Tropical Cyclone Alfred Update
Published 03 March 2025
City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery today urged residents to prepare for Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
TC Alfred is predicted to move towards the southern Queensland coast and expected to make landfall later this week with heavy rainfall and gale force winds expected.
“We are monitoring the evolving situation and have been in a heightened planning mode for all available scenarios.
“While it is uncommon for cyclones to head this far south, we do need to take the very real danger of a significant cyclone event in the area seriously.
“Council staff are undertaking preparations and working with the State Disaster Centre, but right now locals need to use this time to prepare their homes and think about their pets, family and also check on neighbours. We encourage people to consider making plans to stay with family and friends if you live in low lying or exposed areas, prone to flooding.
“I urge all residents to keep Council’s close to hand. Here you will find up to date details on services, sandbag stations, road closures and other important information. Know your risk and prepare your homes for the impact of severe weather, rain, winds and higher than normal tides.
“I understand many residents might be feeling a bit anxious, but rest assured our team is watching the situation closely and are already operating around the clock with other key agencies to manage this situation if it escalates.
“As soon as new information comes to hand, we will be sharing this.”
