Wild winds and dangerous surf warnings are in place for much of Queensland's coastline, as an east coast low develops in the Coral Sea.
Large parts of Queensland are facing another severe weather event, with authorities urging residents to prepare for destructive and gale force winds and widespread rainfall over the coming days.Dangerous surf conditions are expected to cause localised damage and coastal erosion at beaches over the next few days
The Bureau of Meteorology said the warnings stretch from Townsville in the state's north to the New South Wales border, with the system set to "primarily" cause wave and wind impacts to coastal areas. "They'll be very localised and very much confined to the coastline south of about K'gari Fraser Island down to the Queensland-NSW border," Mr Grant said.
"The biggest hazardous risk during the course of this event will be the wave impacts that we see along the south-east Queensland coast.Mr Grant said low-lying areas along the beachfront could see coastal erosion, including the Currumbin car park on the southern Gold Coast, and parts of Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, but "anywhere south of K'gari Fraser Island down to the NSW border" was at risk.
