Storm and Water Damage Restoration Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast stretches 100 kilometres from Caloundra in the south to Noosa in the north, encompassing multiple distinct storm and flood risk profiles. Coastal suburbs face storm surge and wind-driven rain exposure during East Coast Lows and ex-tropical cyclone events. Canal estate communities — including Pelican Waters, Kawana Waters, and Cotton Tree — are exposed to canal rise during sustained rainfall events. The Sunshine Coast hinterland communities of Maleny, Montville, and Mapleton receive orographic rainfall significantly above coastal averages, creating concentrated runoff that affects properties in the ranges and valley floor communities below.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred made landfall in March 2026 and produced more than 300mm of rainfall in 48 hours across parts of the Sunshine Coast LGA. Alfred was classified as a PERILS industry loss event with a final estimated loss of AU$1.877 billion across 132,000 claims — the largest insured weather event on the Sunshine Coast in recorded history. Many properties sustained compound damage from wind, roof penetration, and subsequent water ingress over multiple days.

Many Sunshine Coast properties affected by ex-TC Alfred in March 2026 still have unresolved recovery issues as of April 2026. Common ongoing problems include secondary mould growth from incomplete structural drying, residual moisture in wall cavities and subfloors that was missed during initial assessment, and disputed or underpaid insurance claims where the original scope of works did not capture the full extent of damage.

NRPG can step in at any stage of the Alfred recovery process. Services available for Alfred claimants include: independent IICRC-certified scope reassessment where the original repair scope is contested; moisture mapping using thermal imaging and pin/pinless meters to identify residual wet areas missed in earlier assessments; and AFCA-ready documentation packages for property owners pursuing dispute resolution with their insurer.
