Queensland's homelessness crisis has been exposed by the recent emergency caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Brisbane's Lord Mayor has announced rough sleepers living in so-called 'tent cities' will be given 24 hours notice to leave.

Significant damage and power outages are possible in the densely populated region of Queensland, where tropical cyclones impacts are not uncommon but direct landfalls are.

When ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred reached South-East Queensland last week, the damage and displacement was seen throughout the region, including at dozens of golf clubs and facilities. While the clean-up has been arduous, and, at many clubs, still on-going, golfers are officially back on the fairways at most of the affected locations.
