Community Recovery Hubs have been set up at Thornlands and on Russell Island to support Redlands Coast residents during the recovery phase of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

The pop-up hubs, operated by the Queensland Government in partnership with Redland City Council, provide a one-stop shop for residents who need assistance with access to grants and support from a range of Government agencies, as well as practical and emotional assistance.

Staff are also available at these hubs to assist residents with applying for grants if they are unable to apply online or over the phone.
