Tropical Cyclone Alfred has brought severe weather, heavy rainfall, and flooding across Queensland and Northern New South Wales, leaving thousands of residents dealing with power outages, property damage, and disruptions to daily life. As recovery efforts begin, many in the community are facing unexpected challenges in the weeks ahead.
Although the Tropical Cyclone Alfred forecast is not 100% accurate, it is known that it will impact most of South East Queensland and parts of New South Wales’ Northern Rivers region. With weather conditions shifting rapidly, emergency services have urged residents to stay prepared as flooding and transport disruptions continue.
As recovery efforts begin, many communities are dealing with unexpected challenges—and The Green Box is stepping in to offer support where we can.
