Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said it was important for Sunshine Coast residents to remain vigilant until the threat of heavy rain had passed and thanked the community for their incredible preparation efforts.
"Council is asking that with rain still to come, residents and businesses keep sandbags in place, just in case," Mayor Natoli said.
"When the time comes to dispose your sandbags, please use the sand to top dress your lawn. Place the bag in your general waste bin or keep it handy for future use. The bags may last up to 12 months."
Refuse tips and waste collection services
All refuse tips will reopen tomorrow and for those residential properties directly impacted by Tropical Cyclone Alfred disposal of your storm-damaged household general waste and green waste will be free until COB Sunday, March 16.
"Residential bins collections also resume tomorrow as normal.
"I want to thank those residents who did not get their bin collected on Thursday and Friday, for their patience and understanding.
"For safety reasons Council is unable to operate our landfill at night, so we cannot run a double shift for a make-up collection.
"When residential services do recommence as per their normal schedule, please understand Council rubbish truck drivers can only collect the bins and will not be exiting their vehicles to collect extra items."
Council services
It will be business-as-usual from tomorrow for all front-facing Council services, such as Customer Contact Centres at Caloundra, Maroochydore and Nambour, libraries and aquatic centres, pending individual site impacts from poor weather overnight.
The Place of Refuge centre at Landsborough has closed. Places of Refuge at Caloundra Indoor Stadium and Nambour Showgrounds will be reviewed on Monday in line with the current severe weather warning.
Council's Customer service counters in Caloundra, Maroochydore and Nambour will reopen on Monday 10 March.
Beaches remain closed
There is a coastal hazard and marine wind warning in place and Sunshine Coast beaches remain closed.
Conditions will continue to be dangerous along the coastline and in waterways for several days.
Our community is urged to stay off coastal dunes and seawalls as shifting sands and rocks pose a serious risk of collapse and instability.
Erosion caused by TC Alfred has weakened the dunes at numerous locations along our shoreline, including Kings Beach, Buddina and Coolum, creating steep drop-offs.
These dunes may look stable, but can collapse suddenly, putting people at serious risk.
