Tropical Cyclone Alfred is expected to make landfall in Southeast Queensland over the weekend, as a Category 2 system, bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall.
While the exact impact remains uncertain, preparation is key to ensuring your scheme is as resilient as possible.
Even relatively mild cyclones can cause significant damage, particularly through water ingress and windborne debris. We encourage you to take practical steps now to safeguard your building, residents, and common property.
Key Considerations for Your Scheme
➡️ Secure Loose Items – Outdoor furniture, umbrellas, and any unsecured objects in common areas, balconies, and on pool decks should be tied down or stored.
➡️ Stormwater and Drainage Checks – Ensure that gutters, downpipes, and drains are clear to prevent blockages and reduce the risk of flooding.
➡️ Tree Maintenance – If possible, trim overhanging branches that could cause damage in strong winds.
➡️ Building Inspections – A quick check of roofing, façade, and common property structures may help identify any vulnerabilities before the storm arrives.
➡️ Resident Communication – A reminder to all residents about securing their balconies and preparing their homes can help mitigate risk.
