Noosa Council will open Noosa Leisure Centre as a place of refuge for residents and visitors who have no other place to go during Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to seek shelter with friends, family and tourist accommodation where possible, but the Leisure Centre will be available from 9am today (Wednesday) for those unable to do so.
Pets are welcome but leads or cages are required to keep them contained.
The Leisure Centre will operate 24/7 until no longer required.
Noosa Leisure Centre is at 9 Wallace Drive Noosaville.
COUNCIL FACILIITIES
Council facilities, including the Customer Service Centre at Tewantin, remain open today, with business largely as usual. Council will provide further information later today regarding operations for tomorrow.
COUNCIL WASTE SERVICES
Residents are reminded that Council’s Eumundi Road waste and recycling centre will close from midday Thursday and remain closed Friday. Its reopening will depend on site conditions and weather – check Council’s website for updates.
Pomona and Cooroy waste transfer stations are closed until further notice.
Residential wheelie bins won’t be emptied on Thursday or Friday. Residents in areas usually serviced on these days should wheel their bins out on Monday next week once waste collections resume, weather permitting. The areas affected by this change include:

Noosa Heads
Weyba Park (the area behind Aldi)
Bluefin Court, Noosaville
Noosa Waters (Saltwater Avenue and east)
