If you or see anyone who might need refuge shelter, here's some places they can go.
UPDATE: Our temporary Refuge Shelters at the RNA Showgrounds and Sleeman Sports Complex, Chandler have now closed.
PREVIOUSLY: An additional temporary Refuge Shelter is now open in Chandler for residents who are unable to shelter elsewhere during Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Temporary Refuge Shelters are now open at:
📍 RNA Showgrounds, Bowen Hills
📍 Sleeman Sports Complex, Chandler.
PREVIOUSLY: Residents at risk from storm surge and flooding should use the additional time available from the slowing progress of Tropical Cyclone Alfred to seek alternative shelter.
We have opened a temporary Refuge Shelter for residents needing to leave their properties due to the cyclone impacts:
📍 RNA Showgrounds, Bowen Hills
If required, two more temporary Refuge Shelters will open tomorrow:
📍 Sleeman Sports Complex, Chandler
📍 Kedron Wavell, Chermside
These are short-term facilities designed to protect people during the peak wind period and are a place of last resort. They include only basic amenities and will not have beds, cooking facilities or food provision.
If you are attending a temporary Refuge Shelter, consider bringing:
🔵 Non-perishable food
🔵 Any essential medication
🔵 Essential personal documents
Please note that pets are not allowed at the temporary Refuge Shelters.
Make sure you check current alerts and road conditions before leaving. Do not drive through floodwater.
