are a simple and effective way to help reduce the impact of flooding and protect your property.

Council’s Environmental Centres will temporarily close

To ensure public safety, Sunshine Coast Council will close its Environmental Visitor Centres - Mary Cairncross, Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens and Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary - and Sugar Bag Recreation Park’s mountain bike trails from Monday morning, until further notice, due to the predicted wind impacts of TC Alfred.

We encourage our community to stay updated via our Disaster Hub.

How is TC Alfred tracking?

TC Alfred has been moving southwards and weakening and is forecast to turn southeast tonight, moving further away from the Queensland coast while weakening further.

By Tuesday, it is expected to slow down and turn westward, moving back towards the southern Queensland coast.
