Tropical Cyclone Alfred service closures
Published 04 March 2025
Tropical Cyclone Alfred will have significant impacts on City of Moreton Bay and is predicted to reach the coast late Thursday or early Friday this week.
Heavy rainfall is forecast from Wednesday (tomorrow), along with a possible storm surge. We encourage people living in low lying or exposed areas to consider leaving early and stay with family and friends, avoiding flood prone areas.
Dangerous winds are also forecast from Wednesday, with the potential for gusts of between 95-130km/hr.
A cyclone brings with it gale force winds making it dangerous for people to move around the City. The time may come when Council cannot assist residents as it is unsafe. If life is in danger, call 000.
